CAIR leads anti-ICE protest outside office of Tim Walz at Minnesota state capitol
The anti-ICE demonstrators are targeting Democratic Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz for protest after another shooting involving federal agents.
Videos on social media showed dozens of protesters outside of his office at the Minnesota state capitol chanting for the arrest of officers involved in two prominent and lethal shootings.
‘ICE came to Minnesota to target our communities, and what they found in Minnesota is their coffin, the end of ICE!’
A post on social media indicated that the Council on American-Islamic Relations in Minnesota had organized the rally. CAIR described the protest as a “peaceful rally calling for charges and arrest of killer ICE agents.”
The post included the image of Renee Good, who was shot and killed by a federal agent after she struck him with her vehicle. It also had an image of Alex Pretti, who died in a shooting from federal agents when he intervened in an operation while carrying a gun.
In one video posted to social media by an editor of the Times, protesters chant, “What do we want? ICE out! When do we want it? Now!” He indicated that Walz was not in the office at the time of the protest.

A livestream video of the event indicated that the protest outside of Walz’s office lasted about 15 minutes.
“ICE came to Minnesota to target our communities, and what they have found in Minnesota is their coffin, the end of ICE!” said Jaylani Hussein, the executive director for CAIR-Minnesota.

Sundance VIPs take 10-minute protest break in between screenings
What one report called “arguably the shortest of protests in recent memory” rocked the Sundance Film Festival for about 10 minutes on Sunday evening, as around 100 people gathered in Park City to voice their opposition to the ICE raids in Minnesota.
The diminutive demonstration echoed statements made by big-name festival attendees like Edward Norton and Olivia Wilde
‘Turn on your phone light for a minute or two.’
‘Melt’ down
Actress Natasha Lyonne posted a promotional flyer for the event, called “Sundancers Melt Ice,” which read, “Join us tonight to remember Alex Pretti and Renee Good” and “quietly register our collective protest.”
Pretti was recently shot and killed by federal agents during a violent scrum, while Good was shot and killed by an ICE agent as she hit him with her car.
“Turn on your phone light for a minute or two,” the flyer added. “Silent, respectful, together.”
Chants encounter
The 10-minute event included protesters chanting “Love melts Ice! Love melts Ice!” according to Deadline, which noted that actor Elijah Wood (“Lord of the Rings”) turned out to offer his support.
“The folks who have been unlawfully gunned down in Minnesota — it’s awful,” Wood said.
“Here we are at this film festival that is about bringing people together; it’s about telling stories from all over the world. We’re not divided here; we’re coming together,” he continued.

Sign decline
The film festival is no stranger to progressive protests; in 2024, demonstrators flooded the streets of the small town to protest on behalf of Palestine, holding signs like “stop the genocide” and “end the occupation.”
“Ceasefire, now!” was chanted by the group, followed by “Free Palestine!”
In 2017, Sundance saw what is recognized as likely the largest protest to take place in Park City, when between 5,000 and 7,000 showed up on Main Street for a “Women’s March on Main,” the day after President Trump was inaugurated for his first term.
