Watch: ICE agents smash window, drag 'disabled' woman from car in Minneapolis protest clash
Minneapolis is still reeling from the fatal ICE shooting of 37-year-old Renee Nicole Good on January 7, 2026. As protests against the shocking incident go on and the administration tries to justify the act, another ICE video from the city is now making the rounds on the internet.
In a video going viral online, ICE agents smashed the window of a car and yanked a woman out of it for allegedly obstructing an immigration enforcement operation in Minnesota.
The footage captured the incident that broke out when the unidentified driver positioned her car across lanes of traffic, apparently blocking ICE vehicles from driving through during an ongoing anti-ICE protest.
As agents tried to clear the streets of screaming protestors, some of them walked up to the female driver, appearing to ask her to move along. While the woman was talking to some agents on her side, others smashed her car's passenger window.
“Go, go, go, go,” people yelled at the driver. However, at the same time, one Enforcement and Removal Operations (ERO) agent leaned into the black sedan and unlocked the driver's door as another one grabbed the woman.
"I'm disabled, I'm trying to go to the doctor up there, that’s why I couldn’t move. I am an autistic disabled person, I’m trying to go to the doctor," the woman was heard shouting as the agents threw her to the ground.
As the agents dragged her away, standing protestors blew whistles in protest and yelled at them to stop. “Where is your humanity?” asked one while another said, "All you do is hurt."
"We will be arresting anybody that interferes or impedes in any of these enforcement actions," he warned. The official also boasted about the number of people who have already been detained. "We've already arrested 60… that have got in our way, impeded us or assaulted an officer."
A spokesperson for the Department of Homeland Security told The Independent that ICE officers had been in the area to arrest a 20-year-old man, originally from Ecuador, who they said entered the US illegally near El Paso, Texas in 2019.
“One agitator ignored multiple commands by an officer to move her vehicle away from the scene, and she was arrested for obstruction. Another agitator assaulted an officer by jumping on his back. Six of these agitators were taken into custody for assaulting law enforcement,” they said.

Officials issue a warning
Following the distressing protest scene and viral video, ICE official Marcos Charles issued a warning to the people who "interfere" with the agency's aggressive actions, in a conversation with FOX News."We will be arresting anybody that interferes or impedes in any of these enforcement actions," he warned. The official also boasted about the number of people who have already been detained. "We've already arrested 60… that have got in our way, impeded us or assaulted an officer."

She was not disabled. There was not disability sticker on her car. She lied when she was dragged out, which she deserved. She is a professional agitator and they trained to lie.Read allPost comment
