'They're tackling folks': CNN reporter sprints away on live TV as ICE chases protesters

A CNN reporter sprinted away from ICE officers who chased Minneapolis protesters outside a federal facility on Thursday as the community responded to the fatal shooting of 37-year-old mother Renee Nicole Good.

Protests erupted and tensions mounted as CNN's Omar Jimenez ran down the road as the crowd dispersed after a man reportedly threw a water bottle at federal agents. A group charged toward the suspect and appeared to detain him.

"Obviously, a lot of anger over what happened just yesterday. At this point, we've got a little bit of flare up. They are coming. They're coming towards us right now. Stay up. You're good, you're good," Jimenez said, running back with the crowd during the live broadcast.

"So they're pushing folks back right now. As you can see behind me there, they've deployed some form of crowd repellent just in the last few seconds here," he added. "And look, this has been a lot of what we've seen over the course of the day. Someone just threw a water bottle towards those agents, which really — they're heading into the crowd right now. We are going to back up. They are moving, truly sprinting into the crowd, and they are tackling folks."

Several fights broke out among the agents and protesters. Multiple people were body slammed and detained, CNN reported. Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz announced Thursday that he had authorized the Minnesota National Guard to be on standby to support local law enforcement.
