Protest underway in Los Angeles outside federal buildings
Protesters gathered outside a strip of federal buildings in downtown Los Angeles Saturday evening as people took to the streets in cities across the United States to demonstrate against immigration operations in the days after an ICE agent shot and killed a woman in Minnesota.
A police helicopter’s search light beamed down on the protesters on Alameda Street, who are outfitted with upside-down American flags and handmade anti-ICE posters.
The street was also the site of clashes between protesters and police in June last year, when crowds gathered to rally against immigration raids and President Donald Trump’s deployment of the National Guard.
Police have blocked off the nearby intersection with squad cars and officers and much of the crowd has dispersed, video reviewed by CNN shows. But a small group of demonstrators appeared unyielding as police tried to usher them away from the buildings.
The Los Angeles Police Department issued a dispersal order along the stretch of Alameda Street where protesters gathered. The department wrote on X on Saturday night, telling demonstrators, “You must leave the area.”
The dispersal order was “in response to protesters engaging in acts of vandalism,” said the LAPD. Approximately 150 protesters had gathered just after 6 p.m. PST, it told CNN.
One person was detained for battery on a police officer after initially fleeing the scene and later returning to the area, the LAPD said on social media.
CNN has reached out to the LAPD for details.

Anti-ICE protesters march in Austin
A group of anti-ICE protesters were seen marching and chanting in downtown Austin, Texas, outside a federal building on Saturday. Several armed law enforcement officials wore helmets and masks and stood outside while holding batons, according to CNN affiliate KEYE.
Demonstrators — some of whom were banging drums — held up a large sign that read: “It’s right to reel against ICE terror.” Other signs said, “Abolish ICE” and “End ICE terrorism.” Some protesters were confronting the officers standing outside the building.
“I’m glad we’re taking to the streets,” one protester, David Whitfield, told KEYE. “I think this is the type of action that we need. We really need people out here right now. I think the turnout could be bigger.”
DHS posts new video that shows three minutes before fatal Minnesota ICE shooting
The Department of Homeland Security posted a new video on X that shows the three minutes and 30 seconds before the fatal shooting of Renee Good in Minneapolis, Minnesota on Wednesday.
The video is shot from a height above street level, and far enough away from Good’s vehicle that any words exchanged by or near Good are inaudible.
In the Saturday post with the three-and-a-half-minute video, DHS claimed without providing evidence that Good was “stalking and impeding a law enforcement operation over the course of the morning.”
The new video shows Good’s vehicle partially blocking the street. Several vehicles stopped on the street behind her appear to belong to federal agents, based on activity observed in other videos.
About 10 seconds in, a small group of people in uniform appear to be gathered a short distance away from her on the street.
Several vehicles are able to pass Good’s car during the video.
About 40 seconds into the video, the camera focuses on Good moving in her vehicle as the sound of honking can be heard, but it’s unclear where the honking is coming from.
About three minutes in, law enforcement sirens start to go off and there are more audible car horns. At 3:11, two vehicles pass Good’s car.
From there, a truck that appears to belong to a federal agent pulls up perpendicular to Good and agents get out of the vehicle. Good appears to be motioning to them with her hands.
The agents then exit the vehicle and the video cuts off right before the deadly shooting.
In pictures: Anti-ICE protests held nationwide
Large crowds were seen marching on Saturday in New York, El Paso, Washington, DC, Boston and other major cities in the United States after an ICE agent fatally shot a woman in Minneapolis.
Anti-ICE protesters gather in front of the White House
Protesters gathered outside the White House to stand against the fatal shooting of a woman by an ICE agent in Minnesota. Many are fearful that a similar incident could happen again and are looking to lawmakers and state officials to pass legislation to reform ICE.

It's 6 p.m. in snowy Minneapolis, and crowds are still demonstrating
The sun has set and snow flurries have started to fall on protesters in Minneapolis still rallying against immigration operations in their city, days after an ICE agent fatally shot a Minnesota woman.
Saturday’s protest has taken many shapes throughout the day, starting at Powderhorn Park, a historic spot for demonstrations, known as the prime gathering place for the 2020 George Floyd protests. After marching through a Minneapolis neighborhood, the large crowd is now gathered on the street where Renee Good was fatally shot Wednesday.
As thousands of demonstrators were seen protesting across the city throughout the day, Minneapolis police said there have been no arrests.
Now, at the site that has become the center of furious debate over the Trump administration’s immigration crackdown, Minnesotans share warm drinks and blankets as they chant for justice in their state.
Protests underway nationwide in response to fatal ICE shooting of Renee Good
A large crowd of protesters is marching through the streets of downtown Los Angeles today, holding up signs reading, “ICE out for good” while chanting in unison, “Trump must go now!”
The demonstration is one of more than 1,000 planned across the country today in the wake of the fatal ICE shooting of Renee Good in Minneapolis, mobilized by the “ICE out for good” national coalition of advocacy groups.
Protesters in Los Angeles were heard voicing their outrage against Immigrations and Customs Enforcement, flashing other signs that said, “Injustice demands resistance” and “Justice for Renee.”
Several other demonstrations have been underway in cities nationwide as large crowds were seen marching in major cities such as Philadelphia, New York and Washington, DC.
Smaller demonstrations were taking place in other locations such as Portland, Oregon; Sacramento, California; Boston, Massachusetts; Denver, Colorado; Durham, North Carolina; and Tempe, Arizona, where protesters lined a bridge overlooking a highway.
Crowd pours into the street for Minneapolis protest march
As more snow covers the ground, hundreds of people are marching on the icy pavement in Minneapolis to protest the fatal ICE shooting of Renee Good.
Repeated chants of Good’s name echoed through Powderhorn Park this afternoon, along with community members’ demands for ICE to leave the city.
Attendees held signs reading, “ICE will melt,” and, “It’s not very pro-life to kill our neighbors,” as they gathered for a rally on the recreational ground, before pouring out into the street and marching through a Minneapolis neighborhood. The crowd stretched for a full block at the height of the march.
This kind of activity isn’t new for Powderhorn Park. The area has a history of being a central hub for demonstrations, notably serving as the prime gathering place for the 2020 George Floyd protests.
Law enforcement is expecting demonstrations to continue here throughout the weekend.

Minneapolis community is experiencing “grief and sadness and anger,” local pastor says
The Minneapolis community is experiencing “grief and sadness and anger,” Rev. Ingrid Rasmussen, the lead pastor at Holy Trinity Lutheran Church, told CNN’s Fredricka Whitfield.
Emotions in the city have been heightened for several months, according to Rasmussen, as an immigration crackdown by Immigration and Customs Enforcement has put the community on edge.
Over the last few days, she said, “it’s been hard to sort of hold onto hope.” But Rasmussen added the community coming together to support each other in ways such as delivering groceries to neighbors and protesting has given her faith.
Authorities fire pepper balls during latest clash outside federal building
Loud bangs rang out and agents fired pepper balls at a crowd of protesters outside a Minneapolis-area federal building a short time ago.
A small group of protesters has been pelting cars with snowballs as they leave the Bishop Henry Whipple Federal Building, where demonstrators have been confronting US Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents during daily protests.
According to CNN’s Omar Jimenez, who is on the scene, the law enforcement presence outside the facility increased significantly after several instances of cars being hit with snow and ice, or protesters trying to block vehicles from leaving the facility.
Jimenez reports that rallies at the Whipple building have been more confrontational than other demonstrations around the city, as the location puts protesters directly across from the federal agents they’re protesting against.
A much larger crowd has gathered for a march and a rally this afternoon at Powderhorn Park, elsewhere in Minneapolis.
Happening now: Huge crowd of protesters is growing at a Minneapolis park
A large crowd is still growing at Powderhorn Park in Minneapolis, with demonstrators gathering again to protest the fatal ICE shooting of Renee Good on Wednesday.
Attendees are gathered outside in the snow, dressed in winter coats and gloves, bracing for the 20-degree weather with signs and props in hand.
Despite January typically being the coldest month for Minneapolis, law enforcement is expecting thousands of protesters to gather throughout the weekend.
Demonstrations have remained largely peaceful. After more than 1,000 people attended a protest downtown yesterday evening, police declared an unlawful assembly around 10 p.m. local time and 29 people were detained, authorities said.
DC protesters call for change following Renee Good’s killing
Protesters gathered in Washington, DC, to condemn the killing of Renee Good in Minneapolis earlier this week by an Immigration and Customs Enforcement agent.
With signs including, “The Trump Fascist Regime MUST GO NOW!!” And “WAKE UP AMERICA,” protesters marched in front of the White House as it rained steadily.
“I’m deeply concerned about the 10th Amendment being downtroddened by this administration and about the lives of common American citizens being endangered by a government that, in my opinion, has gone beyond its law enforcement responsibilities,” said Jack McCarty, a protester who said he is originally from Minnesota.
The 10th Amendment of the Constitution protects states’ rights, and McCarty is calling for state oversight of ICE activity.
When asked by CNN what he believes need to happen to ensure a death like Good’s never happens again, McCarty said, “I think independent accountability and oversight over ICE activities at the state level, in addition to empowering state lawmakers and investigators to be able to hold ICE agents accountable for actions within their state is a step forward to ensuring this tragedy never happens again.”
Another protester, Claudia Schur, joined the march to share her grievances against several Trump administration actions.
“It’s a combination of everything that’s been happening since Trump took office but particularly the invasion of Venezuela and then the murder by an ICE agent in Minneapolis is just, it’s too much,” Schur told CNN.
“There’s no rules anymore, no shame, no integrity,” Schur added while holding a sign that said, “ICE Out.” “It’s just a country I can’t even, I can’t, I don’t recognize.”
Meanwhile, Julia Doherty — who marched alongside Schur — shared concerns about the polarization of the country.
“There’s no sense of community. We’re just so polarized, it’s horrifying,” Doherty said. “And we need to stand up and do whatever we can to, to effect change. Trump is out of control.”
Minneapolis ICE observer responds to Vance's "left-wing network" comments
CNN’s Victor Blackwell spoke with a member of an ICE watch group in Minneapolis, who says she and her colleagues will not stop observing federal agents following the killing of Renee Good.
Vice President JD Vance has said Good was part of a “broader left-wing network” that is interfering with immigration officers and putting them in danger.
Flannery Clark pushed back on that description, saying there is no “vast conspiracy” and that she’s part of a group of neighbors who are looking out for their community.

What Minnesota lawmakers say they saw during their brief time in a federal facility
Democratic Reps. Ilhan Omar, Angie Craig and Kelly Morrison were initially invited into the Bishop Henry Whipple Federal Building near Minneapolis to exercise their congressional oversight duties, according to Omar.
Shortly after being let in, two officials approached the congresswomen and said they had received a message the lawmakers were no longer allowed to be there, Omar said.
The explanation they were given is because the building’s funding, in part, comes from President Donald Trump’s “big, beautiful bill,” Craig said.
Upon entering the facility, Omar said they were able to observe “about 20 people that were being detained there.”
They were told showers were available for detainees, although the congresswomen said they did not see them. Those inside the facility also told the lawmakers detainees are not held there long enough to need hygiene products, “which is insane,” Omar added.
Morrison said the lawmakers were not allowed to speak to the detainees and said she saw no beds for them.
The three representatives have let Immigration and Customs Enforcement, and the Department of Homeland Security know they “were violating federal law,” Craig said.
“This administration continues to use Minnesota as a political stunt. Earlier this week, it got a woman killed,” she added. “It is our job as members of Congress to make sure that those folks detained are treated with humanity because we are the damn United States of America, and we don’t treat people the way that this administration is treating people in our country.”
Police chief says a downtown Minneapolis hotel was damaged during demonstration
Twenty-nine people were detained, cited and released after an overnight anti-ICE protest in downtown Minneapolis, according to police.
The demonstration started peacefully around 7 p.m. local time — “mainly a noise protest,” according to Police Chief Brian O’Hara — outside the Canopy by Hilton Minneapolis Mill District hotel. There were over 1,000 participants, O’Hara said today at a news conference.
The protesters marched on Washington Avenue before some individuals “broke off” from the group and began spraying graffiti and causing damage to the windows of the Depot Renaissance Hotel, O’Hara said.
Demonstrators have been protesting outside hotels where they believe federal agents are staying in the Twin Cities.
Over 200 police officers and state troopers responded to the incident, according to the police chief.
By 1 a.m. the crowd dispersed. One officer suffered minor injuries and 29 people were detained and later released, according to a Minneapolis police spokesperson.
CNN reached out to the Canopy and Depot Renaissance hotels for comment.

Minneapolis mayor describes incident of ICE apprehension leaving a moving car in the middle of a major street
Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey blasted Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s “reckless” actions at a news conference this morning.
Frey described an incident where ICE detained an individual from a car “in the middle of a pretty significant street,” then left the car there without putting it in park.
“This was a car that was rolling down the street that could have hit anybody, including my own family members that live not too far from here,” Frey said. “So, this is not about safety, clearly. If this was about safety, you wouldn’t do stupid things like that. Somebody’s going to get hurt. Somebody has gotten killed.”
Local authorities are getting “dozens and dozens” of 911 calls specifically about immigration enforcement “every single day,” Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O’Hara added.
Minneapolis mayor says "vast majority" of protesters are demonstrating peacefully
The “vast majority” of protesters in Minneapolis are demonstrating peacefully, according to Mayor Jacob Frey.
The mayor said there are “agitators that are trying to rile up large crowds” and claimed that is what President Donald Trump wants.
“We cannot take the bait,” Frey said at a news conference this morning.
To people who have damaged property or caused harm to others during protests, Frey said “we’re not going to let that happen,” adding they would be arrested.
He thanked community members who are trying to calm things down and keep the peace at demonstrations.
The mayor said he saw a video of what he claimed was an “agitator, clearly from the far-right” who was “coming in and trying to rile up the crowd” at a recent demonstration.
“He was trying to make the crowd take the bait so that they would give the authorization — or at least an excuse — to the Trump administration to come in even more,” Frey said.
He said it was “so awesome” to see the crowd ignore the man.
“They were basically blowing him off,” Frey told reporters.
This post has been updated with additional comments from Frey.

Minnesota lawmakers say they were denied access to federal building
After briefly being allowed inside the Bishop Henry Whipple Federal Building in the Minneapolis area, Democratic Reps. Ilhan Omar, Angie Craig and Kelly Morrison say they were denied access.
Omar estimated the group was inside the building for about 10 minutes before being told they needed to leave.
