ICE agents pepper spray students and handcuff staff at Roosevelt High School hours after Good shooting
Hours after ICE agent Jonathan Ross fatally shot Renee Nicole Good, federal agents descended on Roosevelt High School in Minneapolis. Video and photographs showed agents handcuffing school staff members and deploying pepper spray and pepper balls at students. A school official confirmed to MPR News that agents wearing US Border Patrol uniforms pepper sprayed students. The Minneapolis Federation of Educators alleged agents 'abducted' a school staff member who was assisting with safe dismissal. U.S. Border Patrol Commander Gregory Bovino was seen at the scene. DHS claimed a crowd of 'rioters' threw objects and paint at officers, and that agents used 'targeted crowd control for the safety of law enforcement.' DHS stated: 'At no point was a school, students, or staff targeted, and agents would not have been near this location if not for the dangerous actions of this individual.' The incident led Minneapolis Public Schools to cancel classes district-wide for the remainder of the week.
