A video circulating online shows an ICE agent pursuing a youth through a Minnesota street after spotting him during an enforcement operation.
The footage captures the youth running as the agent gives chase. He is quickly caught and restrained without handcuffs, while a crowd gathers and begins shouting at the agent to stop.
During the encounter, the youth can be heard speaking in Spanish and claiming U.S. citizenship. The video does not provide confirmation of his legal status, and no documents are shown on camera.
According to a statement later attributed to DHS, agents believe the youth was left behind after another individual fled the scene. Authorities have not released additional details regarding the circumstances.
As the arrest unfolds, multiple bystanders can be heard yelling and attempting to interfere verbally, increasing tension during the encounter.
The video does not show physical force beyond the brief chase and restraint, and the agent appears focused on maintaining control as the crowd presses closer.
Incidents like this have become increasingly common amid heightened immigration enforcement activity and frequent public confrontations in Minnesota.
Officials have not released further information about the youth’s identity or what happened following the detention.
