Pardoned Jan 6 rioter chased from pro-ICE rally in Minneapolis after blasting ‘Ice, Ice Baby’ and threats to burn Quran
Pardoned Jan. 6 insurrectionist driven out of Minnesota by counter protesters
- Jake Lang, a Jan. 6 rioter pardoned by the president, led an anti-immigrant rally in Minneapolis that was vastly outnumbered by counter-protesters.
- Lang's CRUSADER MARCH targeted the city's Somali population and expressed anti-immigrant sentiments, with Lang having previously stated intentions to burn a Quran.
- Counter-protesters, demonstrating against the administration and increased federal immigration presence, threw water balloons and snowballs at Lang and his supporters, chasing them from the federal courthouse.
- The rally took place amidst a surge of federal immigration agents in Minneapolis, following a fatal shooting by an ICE officer and strong opposition from local officials, including Mayor Jacob Frey and Governor Tim Walz.
- Local and state officials have challenged the federal immigration surge, with Minnesota suing the administration and a federal judge limiting the use of force against protesters in the city.
