Protesters targeted a hotel where Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents were allegedly staying in Minneapolis after Saturday’s fatal shooting of Alex Pretti by a federal agent, according to videos and posts on social media.

Protesters had gathered outside the Home2 Suites by Hilton on University Avenue SE for a noise demonstration on Sunday night, according to reports and videos from the scene. Footage appeared to show a window being smashed, while “ICE OUT" could be seen spray-painted on the windows in photos.

Federal agents who responded to the scene after state troopers were working to disperse the crowd deployed “chemical irritants,” the Minnesota Department of Public Safety said. Unconfirmed reports on social media said federal agents used tear gas and flash bang grenades to disperse protesters gathered outside the hotel.

Officials have not confirmed if federal agents were staying at the hotel. Newsweek has contacted the Department of Homeland Security, the Minnesota Department of Public Safety and the hotel for comment via emails sent outside regular business hours.

1. When protesters see them leaving the hotels is the time they should get in the room to gather DNA. nt

2. This is giving trump the excuse he wants to send in real troops

I say be more discreet. Lots of folks are really good at finding out who these people ARE
Start making THEIR families feel uncomfortable while they're out of state harassing others.

3. I haven't seen him requiring any excuses to date

He's doing what he wants, when he wants... the excuses happen only after the fact.

5. I'm talking about active troops. Like would be used during the election

So far he hasn't done THAT

I'm hoping Trump, being the narcissistic dolt he is, sees that this shooting makes HIM look bad & cuts Noem & maybe a couple others loose.

4. So much for my Hilton Honors card

They lifted the franchise from a Hampton Inn that refused to House ICE last month. Another Hilton hotel.

6. A hotel? They should be sleeping in tents and eating WW2 C-rations.
