- On Jan. 17, Jake Lang led a pro-ICE, anti-Islam rally outside Minneapolis City Hall that was cut short after counterprotesters overwhelmed and chased his group off the street, with Lang claiming he was stabbed and appearing bloodied as he left.
- Amid a federal enforcement surge, more than 2,000 federal officers were deployed across the Twin Cities, intensifying community anger after Renee Good, a U.S. citizen, was shot by an ICE officer on January 7.
- During the confrontation, counterprotesters pelted Lang's group with water balloons and snowballs in near-zero degrees Fahrenheit, then pulled Lang off a Minneapolis City Hall ledge and followed him four blocks to a hotel where he retreated bleeding.

- Beyond the downtown clash, the demonstrations intensified local-federal disputes with lawsuits and subpoenas involving Minneapolis's Somali American community and state officials.
