Crowd yells ‘cowards!’ after federal agents crash into a car and fire tear gas in Minneapolis
January 12, 2026
Federal officers in Minneapolis have fired tear gas to break up a crowd of whistle-blowing bystanders who showed up to see the aftermath of a car crash involving immigration agents. The scene Monday was just a few blocks from where an immigration officer fatally shot Renee Good last week. A crowd emerged to witness a man being questioned by agents who rear-ended his car. Agents used tear gas to try to break up the group, then drove off as people screamed, “cowards!” Minnesota’s attorney general and the mayors of Minneapolis and St. Paul plan to address the media about the immigration operation.
