ICE continues with their violence and lawlessness.

🚨BREAKING: ICE/Border Patrol agents are proving once again that they are not targeting violent criminals…They are targeting children and families.

On Sunday, agents were caught illegally operating in Minneapolis public parks, in direct violation of city orders, and then tear-gassing spaces designed for kids and families.

This happened at Powderhorn Park.park.inIn the video, ICE agents are seen aggressively driving into the parking lot of a public park, on a Sunday… a day when families and children regularly sled, play, and gather there.

U.S. citizens are already in the park. They begin recording and blowing whistles.

An ICE agent then chases a U.S. citizen through the park, tackles him to the ground, and handcuffs him.

While that’s happening, other agents begin deploying tear gas, throwing canisters at U.S. citizens who are nowhere near them, filling the parking lot and the park itself with smoke.

Tear gas causes respiratory distress, burning eyes, nausea, and panic… effects that are especially dangerous for children.

And agents illegally deployed chemical agents anyway, in an open public park, with families nearby.

That is excessive use of force, and child endangerment.

And they did all of it while being explicitly prohibited from operating in the park in the first place…The Minneapolis Mayor’s Executive Order 2025-02 bans civil immigration enforcement staging on city property.

On January 7th, 2026, the Minneapolis Park and Recreation Board unanimously passed a resolution aligning with that order, explicitly prohibiting ICE from staging or operating in parks.

ICE did it anyway.

And it didn’t stop there…Later, that same day, around 12:45 PM, ICE agents were seen sitting in Folwell Park, another public park.

A woman approaches them, calmly cites the order, and tells them they are not allowed to be there and need to leave.

ICE/Border Patrol are choosing spaces where children gather instead of places where actual crimes occur, then responding to public scrutiny by assaulting civilians and deploying chemical weapons.

If ICE/Border Patrol are willing to do this in broad daylight, on a Sunday, in front of families, while being filmed, after being explicitly told they are not allowed to be there…Then they are not enforcing the law.

They are endangering children and assaulting anyone who dares to exercise their First Amendment rights...
