Austin Police charge into crowd of anti-ICE agitators, multiple detained
Austin Police have detained at least three anti-ICE agitators as protests escalate in Texas.
Police on bikes were seen charging into a crowd of agitators near the intersection of S Congress and E 6th streets following a protest at the J.J. Pickle Federal Building.
"We're with you," protesters could be heard shouting to one handcuffed agitator.
Texas Gov. Greg Abbott said in a statement late Saturday that the Texas Department of Public Safety was “not putting up with defiant protesters.”
A spokesperson for the department said Saturday evening that crowd management teams were deployed in Austin to maintain public order and ensure public safety during the protests.
“We support and respect the public’s First Amendment right to peacefully assemble and express their views,” the spokesperson, Lt. Chris Olivarez, wrote on X. “However, violence, threats to the public or law enforcement, obstruction of roadways, and damage to property will not be tolerated.”
Olivarez added that the department remains committed to protecting both people and property.
The Texas Department of Public Safety did not immediately respond to inquiries from Fox News Digital.
Trump's border czar defends ICE agents enforcing the law: 'They don't choose who gets deported'
Trump's Border Czar Tom Homan weighed in on the criticism of U.S. Customs and Immigration Enforcement (ICE) following recent shootings involving agents, including the deadly shooting of Renee Good in Minneapolis.
In a post on X, Homan stated that ICE agents are simply doing their "constitutional duty" by enforcing federal immigration laws that have been in place for decades.
"ICE conducts targeted operations to enforce federal immigration laws that have existed for decades, and they do it with the utmost professionalism," he wrote. "They don’t choose who gets deported, the law and federal judges do. They didn’t pass the laws nor can they change them. If you don’t like the laws, take it up with Congress. That’s their constitutional duty…ours is enforcing them."
Homan's comments come as protests against ICE erupted Saturday across the United States following the agent-involved shootings in Minneapolis and Portland in the past week.
LAPD officers in riot gear respond to protest at Metropolitan Detention Center in Los Angeles

The Los Angeles Police Department arrested multiple people Saturday evening after responding in riot gear to a protest outside the Metropolitan Detention Center.
Multiple arrests were made after a dispersal order was issued and protesters refused to leave the area as instructed, according to LAPD. Multiple agitators were seen on video being detained just before 7 p.m. local time.
A dispersal order was issued at about 6:15 p.m. for Alameda, from Aliso to Temple, which includes Commercial Street, according to the LAPD.
"You must leave the area," police wrote in a statement on X.
Vance says ICE arrests in Minnesota are ‘critical to national security’
Vice President JD Vance reacted to a newly released list of criminal illegal immigrants recently arrested by ICE in Minnesota, calling the arrests “critical to national security.”
“Arresting and deporting these people is absolutely critical to national security,” he wrote on X. “National democrats are going to get our law enforcement killed if they don't stop lying about this issue and the people working to keep us safe.”
On Saturday, ICE officials released a “worst of the worst” list naming criminal illegal immigrants who were recently arrested in the sanctuary state of Minnesota, including child rapists and nearly a dozen killers.
The criminal illegal immigrants were roaming freely in Minnesota before they were apprehended, ICE told Fox News on Saturday, adding that they are the type of people Democratic politicians and activists are referring to as their “neighbors” as they attempt to interfere with ICE operations.
"Regardless of staged political theatrics, ICE is going to continue to arrest the worst of the worst criminal illegal aliens in Minnesota and elsewhere," ICE Director Todd M. Lyons wrote in a statement on Saturday. "Some of these criminal aliens have had final orders of removal for 30 years, but they’ve been free to terrorize Minnesotans.”

Franklin Graham blasts ‘radical socialist left’ behind nationwide protests
Franklin Graham, a prominent evangelist and son of famed preacher Billy Graham, asserted Saturday that recent demonstrations across the country were “underpinned by the radical socialist left” and aimed at destroying America.
“Have you seen the reports of protesters—or paid agitators—chanting unbelievable things like, ‘Save a life, kill ICE!’ or ‘Kristi Noem will hang?’ Graham wrote on X. “The protests we see across the country right now are underpinned by the radical socialist left, whose goal is to make the United States like Venezuela, ultimately destroying the America we know.”
“Lying, stealing, cheating—nothing is out of bounds in order to grab power,” he continued. “Unfortunately, many people joining these protests have no clue that they are just being used as pawns.”
Graham said that God was the “only hope for America,” and encouraged people to pray for the nation’s political leaders, including President Donald Trump and Vice President JD Vance.
Anti-ICE demonstrations erupted across the U.S. Saturday following the death of 37-year-old Renee Nicole Good, who was shot Wednesday by an ICE agent in Minneapolis.

SBA relocates Minneapolis district office due to 'overwhelming local hostility' toward ICE
U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) Administrator Kelly Loeffler announced on Saturday that following the fatal ICE shooting of 37-year-old Renee Nicole Good, the SBA would be relocating its Minneapolis district office.
"Following the events of this week, and the overwhelming local hostility toward Immigration and Customs Enforcement, I have ordered @SBAgov to begin relocation of our agency’s Minneapolis district office," Loeffler wrote in a statement posted on X.
"Since Day One, I have been clear that SBA will not continue to surge resources to communities that refuse to protect their small business owners by impeding this Administration’s efforts to deport and detain criminal illegal aliens," she continued. "We will relocate our offices to cities that comply with federal law - and take seriously their responsibility to promote public safety on Main Street."
New video shows Renee Good dancing, repeatedly beeping car horn minutes before fatal ICE shooting
Renee Nicole Good, who was fatally shot Wednesday while allegedly obstructing an ICE operation, was seen in newly surfaced video repeatedly honking her car horn and dancing to the noise minutes before the shooting.
Footage shows ICE vehicles attempting to drive down the street, with police lights and sirens activated, as Good's SUV blocked the road for more than three minutes.
The video ended as ICE agents got out of their pickup truck, approached the SUV, and gunfire rang out.
White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt shared the video on X, calling Good a "leftist insurrectionist."
"Remember when the media called Abrego Garcia an innocent 'Maryland Man,' when he was actually an illegal alien, human trafficker, wife beater, and gang member?" Leavitt wrote in a post. "Minnesota is a different case, but the legacy media is running the same playbook. This woman was not 'an innocent mother dropping off her child at school.' She was a leftist insurrectionist who was purposefully and illegally obstructing law enforcement operations. More evidence here."
The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) also shared the video, alleging Good was "stalking and imeding" law enforcement.
"The media continues to fail the American people in their reporting on the events in Minneapolis," DHS wrote in an X post. "New evidence shows that the anti-ICE agitator was STALKING and IMPEDING a law enforcement operation over the course of the morning. The evidence speaks for itself."
The White House and DHS did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital's request for comment regarding the timing of when shots were fired.

Noem says Laken Riley would have turned 24 Saturday: 'We can never bring Laken back'
Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem posted on social media Saturday in honor of Georgia nursing student Laken Riley, who was murdered by a Venezuelan illegal immigrant on Feb. 22, 2024.
"Today would have been Laken Riley’s 24th birthday," Noem wrote in an X post. "Immediately upon coming into office, President Trump signed the Laken Riley Act to restore commonsense to our broken immigration system. We can never bring Laken back, but we can do everything in our power to bring these heinous criminals to justice."
Jose Ibarra, 27, was found guilty and sentenced to life in prison after attacking and killing Riley, 22, as she was jogging near Lake Herrick on the University of Georgia campus.
Prosecutors said Ibarra saw Riley running along a popular trail on campus and dragged her 64 feet into a wooded area and beat her head with a rock repeatedly, killing her.
Ibarra entered the U.S. illegally during the Biden administration through El Paso, Texas, in September 2022 and was released into the country via parole.
He was arrested by the New York City Police Department in August 2023 and charged with "acting in a manner to injure a child less than 17" and a motor vehicle license violation, before moving to Georgia.
ICE arrests in Minnesota surge include numerous convicted child rapists, killers

ICE officials on Saturday released a shocking list of the "worst of the worst" criminal illegal immigrants arrested during their recent surge in the sanctuary state of Minnesota, including numerous child rapists and nearly a dozen killers.
ICE told Fox News the criminal illegal immigrants were roaming freely in Minnesota prior to their recent arrest, and that they are the type of people Democratic politicians and activists are referring to as their "neighbors," as they attempt to interfere with ICE.
One of the "worst of the worst" criminal illegal immigrants arrested in Minnesota is Sriudorn Phaivan, a Laotian illegal immigrant, who was convicted of strong-arm sodomy of a boy and strong-arm sodomy of a girl. Phaivan has had a deportation order since 2018.
Another Laotian illegal immigrant, Chong Vue, was convicted of the strong-arm rape of a 12-year-old girl, and kidnapping a child with intent to sexually assault her. Vue has had a deportation order since 2004.
One of the convicted killers, Gilberto Salguero Landaverde, a Salvadoran illegal immigrant, was convicted of three counts of homicide and has had a deportation order since June 2025.

DHS says dem reps led protesters to Minneapolis ICE facility to 'hunt down' agents

The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) shot back at Democratic lawmakers on Saturday, claiming their goal in visiting the Minneapolis ICE facility was to "hunt down" agents.
"On January 10, Representatives Ilhan Omar, Angie Craig, and Kelly Morrison led a group of protestors to the Minneapolis ICE facility, the morning after a mob of violent rioters attacked, broke into, and destroyed parts of several hotels in downtown Minneapolis, with the explicit goal of 'hunting down' ICE officers who they believed may have been staying there," DHS assistant secretary Tricia Mclaughlin wrote in a statement to Fox News Digital.
Mclaughlin said that for the safety of detainees and staff, and in compliance with the agency’s mandate, the members of Congress were notified that their visit was improper and out of compliance with existing court orders and policies which mandate that members of Congress must notify ICE at least seven days in advance of Congressional visits.
"Because they were out of compliance with this mandate, Representative Omar and her colleagues were denied entry to the facility," she said. "If Congresswoman Omar and her colleagues with to tour these facilities, then they must follow the proper guidelines."
After being denied entry to the regional ICE headquarters at the Bishop Henry Whipple Federal Building in Minneapolis, Craig claimed officials were "rejecting our appeal as duly-elected members of Congress from the state of Minnesota, from observing the detention center."
"The response was that because the funding for this center came from the One Big, Beautiful Bill, not a congressional appropriations bill, that they were denying our access," Craig said. "We have every right and responsibility if we're doing our jobs to be here today to see what the conditions are in that detention center, we are going to continue to show up."
Omar added the group "did make a phone call" before showing up, but were turned away after initial entry into the building.
"We are seeing ICE pick up people, not allowing them to have access to their attorneys, to their family members, not allowing access to information that their family members could provide," Omar said. "We've also seen them being denied the ability to contact their members of Congress so that we can liaison and get the proper information that is needed and give comfort to their families of their whereabouts. This hasn't happened before."

Ahead of anti-ICE planned DC demonstration, US Park Police give stern warning

The U.S. Park Police said Saturday that, “The public should stay aware of their surroundings, follow local laws, and listen to instructions from law enforcement officers and emergency services” as anti-ICE demonstrations are beginning in Washington, D.C.
“In keeping with Operational Security (OPSEC) principles, the U.S. Park Police does not release specific information about deployment plans, security postures, or tactical operations,” the agency said. “Limiting such disclosures helps prevent the inadvertent release of sensitive details that could undermine public safety, officer safety, or the effectiveness of ongoing operations.”
“We can confirm that the U.S. Park Police maintains a comprehensive and flexible security strategy,” it added. “This strategy is continuously developed and implemented in close partnership with our interagency counterparts to ensure a coordinated and effective approach to public safety.”
Minneapolis officer hit with chunk of ice as 29 arrested in demonstrations, police chief says

Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O’Hara said Saturday that 29 people were arrested overnight during anti-ICE demonstrations in downtown Minneapolis.
“It was well over a thousand individuals, we believe that we're assembled there. And as those individuals broke off from the crowd, we had some other marches that then continued downtown. Ultimately, by 1 a.m., all of these individuals were either dispersed or placed under arrest. There were 29 arrests last night. We are aware of one police officer that was injured from a chunk of ice that was thrown at them,” O’Hara said.
“Obviously, there's a number of additional marches and protests that we will be monitoring today, and we are fully prepared if things cross the line and become unlawful to make additional arrests if necessary," he added.
“I also want to acknowledge that the vast majority of people have protested peacefully,” Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey said. “And to the few that have caused damage to property and or harm to others, I need to be very clear. We're not going to let that happen. If you cause damage to property, or put others in danger, you're going to be arrested.”
O’Hara told reporters Saturday, “Last night at about 7 p.m., there was a gathering outside the Canopy hotel in downtown Minneapolis. That gathering began as all the other gatherings around hotels had been conducted over the last several days, largely peaceful.
“Mainly a noise protest that was occurring, trying to disrupt the activities at the hotel. Unfortunately, that changed last night,” O’Hara said. “Individuals at the Canopy then began marching on Washington Avenue towards The Depot and the Renaissance Hotel. While they were there, some individuals broke off from that group, and in the rear, they caused some damage to that hotel. Damage to some of the windows and some graffiti damage.”
“They then returned, to the Canopy hotel, where the Minneapolis Police Department responded with well over 200 police officers,” he also said. “We initiated a plan and took our time to de-escalate the situation."
Ilhan Omar, other House Dems seen at federal building in Minneapolis, demand entry

Rep. Ilhan Omar and Rep. Angie Craig, both Democrats from Minnesota, showed up at the Bishop Henry Whipple Federal Building in Minneapolis on Saturday and demanded entry.
A source told Fox News that they have been escorted into the building.
Craig later said outside the facility that, "They told us that we are not allowed in the building, that they were rejecting our appeal as duly-elected members of Congress from the state of Minnesota, from observing the detention center."
"The response was that because the funding for this center came from the One Big, Beautiful Bill, not a congressional appropriations bill, that they were denying our access," she continued. "We have every right and responsibility if we're doing our jobs to be here today to see what the conditions are in that detention center, we are going to continue to show up."
"It was our understanding that we were led in, by the former acting director that allowed us in, he was in that position up until two days ago," Omar said. "And, you know, we did make a phone call before we came here, to give him a heads up that we were coming, did facilitate our entry into the building. And then ten minutes or so later, as we were making our way into the actual detention center where people were being detained, we were told that we had to come back out, because his higher-ups had made a phone call to him saying that we are no longer allowed to be in the building, and that an explanation would be provided to us once we got upstairs."
"We are seeing ICE pick up people, not allowing them to have access to their attorneys, to their family members, not allowing access to information that their family members could provide," Omar added. "We've also seen them being denied the ability to contact their members of Congress so that we can liaison and get the proper information that is needed and give comfort to their families of their whereabouts. This hasn't happened before."
"There is no freedom when you are being detained and your government is being turned against you. This should be appalling to everyone," Omar also said.
"In Minnesota, we know how to protect one another. And I have been incredibly, incredibly proud the way our neighbors have shown up for one another. It's been beautiful to see. And that kind of resistance is why ICE agents seem so angry and agitated, because they have never experienced the kind of love that we experienced here in Minnesota, and we know that they are going to disappear one day, but we will be here caring for one another and carrying out policy with love here in Minnesota," Omar declared.
Rep. Kelly Morrison, D-Minn., also was at the scene on Saturday.

Video captures Minneapolis agitators trying to breach downtown hotel
Footage has captured a mob in downtown Minneapolis trying to breach a hotel where they reportedly believed U.S. Immigration and Customs (ICE) agents were staying.
Unrest has been brewing in the Minnesota city following Wednesday’s ICE-involved shooting of Renee Nicole Good.
Fox News correspondent Garrett Tenney reported that a small group of the demonstrators on Friday had broken into The Depot in downtown Minneapolis and were tossing around furniture inside while others were spray-painting anti-ICE messages on windows.
Outside, the agitators were playing instruments, banging drums and blowing whistles to prevent immigration agents from sleeping and getting rest, according to Fox News correspondent Matt Finn.
The Minnesota Department of Public Safety later said, “Minnesota State Patrol Mobile Response Team and members of the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources are assisting Minneapolis police with the arrest of people for unlawful assembly.”
