Minneapolis descended into lawlessness Friday night as anti-ICE protesters turned violent, chasing down Police Chief Brian O’Hara and fellow officers in a disturbing breakdown of public order — all caught on video.
“Minneapolis Police, including Chief Brian O’Hara, were just chased down and attacked by anti-ICE rioters while escorting a squad car out of the protest area,” journalist Julio Rosas posted to X, alongside jaw-dropping FRONTLINES TPUSA footage.
The video shows officers getting pelted with snowballs, with at least one officer shoved by a protester. The police, shockingly, appear to retreat — not engage. No arrests. No consequences. Just officers running while a mob screams obscenities.

“You better f***ing run!” protesters yell, followed by more expletive-laced taunts like “p***ies!” and “f*** you!” as police back away from the chaos.
The outrage follows the fatal shooting of Renee Nicole Good — now being seized upon by radical anti-ICE activists as a rallying cry. Demonstrations are expected to erupt across the country.
But federal authorities are not backing down.
“This was an act of domestic terrorism by an anti-ICE agitator,” the Department of Homeland Security said. “In a split-second decision, our ICE officer acted dutifully to save his own life and the lives of his fellow officers.”

Footage taken by the ICE officer reportedly shows Good being encouraged by her wife to defy officers’ orders. In a heartbreaking moment, Good’s wife is later heard saying, “I made her come down here. It’s my fault.”
Chief O’Hara has called the deadly encounter “entirely predictable,” citing ongoing tensions around ICE enforcement and a need for de-escalation. But with police fleeing their own streets and rioters emboldened, the question is: who’s really in charge?
