U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi says 16 people were arrested in Minneapolis for allegedly assaulting federal agents amid ongoing protests tied to immigration enforcement.
U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi announced on Wednesday that federal agents had arrested 16 people in Minneapolis tied to anti-ICE protests.
Bondi, who was on the ground in the city, posted on X:
“MINNESOTA ARRESTS — I am on the ground in Minneapolis today. Federal agents have arrested 16 Minnesota rioters for allegedly assaulting federal law enforcement — people who have been resisting and impeding our federal law enforcement agents. We expect more arrests to come.”
She emphasized that nothing will stop President Donald Trump and the Department of Justice from enforcing the law.
Bondi listed the names of those arrested on federal charges of assaulting, resisting, or impeding federal officers: Christina Rank, Abdikadir Noor, Madeline Tschida, Nitzana Flores, Helicity Borowska, Quentin Williams, William Vermie, Paul Johnson, Gillian Etherington, Joshua Doyle, Kirubele Adbebe, Margaret Sager, Ilan Wilson-Soler, Nasra Ahmed, Alice Valentine, and Matrim Charlebois.
The Attorney General also shared photos of unidentified individuals posing with Homeland Security Investigations officers, showing the scope of federal involvement in the city.
The arrests come amid heightened tensions in Minneapolis, where stepped-up federal immigration enforcement has sparked protests and increased scrutiny of clashes between demonstrators and federal agents.
Bondi’s statement underscores the Justice Department’s commitment to ongoing law enforcement efforts, even as community members and activists raise concerns about civil liberties and enforcement tactics in the city.
