Violent protests in Minneapolis escalated on Saturday as a man was chased into a parking garage and assaulted by anti-ICE demonstrators, who struck him with a flagpole and pepper sprayed his head wound. Amidst the chaos, another protester, Jake Lang, a pardoned Jan. 6 rioter, was injured while attempting to participate in a controversial march. The Minneapolis Police Department acknowledged reports of these assaults but noted no formal complaints had been filed. Tensions have risen following the shooting of a woman by an ICE agent earlier in the month, prompting the Minnesota National Guard to be put on standby.
