Antifa Militants Target Federal Agents at Downtown Hotel

Anti-ICE demonstrators escalated from street protests to direct assault on federal law enforcement when black-clad militants forced entry into The Depot Minneapolis hotel. The masked agitators believed Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents were lodging at the Renaissance Minneapolis facility during ongoing federal operations. Video evidence captured rioters pounding windows, breaching the lobby vestibule, and spray-painting “f*** ICE” across hotel property while hurling objects at anyone attempting to stop their rampage.

The coordinated attack represents a dangerous escalation in leftist tactics, moving beyond typical street demonstrations to targeted harassment of federal agents at their temporary housing. This systematic approach to intimidating law enforcement officials undermines the rule of law and threatens the safety of those sworn to protect our borders and enforce immigration policy.

Police Chief Forced to Retreat as Officers Overwhelmed

Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O’Hara found himself personally involved in the chaotic scene as his officers were chased back to their vehicles by the aggressive mob. Video footage shows police units retreating and abandoning areas under intense crowd pressure, with at least one squad car surrounded and pelted with projectiles. The unprecedented sight of a major city’s police chief participating in a tactical withdrawal exposes the complete failure of local leadership to maintain basic public safety.

Multiple independent videographers documented officers in riot gear being pursued and harassed as they attempted to escort vehicles away from the hostile crowd. This humiliating display of weakness invites further violence and emboldens radical elements who view law enforcement retreat as validation of their intimidation tactics. The incident echoes the 2020 Minneapolis riots when the Third Precinct police station was burned, demonstrating that progressive policies have learned nothing from past failures.

Destruction Spreads to Downtown Business District

The violence quickly expanded beyond the targeted hotel as rioters moved through downtown Minneapolis, breaking into additional businesses and shattering windows throughout the area. Eyewitness reports and social media documentation show systematic property destruction as the mob spread its anti-law enforcement message across the business district. Local business owners face mounting repair costs and security concerns while city officials remain conspicuously absent from public statements addressing the crisis.

Governor Tim Walz faces mounting pressure from conservative voices demanding immediate National Guard deployment to restore order and protect federal agents from further targeting. The governor’s silence during this crisis mirrors his ineffective response during the 2020 riots, when Minneapolis burned while he hesitated to take decisive action. This pattern of progressive weakness in confronting left-wing violence directly threatens constitutional governance and the safety of law-abiding citizens who expect their elected officials to uphold the rule of law.
