#Federal officers in fatigues, including #BorderPatrol special response teams, are positioned in a line outside the Federal building in #Minneapolis, trying to move #protesters.
While some agents interacting with protesters were seen trying to use deescalation, other agents were heard having conversations antagonizing the protesters, telling them to “bring it if they want to bring it,” & using their body to physically push people down to the ground, CNN’s Ryan Young reported from the scene.
@Nonilex you can just call a gas like substance a gas…
A standoff between #protesters & #federal agents at the parking lot entrance of the Bishop Henry Whipple Federal building is underway—with agents deploying a #gas-like substance, a CNN team on scene experienced.
In an attempt to move protesters, agents deployed the substance, which CNN’s Ryan Young was on the receiving end of.
As smoke filled the air, protesters could be heard coughing & gasping for breath, in video.

#BorderPatrol agents seen at a #protest near #Minneapolis, #Minnesota, appear to be a mix of the agency’s special response team and its Border Patrol Tactical Unit, also known as #BORTAC.
BORTAC agents are *generally* “trained” in crowd control & crowd dispersion, as well as other tactics to protect property. #PepperSpray & #TearGas canisters are among tools agents have used for crowd control.

@Nonilex all these “border patrol” agents being very far from the border, almost as if they are doing some other job…
Similar #BorderPatrol teams have been previously deployed to various “civil unrest” incidents, including Portland in 2020.
To be clear, this #protest has been 100% #peaceful on the side of the protesters. Only the #federal “agents” have used force.

@Nonilex even after the govt ice agents committed murder in plain sight, the protestors have been non violent
