Eight arrested in Minneapolis as Trump officials issue threats to protesters

Federal agents use teargas against protesters as homeland security officials tell of largest operation in DHS history'

Eight people were arrested outside a federal building in Minneapolis on Tuesday, according to the Department of Homeland Security, as the Trump administration doubled down on threats to protesters and city and state officials who might try to impede their mass deportation agenda.

Throughout the afternoon, crowds of people who gathered in protest against the continued presence and violent tactics of federal immigration officers in the city were hit with teargas, pepper balls and flash bangs. Demonstrators have amassed in the city and across the country after the Minneapolis mother Renee Nicole Good was killed by a federal immigration agent.
