BREAKING: ICE agents pepper-spray peaceful demonstrators and journalists and deploy chemical irritants in Minneapolis. Our partners Status Coup News captured the moment live on the ground as it happened.

WATCH LIVE:

@StatusCoup They engineer chaos on the streets not for order, but to build the pretext for martial law—timed perfectly for midterms when democracy threatens their power again. Noem's thugs are just the vanguard of Trump's dictatorship. Deranged and despotic.

@StatusCoup It's completely unnecessary to pepper spray people in the face when they're just standing there. #DefundICE

@StatusCoup Damn.

@StatusCoup Trump's "law and order" means pepper-spraying journalists documenting ICE today—violating a 2021 injunction. 14 canisters fired at peaceful press as federal force surged 312%. This isn't enforcement; it's state violence to silence democracy's watchdogs.

@StatusCoup This is nothing more than intimidation. ICE is serving no useful purpose there.

@StatusCoup

@StatusCoup So no one near them, no aggression by the protesters just continued unwarranted attacks by ICE following the actions of the bully in chief. He’s turning this country in his wishful image as a totalitarian dictator

@StatusCoup But WAIT there's more...

@StatusCoup Blocking traffic ways is NOT peacefully protesting, it is illegal

@StatusCoup Every single fucking one of them is masked. How is this not a problem??? How do we know who any of these people are? How do we know their intentions?? I bet a large portion of them are neo nazi psychos This is such crazy state for America to be in.

@meiselasb @StatusCoup ICE cops are thugs. Attacking peaceful people is their thing. They lack basic human decency and they deserve our scorn. It is satisfying to know that ICE is met with profanity, ridicule and contempt, everywhere they go….even during potty breaks at Target.

@StatusCoup You cant block traffic or internet with their operations

@StatusCoup Media needs to show the horrific videos from the last few days ( ice slapping women kicking over memorial candles from Ms Good etc etc ) to individual Republicans and have them state for the record that this is OK with them When will @GOP do something about this shit?

@StatusCoup

@StatusCoup Get out of the fucking road you morons. 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️

@StatusCoup The Masked Morons

@StatusCoup

@StatusCoup They were told to exit the street and refused. These ppl want to push the line and when the line has to be drawn for them, they cry foul. Bunch of hysterical children.

ICE behaves like the KGB in the USSR, beligerant, violent assholes, thinking they can provoke peaceful protesters to violence. Absolute heros taking the violent abuse and not giving ICE what they want. ICE just wants an excuse to kill.

@StatusCoup thin skinned thug trash should not be allowed into @ICEgov

@StatusCoup Right at the top.

@StatusCoup Narrator is a fucking imbecile

@cg_evie @StatusCoup And somewhere back in Russia Vladimir Putin is leaning back in his chair smiling, watching Trump taking care of business for him.

@StatusCoup

@StatusCoup

@StatusCoup They aren’t peaceful if they are blocking traffic by standing in the road..

@StatusCoup Why are ICE agents doing crowd control? We were told they were rounding up the worst of the worst illegals out there, not beating people, gunning citizens down, arresting citizens, doing cosplay, & carrying out crowd control.

@StatusCoup We need battery operated handheld fans. Blow that shit right back on them. 😡

@StatusCoup

@StatusCoup ENOUGH! 🤬🤬🤬 #AbolishICE

@StatusCoup Its a felony to pepper spray someone who isnt an active threat.

@StatusCoup This shit has to stop.

@StatusCoup It was a mostly peaceful pepper spraying

@meiselasb @StatusCoup Peaceful is a word that the left doesn’t understand. They are totalitarians. They keep trying to force another Kent State moment and will sacrifice their babies they bring to riot in order to get it. These are Hamas tactics used by Hamas supporters. Nothing less.
