Dozens arrested and one police officer injured in Minneapolis protests

· 2 min read

BBC:

At least 29 people have been arrested in Minneapolis during protests over the death of a woman who was shot by a US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agent.

One police officer was also injured after a “chunk of ice was thrown at them”, city officials said, during demonstrations which saw 1,000 people take to the streets of the city on Friday night.

Protests against immigration enforcement have been held across the US after 37-year-old Renee Nicole Good was shot in her car on Wednesday.

The Trump administration said the agent who fired the shots acted in self-defence. Local officials have insisted the woman posed no danger.

Minneapolis Police declared an unlawful assembly on Friday night as protesters gathered outside the Canopy Hotel in the city, where some ICE agents were believed to be staying.

The Minneapolis police department said in a statement that “some individuals forced entry into the hotel through an alley entrance”.

Videos posted online showed protesters flashing bright lights into the area, blowing whistles and banging on drums.

Police said there were “well over 1,000” demonstrators in the area and some threw ice, snow and rocks at officers, police vehicles and other vehicles, but no serious injuries were reported.

One law enforcement officer suffered minor injuries but did not need any medical attention, according to the BBC’s US partner CBS News.
