Anti-ICE protest turns chaotic

Anti-ICE protestors on Saturday (Feb 7) embraced a new, chaotic style of protest against US President Donald Trump's immigration crackdown in Minneapolis. Dissenters were seen hurling an array of objects, including sex toys, chunks of ice and bottles at federal agents, as the US state marked one month since Renee Good, a mother of three, was shot dead by an ICE agent. The unruly protest prompted a police declaration of unlawful assembly. Scroll down for some striking photos from the protest.

Vehicles damaged

Passing vehicles containing ICE agents and even Hennepin County Sheriff's Office deputies were not spared from the deluge of dildos. In a statement, the Sheriff's office said that protestors also threw ice chunks at the vehicles, causing damage.

"While many individuals are peacefully protesting, some agitators have engaged in unlawful behaviour, including damaging property and throwing ice chunks. A deputy was struck in the head, and a squad vehicle windshield was broken," stated the sheriff's office. "This is not the first time our vehicles have been damaged at this location."

Why did protestors use sex toys?

It remains unclear why the protestors used dildos to protest ICE; however, as per posts on X, Saturday's protest was organised under the informal name "Operation Dildo Blitz". Videos circulating online show protestors distributing the sex toys out of sacks.

A meme-worthy spectacle

Potentially, the use of sex toys was meant to create a chaotic, meme-worthy spectacle that would spread online and embarrass authorities. In the aftermath, deputies were seen picking up armfuls of the toys and tossing them back over fences, while protesters laughed at and mocked them.
