Federal agents deploy tear gas at Park Ave & 35th St, Minneapolis

Federal agents, identified as BORTAC, deploy tear gas and pepper spray at Park Avenue and 35th Street in Minneapolis on January 12, 2026. This incident occurred two blocks from where ICE agents had fatally shot Renee Good on January 7, 2026. The confrontation involved federal agents ramming a vehicle and demanding identification from a Latino man, who stated he was released upon proving his U.S. citizenship. The use of force by federal agents, including BORTAC, in urban environments has become a point of contention, particularly in relation to immigration enforcement and civil liberties.
