In objection to perceived harsh tactics by masked ICE agents, the protesters have donned masks and begun pummeling hapless citizens who wander too close.

"This will teach them to be more civil," said local protester Dani Markham, as she dragged a random old man out of his car. "We're going to stand up to these ICE goons by beating this old man within an inch of his life. Bite the curb, old-timer. No more violence in Minneapolis!"

According to witnesses, Antifa groups have begun assaulting anyone driving an SUV, wearing camouflage, or with a rental car showing a license plate from a different state. "When they hit these people over the head with a shovel, it's really making a strong statement that violence is never the answer," said local organizer Sherri Womack. "Minneapolis will never let ICE get away with these Gestapo-like tactics. That is why we are going to rove the streets with our identities hidden, demanding people swear fealty to our cause, and brutally thrash anyone who refuses."

At publishing time, the Antifa had begun attacking all white males to protest ICE targeting people from certain countries.
