The city of Minneapolis remains in turmoil following the deadly ICE shooting of Renee Nicole Good on January 7, 2026. As demonstrations against that tragic event continue, a new video involving ICE agents has ignited fresh anger across the internet.
Viral Footage Captures Aggressive Arrest
In the widely circulated video, ICE officers are seen smashing the passenger window of a car. They then forcefully pull a woman from the vehicle. Authorities claim she was obstructing an immigration operation in Minnesota.
The incident unfolded during an anti-ICE protest. The driver, who has not been publicly identified, positioned her car across traffic lanes. This action apparently blocked ICE vehicles from passing through.
"I'm Disabled," Woman Cries Out
As agents worked to clear the streets of loud protesters, some approached the female driver. They appeared to instruct her to move her car. While she spoke with officers on one side, others broke her window.
Protesters yelled, "Go, go, go, go," urging the driver to leave. Simultaneously, one Enforcement and Removal Operations agent reached into the black sedan. He unlocked the driver's door. Another agent grabbed the woman.
"I'm disabled, I'm trying to go to the doctor up there, that’s why I couldn't move. I am an autistic disabled person, I’m trying to go to the doctor," the woman shouted. Agents threw her to the ground as she pleaded.
They dragged her away while standing protesters blew whistles and screamed for them to stop. One person demanded, "Where is your humanity?" Another shouted, "All you do is hurt."
ICE Official Issues Stern Warning
Following the disturbing protest scene and the viral video, ICE official Marcos Charles spoke with FOX News. He issued a clear warning to anyone who interferes with the agency's operations.
"We will be arresting anybody that interferes or impedes in any of these enforcement actions," Charles stated firmly.
The official also highlighted the number of arrests already made. "We've already arrested 60… that have got in our way, impeded us or assaulted an officer."
DHS Explains Operation Details
A spokesperson for the Department of Homeland Security provided context to The Independent. ICE officers were in the area to arrest a 20-year-old man from Ecuador. They said he entered the United States illegally near El Paso, Texas in 2019.
"One agitator ignored multiple commands by an officer to move her vehicle away from the scene, and she was arrested for obstruction. Another agitator assaulted an officer by jumping on his back. Six of these agitators were taken into custody for assaulting law enforcement," the spokesperson explained.
The community continues to grapple with these intense enforcement actions. The viral video has amplified calls for scrutiny and accountability regarding ICE's methods in Minneapolis.
