Police in suburban Minneapolis took 24 people into custody Monday evening outside a hotel where Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers were believed to be staying.
The Maple Grove Police Department said some protesters “engaged in unlawful behavior,” including damaging property and throwing objects at officers. Police ordered the crowd to disperse, and those who remained were detained. Police said charges ranged from unlawful assembly to rioting. Officials said they would provide more details on the type of charges at a later time.
Hotels believed to house ICE agents have been frequent targets of protesters, who use whistles and other noisemakers in an effort to disrupt agents’ sleep. Video from outside the SpringHill Suites showed dozens of people banging pots and pans, beating drums and using other noisemakers.
Maple Grove police said the department has not been involved in immigration enforcement activities. However, local police agencies have responded to anti-ICE protests.
