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 anti-ICE protesters stormed the Home2 Suites by Hilton in Minneapolis late Sunday, smashing windows, painting anti-ICE slogans, and creating barricades and noise with drums, strobe lights and horns after believing federal immigration agents were staying there. Witnesses and social media users alleged a slow local police response; hotel staff and others pushed vending machines into doorways to block the crowd. It was unclear whether ICE agents were actually present, but federal personnel were eventually evacuated and federal agents responded, deploying chemical irritants to disperse the crowd. The Minnesota State Patrol and Department of Natural Resources were called to assist with property damage, then later left the scene. At least two people were detained and one federal agent suffered bleeding after the confrontation. Social posts and videos circulated widely during and after the incident.
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.
