US – Minnesota: Protesters Drive Away Far-Right Group as Trump Calls for Military Readiness

Minnesota is experiencing intense protests against the US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) following the killing of a 37-year-old woman and the shooting and wounding of a Venezuelan immigrant. In a recent incident, protesters drove away a group of far-right activists who attempted to march in an area with many immigrants. Police report that protesters threw water balloons at the far-right group, forcing them to retreat. At the same time, the Pentagon ordered the preparation of 1,500 soldiers in Alaska for possible deployment to Minneapolis, following a request from Donald Trump, who has been criticized for his immigration policies.
