Dozens gathered on February 8 in Minneapolis to remember U.S. citizens Renee Macklin Good and Alex Jeffrey Pretti, killed by ICE agents on January 7 and 24. The demonstration escalated as people stuck sex toys on fences, threw them at vehicles—including a supporter's car—and pelted each other, leading Hennepin County deputies to declare an unlawful assembly and arrest 42 to 54 individuals. Tensions trace back to ICE operations in the sanctuary city, including the brutal arrest of Alberto Castañeda Mondragón, who suffered severe head injuries that a judge later ruled unlawful. In response, DHS Secretary Kristi Noem ordered body cameras for Minneapolis ICE and CBP officers, sparking debate over transparency versus surveillance fears.
