Federal agents at Minneapolis school spark chaotic scene

Federal law enforcement agents were involved in a confrontation outside Roosevelt High School just hours after an ICE agent shot and killed a woman in Minneapolis, with union leaders and federal officials offering different accounts of what unfolded.

According to the Minneapolis Federation of Educators, ICE agents were present outside Roosevelt High School Wednesday afternoon. The union alleged agents deployed tear gas, but later stated it was pepper spray, and "abducted" a school staff member who was assisting with a safe dismissal process. The educator was later released, the union said.

Federal officials, however, offered a different account of what happened.

In a statement, the Department of Homeland Security claims Border Patrol agents were conducting immigration enforcement operations in Minneapolis when a U.S. citizen was trying to impede those operations and escalated the situation by ramming a government vehicle.

Federal officials claim the individual led agents on a 5-mile chase and drove recklessly through traffic before coming to a stop in the school zone near Roosevelt High School.

According to DHS, while agents were removing the individual from the vehicle, another individual identifying themselves as a teacher assaulted a Border Patrol agent. DHS claims a crowd formed and that "rioters" threw objects and paint at officers and their vehicles.
