POLICE arrested at least several demonstrators on Saturday outside a federal building in Minneapolis, breaking up a protest marking the one-month anniversary of a Minnesota woman’s death at the hands of an immigration officer. Renee Good was killed on January 7 as she was driving away from immigration officers in a Minneapolis neighbourhood. Her death and that of another Minneapolis resident,Alex Pretti, just weeks later have stoked outrage nationwide over President Donald Trump’s immigration crackdown.

 

Scores of protesters gathered across the street from the Bishop Henry Whipple Federal Building around midday, throwing bottles and sex toys at a line of police guarding the property. The Minnesota Star Tribune reported that officers arrested a handful of protesters after the crowd starting throwing chunks of ice. A deputy was hit in the head, and a squad vehicle’s windshield was smashed, according to a statement the newspaper obtained from the Hennepin County Sheriff’s Office.
