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 attacked the Home2 Suites by Hilton in Minneapolis late Sunday after believing federal Immigration adn Customs Enforcement agents were staying there. Protesters smashed windows, spray-painted anti-ICE slogans, banged trash cans, used drums and strobe lights, and blocked entrances with vending machines and parked cars to harass anyone inside. Some witnesses and social-media posts said local police were slow to respond; the Minnesota State Patrol and DNR were later called to assist. Federal agents eventually arrived, deployed chemical irritants to disperse the crowd, and the agents inside were evacuated unharmed; at least two people were detained and one federal agent sustained a bleeding injury. It remained unclear whether ICE personnel were actually lodging 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.
