In the latest attempt to disrupt federal immigration enforcement efforts in Minneapolis, protesters have resorted to using dildos to impede law enforcement. Authorities say the protesters have thrown dildos at government vehicles, used them to penetrate fences, and even stuck them to cars, but these tactics have had little impact as ICE continues to arrest and deport violent criminal illegal immigrants from the area.

Why it matters

The use of dildos by protesters highlights the increasingly bizarre and futile tactics being employed to try to obstruct federal immigration operations in Minneapolis. While the protesters may view this as a symbolic act, law enforcement has maintained its focus on removing dangerous criminals from the community, undeterred by the dildo-throwing antics.

The details

According to reports, the protesters have been using dildos in a variety of ways to try to impede law enforcement, including throwing them at passing government vehicles, using them to penetrate chain-link fences, and even sticking them to the sides of cars. However, despite these efforts, ICE has continued its operations, arresting and deporting over 4,000 illegal immigrants, mostly violent criminals, from the Minneapolis area.

  • In 2015, students at the University of Texas at Austin protested the ability to carry concealed weapons on campus by organizing a 'Campus DILDO Carry' event.
  • Over the past 11 years, similar dildo-based protests have emerged in Minneapolis as part of the ongoing efforts to disrupt federal immigration enforcement in the city.
