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 crowd of anti-ICE protesters smashed windows, painted “ICE OUT” adn “ICE KILLS,” and forced entry at the Home2 Suites by Hilton in Minneapolis on Sunday night after believing federal agents were staying there.Protesters used drums, strobe lights and barricades (including pushed vending machines and parked cars) to harass people inside; some onlookers and social-media posts said Minneapolis police were slow to respond. the Minnesota State Patrol and DNR were called to assist with hotel damage, and federal agents later arrived, deployed chemical irritants to clear the crowd, and evacuated the ICE agents (who were reported to have left unharmed). At least two people were detained and one federal agent was reported bleeding; it remained unclear weather ICE personnel had actually been housed 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.


“The Minnesota State Patrol and DNR [Department of Natural Resources] were called to assist Minneapolis police with damage to hotel property at Home2 Suites Hotel on University Avenue,” the Minnesota Department of Public Safety wrote on X.


“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.

At least two people were detained.

One federal agent was bleeding after the mob rushed the hotel.
