They are among the first protesters and observers of the ICE crackdown in the state facing charges. Affidavits filed in federal court accuse defendants of anything from spitting to throwing an egg or brick at federal agents. Several of the arrests stem from a confrontation between federal agents and protesters at Roosevelt High School in Minneapolis. Others occurred after confrontations in front of the Whipple Building, the epicenter for immigration agents' operations, or were tied to immigration enforcement operations around Minnesota. Immigration agents have pepper-sprayed and tear-gassed observers, arrested U.S. citizens and shot and killed two Minnesota residents, Renee Good and Alex Pretti.
