Tensions are on the rise following a Saturday incident in Minneapolis where a shooting involving the Border Patrol led to a man’s death.

In response, anti-ICE activists have intensified their demonstrations, adding to the already charged atmosphere.

Protesters seemed poised to hold agents accountable for any mishaps, even as they actively attempted to obstruct the vehicle involved.

Protesters flooded the streets jeering at masked agents, with some blowing loud whistles – while federal forces fired repeated volleys of tear gas trying to disperse the crowds.

Rioters tossed trash cans atop an armored vehicle and other projectiles, while screaming, “F- – k you!” at armed officers.

“About 200 rioters arrived at the scene and began to obstruct and assault law enforcement on the scene, crowd control measures were deployed for the safety of the public and law enforcement,” the Department of Homeland Security said in a statement after the incident.

If the protesters fell down here, they would doubtless blame the agents even as they were trying to block the vehicle.
