EXCLUSIVE TO FOX NEWS: A man has been taken into custody by federal authorities this week for allegedly shattering a window at a federal courthouse in Minneapolis.
The FBI has named the suspect as Georgio James-Jones, stating that he attempted to forcibly enter the courthouse amidst a protest on January 7.
In a statement provided to Fox News Digital, FBI Director Kash Patel discussed the arrest of James-Jones.
“This week, the FBI, in collaboration with our partners, apprehended Georgio James-Jones, the individual accused of breaking windows in an effort to breach a federal courthouse in Minneapolis last week. The FBI has consistently emphasized that any assault on law enforcement, interference with their duties, or engagement in violent and destructive acts will be met with justice,” Patel asserted.
James-Jones was reportedly among a group of anti-ICE protestors who were seen forcefully striking the doors of the Diana E. Murphy Courthouse in Minneapolis.

The protest was part of a nationwide streak of unrest in the wake of the death of Renee Nicole Good, who was shot and killed by an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officer in Minneapolis last week.
Another protest in California on Tuesday saw agitators burning an American flag and shouting expletives through a megaphone.

The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) said two officers were injured in a clash with the protesters. One of the demonstrators was also struck in the eye with a crowd-control munition, leaving the eye blind, according to his family.
The Justice Department has surged federal officers and prosecutors to Minneapolis this week, focusing primarily on fraud and immigration cases.

City officials said residents have raised concerns about neighborhood access, with multiple 311 calls requesting barrier removal. While memorials created by community members will remain intact, the city said surrounding streets must stay clear to ensure emergency access.
