On January 23, 2026, thousands marched through downtown Minneapolis to protest the actions of federal agents deployed to the city since December. The frigid temperatures, with windchills reaching -30°F, did not deter participants. Among the crowd, an individual wore a bright yellow vest labeled "PEACEFUL OBSERVER DON'T SHOOT," indicating a role intended to de-escalate tensions and ensure safety during the protest.
