Anti-US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) activists were seen attacking and confronting federal agents during an immigration enforcement raid in Minneapolis on Tuesday, as tensions continue to rise in the Twin Cities following the death of Renee Nicole Good last week.

Video footage from the busy area shows dozens of rioters entering the lane of migrant workers’ cars, standing next to and in front of them as police try to push through the crowd.

Agents could be seen using tear gas and pepper spray in an attempt to disperse the crowd and plan an exit.

At the time of the incident, protesters were heard chanting anti-fascist slogans, shouting insults, blowing whistles and honking car horns, which seemed to be an attempt to disrupt the work and cancel the orders of the law enforcement officers.

“Every day we will fight the Fascists,” a young man was heard shouting while recording the incident on his mobile phone.

“This is Minneapolis, and we’re not going to lose,” he added.

Some could be heard encouraging others with cow horns and arguing about disrupting the operation of the law.

In one incident, a man was seen standing in the middle of the road with his hands in the air, cursing the ambassadors saying “what are you going to do now if you are going to do it.” He was later seen wiping the pepper from his face with water.

In another local incident, protesters tried to distract federal agents as they sought to arrest at least one suspect, blocking operations and forcing agents to work amid a dense crowd. The rioters there also shouted insults at the ambassadors, blew whistles and car horns.

On Monday night, federal agents fired tear gas and rubber bullets after insurgents threw explosives at them outside a government building in the city.

The Department of Homeland Security said more than 2,000 people have been arrested in Minnesota since December as part of what ICE described as its largest enforcement operation in the state.
