Minneapolis schools cancel classes after Border Patrol clash disrupts dismissal at RooseveltThe guy, Im telling him like, Please step off the school grounds, and this dude comes up and bumps into me and then tells me that I pushed him, and hes trying to push me, and he knocked me down, a school official, who spoke to MPR News on condition of anonymity said.
They dont care. Theyre just animals, the official added. Ive never seen people behave like this.
The school leader said armed officers with apparent Border Patrol insignia on their uniforms arrived at a street near the school in several SUV vehicles during dismissal on Wednesday afternoon. They broke out the window of a vehicle.
Theres a car that got hit. I dont know how it got hit. They broke out the window, the school official said. Then different Neighborhood Watch, people, everybody, people, the staff in the school came out. And then they started coming on the property of the school and pushing people and tackling people and shooting pepper spray and pepper balls. And they handcuffed two of our employees.
Video shared with MPR News show armed, masked officers with apparent Border Patrol insignia on their uniforms dragging a person on a sidewalk outside of the high school and tussling with another person as bystanders blow whistles and shout.
