Witnesses Say ICE Agents Arrest Minneapolis School Staff, Tear Gas Students; DHS Claims No Tear Gas Was Used
Federal agents detained staff and used pepper spray on students during a raid at Roosevelt High School, leading to school lockdowns and class cancellations, officials said.
- On Wednesday, federal immigration enforcement agents swarmed Roosevelt High School in Minneapolis during dismissal, arriving hours after an ICE officer fatally shot Renee Nicole Good, 37-year-old Minneapolis resident.
- The Department of Homeland Security described the encounter as stemming from a five-mile pursuit during immigration enforcement, with a U.S. citizen allegedly impeding operations and a teacher assaulting a Border Patrol agent.
- A school official said agents handcuffed two staff members and detained a special education assistant taken to the Whipple Federal Building and released Wednesday night.
- Minneapolis Public Schools canceled classes for Thursday and Friday and closed all schools on January 8 and January 9 out of an abundance of caution, saying it is investigating the incident and working with City of Minneapolis partners to support those impacted.
- Witnesses and staff described skirmishes at dismissal with protesters blowing whistles, agents shoving people and community members confronting officers, while former governor Jesse Ventura called the loss of life "a tragedy".
