Newsweek, "Trump's DOJ announces arrest of 16 Minnesota protesters:" [View all]

Attorney General Pam Bondi announced that 16 people have been arrested in Minnesota for allegedly “assaulting federal law enforcement” amid ongoing protests against President Donald Trump’s immigration crackdown in the state.

Tensions over federal immigration enforcement in Minneapolis and elsewhere have intensified in recent days after federal agents fatally shot 37-year-old nurse Alex Pretti. The killing came just days after ICE officer Jonathan Ross shot and killed Renee Nicole Good, and after another encounter in the city left Venezuelan migrant Julio Cesar Sosa-Celis wounded during an attempted arrest, authorities said.

Bondi wrote in a Wednesday afternoon X post, “I am on the ground in Minneapolis today. Federal agents have arrested 16 Minnesota rioters for allegedly assaulting federal law enforcement — people who have been resisting and impeding our federal law enforcement agents. We expect more arrests to come.”

For those who think replacing Bovino with Holman and moving “Noem on the Range” out of the
picture is gonna change Trump’s war on American citizens they might be wrong.

If you read the article many of those arrested by the D o J had filed complaints about their treatment
by Trump’s ICE and Homeland Security goons.
