During an anti-ICE protest in Minneapolis, demonstrators were caught on video attacking a driver they mistook for an opponent, pelting his truck with sex toys even as he repeatedly shouted that he was on their side. The bizarre incident occurred outside the Bishop Henry Whipple Federal Building, where protesters had gathered to voice opposition to ongoing immigration raids in the city.

Why it matters

The incident highlights the growing tensions and chaotic nature of the protests against ICE operations in Minneapolis, which have continued for weeks following the deaths of two individuals during encounters with immigration agents. The use of sex toys as a protest tactic also reflects a broader theme that has emerged during the unrest, with adult retailers becoming unexpected symbols of resistance.

The details

Protesters were first seen hurling sex toys over fencing at the federal building, where officers later collected the discarded objects from the street. The confrontation escalated when the demonstrators mistook a driver with anti-ICE signs in his truck for an opponent, slamming what appeared to be dildos onto his vehicle even as he repeatedly insisted he supported their cause. At one point, a protester ripped a sign from the driver's hands, prompting him to protest. It was only toward the end of the 32-second video clip that other protesters stepped in to signal to the crowd that the driver was on their side, and the confrontation began to de-escalate.

  • The protest took place on February 7, 2026, one month after the death of Renee Good.
  • Three weeks after Good's death, VA nurse Alex Pretti was killed during a separate encounter with immigration agents.
