State troopers and conservation officers arrest protesters in Minneapolis during a snowstorm.

State officers, including Minnesota State Patrol and Conservation Officers, made approximately 15-20 arrests in downtown Minneapolis during a snowstorm. The arrests followed a protest targeting a hotel believed to be housing Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents. This event occurred amidst ongoing national discussions and local activism surrounding immigration policies and ICE operations.
