"I see these people being dragged in the street, I see masked people coming up demanding papers, I see a guy sitting in a gas station parking lot and ICE officers breaking the window and then dragging him out and putting their knee on his back. I just, again, we went to law school, we practiced law. This looks like Russia! It really does."
"This looks like something that you would expect in Russia that protesters this is happening to protesters, not suspected murderers are rapists this is what America looks like in [2026] for protesters. We always looked at what happened to the Soviet Union and looked at what happened in Putin's Russia and saw this happening to protesters. They're being taken off the streets thinking, oh my god, how could that ever happen in society?"
Videos show ICE agents arresting protesters and smashing car windows in Minneapolis after additional federal officers were deployed following the fatal shooting of Renee Good and an operational surge tied to President Donald Trump's mass deportation policy. Masked officers are seen demanding papers, breaking vehicle windows, dragging people from cars, placing a knee on a detainee's back, and cuffing individuals. The forceful tactics are directed at protesters rather than violent suspects. The imagery and actions are compared to police behavior in Putin's Russia and to repressive measures associated with the Soviet Union.
