Drummer performs with drum kit during anti-ICE protest demonstration in Minneapolis.

A drummer performs with a drum kit outside a building with a brick facade. This image was taken during a protest in downtown Minneapolis where hundreds of demonstrators gathered to oppose the actions of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). The protest, described as a "noise demo," targeted a hotel believed to be housing ICE agents. Authorities, including the Minnesota Conservation Officers, Minnesota State Patrol, and Minneapolis Police, declared the assembly unlawful and dispersed the crowd.
