6:10Now PlayingIndependent reporter Zach D Roberts was LIVE ON THE GROUND covering ICE protests in Minneapolis on January 15th, 2026 when ICE agents attacked unarmed protesters with tear gas, pepper balls, and other chemical ammunition. In this video, Roberts speaks with independent photographer John Abernathy soon after he was tackled by ICE agents, pinned to the ground, and had pepper spray released into his face. The unprovoked attack left Abernathy with bruises on across his body and a bloodshot eye.
