Anti-ICE protesters tear safe box from car in Minneapolis
A locked storage box was torn from the trunk of a federal vehicle during anti-ICE protests following an ICE-involved shooting in North Minneapolis Wednesday evening.
MINNEAPOLIS (FOX 9) - The FBI released new photos of a suspect wanted for stealing government property from federal vehicles after an ICE shooting in Minneapolis last week as it offers a $100,000 reward in the case.
Documents stolen from federal vehicles
The backstory:
Last week, videos showed protesters tearing a safe box from a federal vehicle following the shooting in the area of 24th Avenue North and 6th Street North. In the shooting, the Department of Homeland Security said its officer shot a man in the leg after he had been attacked during an arrest.
The shooting turned into a protest and clashes between protesters and police that night.
What we know:
Amid the chaos, it appears federal vehicles were left behind at the shooting scene. Video captured by journalist Brendan Gutenschwager showed protesters using ratchet straps to rip a cabinet box from a vehicle believed to belong to federal authorities.
Sec. Kristi Noem later said she believed the vandalized vehicles belonged to FBI agents – not the Department of Homeland Security.
