Overnight Videos: MN Hotel Occupants Bar Doors With Vending Machines So Anti-ICE Rioters Can’t Get in, at Least One ICE Agent Left Bloodied
A mob of protesters stormed the Home2 Suites by Hilton in Minneapolis on Sunday night after believing U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents were staying there. Windows were smashed, anti-ICE graffiti and trash were left inside, and demonstrators used drums, strobe lights and barricades (including vending machines and parked cars) to harass those inside. Witnesses and social posts alleged a slow local police response; the Minnesota State Patrol and DNR were called to assist, according to the Department of Public Safety. Federal agents later arrived, deployed chemical irritants to clear the crowd, and evacuated the alleged ICE personnel unharmed. At least two people were detained and one federal agent was reported bleeding after the confrontation. It remained unclear in some reports whether ICE agents were actually staying at the hotel.
A mob of protesters smashed and crashed their way into a Minneapolis hotel on Sunday night as the city continued to be roiled by mob violence aimed at U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement.
Some at the scene alleged that Minneapolis police were slow in responding.
The hotel’s windows were smashed and anti-ICE graffiti was painted onto windows because protesters believed federal agents were staying at the Home2 Suites by Hilton Hotel, according to the New York Post.

It was unclear whether ICE agents were actually staying at the hotel, but those threatened by the mob, including a law enforcement officer, pushed vending machines into doorways to block the rioters.
Although protesters were told there were only local personnel in the hotel, they used drums, strobe lights, and anything else they had to disturb anyone in the hotel who might be trying to sleep.

“ICE OUT” and “ICE KILLS” were painted on the outside of the hotel, while trash was left inside.
Federal agents eventually arrived to push back the mob.

“While they collaboratively worked to encircle the group for arrests because the demonstration was not peaceful, federal agents arrived without communication and deployed chemical irritants, clearing the group. The State Patrol and DNR are no longer on the scene,” the agency wrote in another post.
