“This is NOT a protest. This is an attack on law enforcement,” U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) Commissioner Rodney Scott declared Monday, sharing multiple videos of anti-immigration enforcement activists trashing a Minneapolis hotel where officers were staying.
“This is our Border Patrol being targeted at their hotel in Minneapolis - surrounded, blocked in, glass smashed, people trying to force their way inside,” Commissioner Scott wrote in a X.com post introducing the video clips.

“This entire environment where the community is encouraged by local leaders to come out and actually prevent you from making a felony arrest, it’s a new dynamic, but we’re trying to evolve to it,” Scott said in an interview with Fox News Channel.
Scott explained that, while officers are adapting to the new challenges, “the tactics are still the same”:
“You try to talk somebody; you give them orders.
“If they don’t follow the orders and they get into your face, you give them a warning.
“But, as soon as they pose any kind of a threat to those officers or the operation, they’re going to be arrested.”
“We’ve actually increased the training based on these new threats that the agents are facing.” Training is not the issue, politicians riling up their constituents is. pic.twitter.com/AJNXcGXG7N

Separately, The Liberty Daily posted video from FreedomNews.TV providing a closer look at the destructiveness wrought by the violent activists.
