Roughly 30 protesters gathered outside of the Whipple Federal Building on March 19 to protest the federal government’s guilty verdict in the hotly contested “Antifa” test case that sprung from a noise demonstration in Texas last year.
The Whipple building, located to the south of Minneapolis, has been the site of protest since the beginning of Operation Metro Surge last year, as it houses a detention center and is being used as the headquarters for immigration-related activities in the Upper Midwest.
The demonstration, which lasted only a couple hours, was policed by deputies from the Hennepin County Sheriff’s Office as protesters moved into the roadway in front of the building’s northeast entrance. Shortly after, more squad cars positioned themselves in the area to watch protesters until there were at least 12 in the area, one for every two to three protesters. No arrests were made.
