I've asked BOP how many of their tactical guys are inMN as well as whether they have any comment on how or why their officer is standing outside this hotel with a bloody hand and mouth. This was their response.
(They declined to comment and referred me to ICE.)

A lot more people should know about the bravery Marimar Martinez displayed in the midst of Chicago’s occupation and the murder of two observers in MSP. They tried to kill her, shooting her 5 times, and it’s a miracle she’s alive to push for transparency like this after being persecuted by the DOJ.
The woman who survived five gunshots from a Border Patrol agent in Chicago, only to be criminally charged and then cleared, now wants a judge’s permission to share records showing how the feds respond when agents use deadly force.

Throwing tear gas canisters back to police protects people from harm.
Denouncing those who throw them back as “violent” gives police a free hand to do worse.

The Illegitimacy of Violence, the Violence of Legitimacy

Another question I came here with was: how effective are the whistles and honking? Does it stop abductions? And the answer is, surprisingly to my cynical self, yes, and often. I have talked to so many people who have successfully interrupted kidnappings.

Cook County lawyers are speaking out about Judge James R. Brown, who authored a guest column last fall in which he decried U.S. citizens being “senselessly murdered by illegal aliens” and parroted far-right conspiracy theories such as “Fauci lies.”
‘Blatantly disrespectful’: Lawyer groups push for removal of reinstated judge
The Illinois Supreme Court brought Judge James R. Brown back to Cook County to address a judge shortage — but two bar groups say his recent comments in a conservative blog should disqualify him.

CBP agent Timothy Donahue was photographed outside the Whipple building yesterday. In Chicago, he was documented aggressively detaining bystanders; also involved in at least one car crash.
Most importantly, he also brandished his gun at a crowd in Evanston on 10/31.
