Tensions are reaching a boiling point in Minnesota, with a series of alarming incidents drawing national attention. Earlier this week, an ICE agent found himself under attack, a situation that escalated to the damaging and destruction of federal vehicles. In a concerning twist, some individuals even managed to steal weapons from these vehicles.

Note: The following tweets contain graphic language.

The unrest isn’t solely targeting ICE. As previously covered, Gregory Bovino, a Border Patrol Commander-at-Large, highlighted that civilian vehicles are also facing assaults, adding to the chaos enveloping the region.
