'This is taking a turn': Minneapolis protest escalates as ICE fires pepper balls

Protesters and federal agents faced off in Minneapolis the morning after an Immigrations and Customs Enforcement agent shot and killed an American woman during a raid in the city.

Multiple videos captured the as-yet-identified ICE agent fire three times into a vehicle driven by 37-year-old Renee Good, who was killed, and federal agents fired pepper balls into a crowd of protesters Thursday morning shortly after day break in a tense confrontation, reported CNN's Ryan Young.

"So this is really taking a turn here," Young said from the scene. "They were blocking the front of this facility, and now these agents have responded by trying to walk in their own cars, and they are starting to use some pepper or tear gas agents to move parts of the crowd. You can hear them saying, 'Shame,' and so this has really just all taken place in the last three minutes or so. So this has taken definitely an escalation. This gate is, one of the gates they were trying to block to stop Border Patrol and ICE agents from getting inside, and then at some point there was a notice to give a clearing, and when that clearing happened, these agents showed up and you see them armed, and that is a less than lethal weapon here that they're shooting pepper balls toward the crowd."

"They've cleared a certain section, but now as you see them, they're sort of retreating back, back toward their main gate here," Young added. "But this is definitely taking more of a offensive stance from the Border Patrol agents. That's happening right in front of us."

Young reported a short time later that one of the protesters had been taken into custody and the network's photographer captured video of the man being placed into handcuffs and led away.
