BREAKING: Minneapolis Police, INCLUDING THE CHIEF, Retreat After Anti-ICE Rioters Attack Them and Seize Control (VIDEOS)

Minneapolis police officers, including Chief Brian O’Hara, were attacked and chased out of a downtown area by violent anti-ICE rioters on Friday night.

Officers were seen in video footage from the riot abandoning the streets, leaving the area under the control of leftist anarchists who have been protesting federal immigration enforcement operations.

Riots have escalated in the wake of the fatal shooting of Renee Nicole Good, a radical anti-ICE activist, who nearly mowed down an agent with her vehicle last week.

Independent journalist Nick Sortor, who has been on the ground covering the story, posted shocking video showing police in full retreat.

A large crowd of protesters can be seen advancing on the officers, shouting demands, as police speed away.

“Hey chief, why are you letting your city get like this?” Sorter can be heard asking in his video.

The Sorter did not receive a response because the officers were busy fleeing the mob.
