People were asking, "Where are the police?" last week when anti-ICE agitators in Minneapolis decided to build a checkpoint from a pile of junk at a busy intersection and screen who they let through, ironically asking for IDs and running license plate numbers of out-of-state plates. They'd constructed a border and were enforcing it … until police finally arrived and tore it down. "We are literally creating a place that we know who's coming and going in and out of our neighborhoods," said one particularly un-self-aware protester.

The protesters were back at it this weekend, assembling another blockade out of furniture, pallets, and stolen shopping carts. Police showed up pretty quickly this time around, although one officer did have a bit of a problem getting a recliner out from under an agitator.

Activists struggled in an attempt to hold onto furniture and wooden pallets being used to fortify the makeshift filter blockade at Bloomington and 35th.

Officers would frequently tell the protesters that they could be arrested/charged with obstruction, but didn’t do so. pic.twitter.com/TaJCkVtzoe
They should have.

🚨 HOLY CRAP! Minneapolis police are RIPPING DOWN the cartel-style anti-ICE blockades where leftists block vehicles, run plates and dox agents

Don't they say they hate borders?🤔

It’s ironic how they suddenly start believing in borders and restricting entry to certain people.

Isn't it?
That is the way it should be done. Those blockades are illegal and a nuisance

This should have been over weeks ago

There's a lot of parents in Minneapolis wondering what happened to their furniture

A lot of sad, disappointed parents who failed to raise their sons and daughters.
