A viral video circulating on social media Sunday appeared to show agitators interfering with an Immigration and Customs Enforcement operation targeting an alleged child sex offender in Minnesota, prompting responses from federal officials and senior members of President Donald Trump’s administration.
The video, which was posted to X and viewed more than 750,000 times within hours, shows an ICE agent confronting individuals in St. Paul who he said were disrupting federal officers as they attempted to take a suspect into custody.
According to the agent, the interference included repeated honking from nearby vehicles as officers worked to make the arrest.
“We’re here to arrest a child sex offender and you guys are out here honking,” the agent says in the video.
“No, we’re press,” someone off-camera responds.
“We’re not honking.”
The agent then gestures toward a nearby vehicle and continues addressing those filming.
