A chaotic scene unfolded Tuesday in the Hennepin County Government Center, where federal agents took a man into custody in the building’s lobby. Hennepin County Attorney Mary Moriarty called the incident “disruptive and disturbing to many.”

As the Trump administration’s immigration crackdown continues in Minnesota, Gov. Tim Walz said he expects the operation to soon wind down and federal leaders have “assured us that I think we are moving towards that.”

In another development, ex-CNN anchor Don Lemon will be represented by former acting U.S. Attorney Joe Thompson in his criminal case tied to an anti-ICE demonstration at a St. Paul church.
