A U.S. Border Patrol agent attempts to gain entry into a white van by breaking its window during a pursuit in Minneapolis. The van, which was involved in an operation by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), managed to evade capture despite the agent's efforts. This incident occurred during "Operation Metro Surge," a targeted enforcement operation conducted by ICE in the Minneapolis area.
