On January 18, 2026, hundreds of anti-ICE protesters in Minneapolis, Minnesota, confronted and dispersed a small group of far-right demonstrators led by Jake Lang. Lang, who was pardoned for his involvement in the January 6th insurrection, organized an "anti-fraud" rally near City Hall, promoting anti-Islam, anti-Somali, and pro-ICE sentiments. The counter-protest occurred amid heightened tensions in the city following the death of a local woman by a federal agent and the shooting of a Venezuelan immigrant. While Lang claimed to have been stabbed during a scuffle, police stated that no official reports of injuries related to the protests were filed. The protests are part of ongoing demonstrations against increased immigration enforcement in the Twin Cities.
