It should have just been a routine arrest, but within minutes the air of southern Minneapolis was thick with pepper spray, tear gas and snowballs.
The pepper spray and tear gas was being fired by immigration agents, who had been cornered by dozens of protesters. One of them radioed the county sheriff in a panic, claiming they were being attacked.
The snowballs were being flung by the demonstrators, outraged by what one of them described to The Telegraph as the officers’ heavy-handed tactics as they arrested at least two people.
