Tear gas and smoke filling north and northeast Minneapolis tonight on is a perfectly clear winter night in the city.

Keep your windows closed.

There is so much tear gas in the air it can be felt driving on the other side of highway 94 in Minneapolis - in your car.

Similar to 1 week ago at the scene of the killing of Renee Good, Border Commander Greg Bovino showed up to stand with Border Patrol officers blocking the city block. By now a recognizable face, his presence seems to fan the flames.

NOW: On the one week anniversary of Renee Good being shot and killed by an ICE agent in South Minneapolis, reports say a federal officer shot a man in North Minneapolis.

ICE agents are blocking off parts of the neighborhood and continue to shoot less lethal weapons, tear gas and pepper spray.

People who aren't in Minnesota might not know that if you drive or walk past pretty much any school, there's going to be a group of people, parents and childless, standing guard to make sure the kids are safe from feds. It's pretty remarkable. And very disturbing. www.mprnews.org/story/2026/0...

ICE just indiscriminately stopped a citizen at a bus stop in front of the co-op. If this is how they treat the President of the Minneapolis City Council who is legally observing, just think of what they’re doing to everyone else in our City.

Federal agents ram a man's vehicle demanding ID at Park/35th in Minneapolis today. The man says he was let go once they realized he was a US citizen. Crowd grew w/ agents then releasing tear gas & pepper spraying some along w/ press and their cameras.

A short time ago: Students at Roosevelt High School in South Minneapolis held a walkout after returning to classes that were cancelled last Thursday and Friday.

MPS cancelled classes following the presence of armed federal agents who released tear gas around children outside school doors.

Person walks past large wheat pasted posters of Renee Good that read:

"American Mom"
"Murdered by ICE"

More arrests tonight outside the Whipple Building. From what i’ve seen, looks like the Border Patrol officers around it have been swapped out with those from the Bureau of Prisons along with the Homeland Security police.

Saw these large wheat pasted posters tonight around the south side. These particular ones are on boards that went up on the new development at Nicollet/31st. This was the site of a Wells Fargo bank that burned in 2020.
