The usual NYT 'both-sides' framing: "Minnesotans quickly responded...disrupting the city with chaotic clashes". In fact, both the chaos and the clashes were instigated, escalated, and intentionally elevated BY ICE, NOT "Minnesotans".

This is the aftermath of an ICE kidnapping a few blocks from my home in St. Paul—an hour ago. A quiet street full of broken glass and at least three wrecked cars. The target of the kidnapping was taken away by ambulance. He was on a stretcher and covered by a sheet, though a cop said he was alive.
