Basically… nothing happened:

What we know:

The Hennepin County Sheriff's Office says its deputies responded around 1:10 p.m. to calls for help from the Department of Homeland Security.

ICE agents said they were surrounded and being attacked in the area of 29th Street West and Pillsbury Avenue by "60 to 70 agitators."

When deputies arrived, they say they did not witness any attacks or agents needing medical assistance but saw the crowd was preventing agents from leaving. Deputies assisted with crowd control, allowing the agents to leave the area. No arrests were made during the incident and deputies say they did not use any pepper spray or tear gas to clear the crowd.

They call it "mostly peaceful" in Minneapolis. At least one ICE agent went down, ICE used pepper spray to fend off the rioters and they tased at least one guy.

They need jobs.
There are plenty of other jobs now that the dirty immigrants are being deported. They are free pursue one of those less intense ones. Like picking strawberries or melons.

Their first training should be that ICE is slippery.

As a resident of minnesota, you should know that liquids can freeze quickly on frozen ground.

Sounds like excessive force on protesters. There was no riot.

One of the liberal reporters on the scene said that apparently one of the officers was pushed down. By the time the police arrived all the crowd was doing was blocking ICE agents from leaving, which is illegal.

Given that masked ICE goons have detained over 170 US citizens, including one case where they crashed into a US citizen's car, then dragged a woman from the car at gunpoint and kidnapped her, perhaps these protestors were just a well-regulated militia, being necessary to the security of a free State.

Knowing the freedom Americans value so much, I would hope that people monitoring the activities of ICE become more common.
The threats to family members of ICE personnel have risen dramatically.

And ICE have illegally detained US citizens, which is also illegal.

But that's the problem with acting the way they do - when the authorities don't care about the law, you have a hard time convincing people to care about the rules as well.

Also the irony of ICE personnel complaining about being surrounded and "detained" illegally, when they do the exact same thing.

"Federal agents were forced to deploy pepper spray and other crowd control measures after a sizable mob of Somali and far-left rioters surrounded them as they conducted deportation operations in Minneapolis on Tuesday."

They were interfering with a federal law enforcement operation, continuing to block access after a lawful order was given.
