Clashes between protesters and ICE escalated as officers moved to transfer a detainee, with Kim attempting to de-escalate before being sprayed; DHS blamed rioters for the violence while lawmakers condemned the treatment and called for accountability and reform.

Noem Walks Back Pepper-Spray Denial Amid Minneapolis ICE Crackdown

Kristi Noem initially denied that federal agents used pepper spray against Minneapolis protesters, then conceded that chemical irritants were deployed only during violence. The episode adds to rising tensions as ICE enforcement under the Trump administration continues, with the Pentagon preparing up to 1,500 troops for possible deployment, a DOJ probe into disruption at a church tied to an ICE official, and reports of protesters being denied access to attorneys.

Court curbs ICE tactics against peaceful Minneapolis protesters

A federal judge ordered ICE to limit crowd-control tactics against peaceful protesters in Minneapolis, barring arrests and pepper-spray against peaceful demonstrators and restricting vehicle stops without reasonable suspicion, ahead of planned weekend protests. The ruling stems from a December lawsuit; DHS says it will uphold the law and protect officers, the White House criticized the decision, and the DOJ announced an investigation into Minnesota leaders over alleged attempts to impede federal immigration operations.
