Tensions are flaring in the #Minneapolis area, as #protesters & “law enforcement” clash after an #ICE agent fatally shot a woman yesterday.

A standoff between #protesters & #federal agents at the parking lot entrance of the Bishop Henry Whipple Federal building is underway—with agents deploying a #gas-like substance, a CNN team on scene experienced.

In an attempt to move protesters, agents deployed the substance, which CNN’s Ryan Young was on the receiving end of.

As smoke filled the air, protesters could be heard coughing & gasping for breath, in video.

#Federal officers in fatigues, including #BorderPatrol special response teams, are positioned in a line outside the Federal building in #Minneapolis, trying to move #protesters.

While some agents interacting with protesters were seen trying to use deescalation, other agents were heard having conversations antagonizing the protesters, telling them to “bring it if they want to bring it,” & using their body to physically push people down to the ground, CNN’s Ryan Young reported from the scene.
