There were large protests in Minneapolis this week. People are angry about a federal police operation involving ICE. This happened after agents killed a man in the city. A reporter saw the situation become dangerous on the street. Police used loud flash bangs and smoke to move the crowd back. The air became hard to breathe, and people ran away coughing. Politicians are arguing about who is to blame. Vice President JD Vance visited the city. He said the violence happens because local police and federal agents do not work together well. However, local leaders disagree. They said 15,000 people protested peacefully yesterday without breaking any windows. They want the federal operation to stop immediately. They believe these agents are not making the city safe.
