US EditionCounterprotesters swarm far-right activist’s Minneapolis rally
Jake Lang’s small far-right rally supporting ICE was overwhelmed by hundreds of counter-protesters amid heightened tensions after an ICE agent fatally shot Renee Good earlier this month.
- On Jan. 17, Jake Lang led a pro-ICE, anti-Islam rally outside Minneapolis City Hall that was cut short after counterprotesters overwhelmed and chased his group off the street, with Lang claiming he was stabbed and appearing bloodied as he left.
- Amid a federal enforcement surge, more than 2,000 federal officers were deployed across the Twin Cities, intensifying community anger after Renee Good, a U.S. citizen, was shot by an ICE officer on January 7.
- During the confrontation, counterprotesters pelted Lang's group with water balloons and snowballs in near-zero degrees Fahrenheit, then pulled Lang off a Minneapolis City Hall ledge and followed him four blocks to a hotel where he retreated bleeding.
- State officials mobilized the Minnesota National Guard at Tim Walz, Governor of Minnesota's direction and a federal judge limited immigration agents' use of force Friday, while state officials sued the Trump administration last week.
- Beyond the downtown clash, the demonstrations intensified local-federal disputes with lawsuits and subpoenas involving Minneapolis's Somali American community and state officials.
