Fairly large crowd on the sidewalk in Lyn Lake sharing war stories about the federal agents who got out of their car, then decided the crowd was too big, almost immediately retreated. Agents tossed a gas canister as a parting gift. This happened shortly before I arrived.

Video of federal agents getting run out of Lyn Lake this afternoon. Agents drop a gas can at the end and someone kicks it back at them.

This actually make me proud to be an American. MOST of us dont want this fascist shit anymore. Keep resisting! Run them the fuck out.

I think this was my immediate thought. In any other time or place, deploying tear gas in such a busy public place, when there's no active protest and no laws being broken and then driving off, would get you in a lot of trouble.

They calmly walk to their vehicle, surrounded yet unimpeded, THEN drop the tear gas? Did... did they just try to torinoko their way outta there?

How are they allowed to drop gas cannisters in public areas? What about children, elderly, shop workers, pets etc. Surely it's illegal.

Exactly! It’s a war crime to use tear gas on soldiers! But it’s just totally fine to use chemical weapons on a city street in the middle of the day? Unbelievable.

Love to see these patriotic Americans swarm these motherfuckers like hornets. Also, thanks to whoever shot this for filming in landscape mode.

They're asking 5 years of social media, 10 years of addresses and phone numbers, and a DNA sample from visitors - not sure if that's what they're asking for now, or what they'll be asking for soon, but it's dodgy as hell.

The nightmare I refer to is this whole administration and its aftereffects that will last for years, not just ICE in MN. There's no way I'm going to the US under the current administration (see Canada and our boycott of travel to the US). Plus they wouldn't let me in even if I tried.

Man, people ain't joking, everyone really does just come running out of the fuckin woodwork like game summons, holy shit that swarm is impressive!

FINALLY! Says the history teacher who taught the rise of fascism to H.S. students who didn’t understand why they ‘had to learn boring stuff.’ IF they HAD learned it, we wouldn’t BE here, now. But here we are & we MUST fight. The Trump regime is violent, stay safe while you resist! #ResistFascism

Make noise. Be loud. We all need to buy whistles and get ready. They are showing us how to do it. Congressional Republicans approved billions for the Trump regime to expand their terror operation across our country. Vote them out in November.

“Every one of these persons honking their horn and making it difficult for federal agents to do their job is a domestic terrorist that deserves to be shot in the face.” Brought to you by the leadership of your country.

My family immigrated from Italy to Minneapolis in 1922. My Mom was tough as nails, but oh so lovely. The true “fine people”.

Not a fun subject- real problem: Armed forces if you don’t make the right choice (constitution) you could find vigilante bullets headed your way. (Out of no where)- pop pop pop *** It’s a complete shame what this administration is building.

@governor.ny.gov fight this tyrannical gov't, protect state citizenry & sovereignty; establish a state militia along our borders; ICE is met, they unmask for photos & sign in & have entrance ONLY to execute PROPER Warrants, state militia follow; after executing warrants ICE is escorted out again

ICE are terrorists & must GO we can't permit 100% unaccountable, masked, state sanctioned, thugs in our neighborhoods - ICE NEVER sought to take illegal immigrants with criminal convictions - Trump uses ICE to intimidate, terrorize & silence we the American people -NO -fight to keep democracy

States & lawmakers STEP UP! PROTECT your citizenry States need militias who meet ICE at the border; they remove masks for photos, sign in, & have admittance ONLY as needed to execute PROPER, LEGITIMATE warrants State militia follow to protect citizenry &, warrants executed, ICE are escorted out

A BEAUTIFUL Ballet of Americans joining up to stomp fascists - Bovino, like all GOP, lies first & worries about facts never - MAYBE the first 2 days ICE Terrorists were out & about, & pre-masks, people were curious about them & spoke to them - NO LONGER TRUE I would be surprised if 1% are ok w ICE

This is so awesome to see everyone coming together like this. Trump and ICE are trying to follow the Nazi playbook, but the USA in 2026 is not Germany in the 1930s.

Be careful with those gas cans , the best technique is to use a traffic cone to contain them. Never touch one, it will burn you , but if you want to fling it back you can slide a board under the cone to capture it.

Turning up with a stick can have legal repercussions but using improvised equipment rules out a lot of legal routes for the prosecution. Stay safe

I love this city. I love that people aren't backing down. I love how quickly people respond as soon as one single whistle or horn is heard. I love how fiercely folks are protecting the vulnerable. I love this city. 💙🩵🤍

I love the bare-armed woman in the pink halter top strolling down the street yelling at them. My money is that she's a bartender and takes absolutely no sh!t from drunk dickbags and all the regulars love her for it. Upper Midwesterners are fucking built different.

That was me, I'm actually a huge temperature wimp but you know we'll be out there all day and night to defend our neighbors (and 40 feels great when you've been hauling donations for families afraid to leave their homes all day)

The temps are about to drop precipitously. They've been struggling with black ice and the weather during the *nicest* weather you can get up here in January. They're about to be punched in the face by normal MN winter temps, and I, for one, cannot wait.

Wrecktangle Pizza (won GMA's Best Pizza in America, btw) did some great fundraising for the community yesterday, so they were simply looking to punish them for that despite the fact that they weren't even open today.

That's exactly what everyone should be doing. If they shoot tear gas canisters at you pick it up and throw it back at them, they spray Pepper Spray at you return fire. They start shooting at you SHOOT THE FUCK BACK.

I hope these idiots develop an aversive response to a bunch of totally unavoidable things as a result of their participation in this. I hope they feel on edge and unsafe when they hear a crowd, or a car horn, or a whistle. I hope screaming wine moms haunt their nightmares
