Another declaration filed in federal civil rights lawsuit Tincher v. Noem describes an ICE operation in Minneapolis on January 21, 2026, in which agents smashed a car windshield and pinned a driver face-down in the street while bystanders watched. Bergen Fuglestad, a Minneapolis resident, was following a suspected ICE vehicle through her Longfellow neighborhood when the situation escalated at the intersection of Minnehaha Avenue and East 33rd Street. The vehicle she had been following made a sudden turn to block the intersection, while five additional unmarked vehicles converged from the front and back, stopping all traffic. None of the vehicles were marked as ICE or DHS. None of the agents identified themselves or showed badges. All wore face coverings and street clothes under their gear. Agents smashed the windshield of the car directly behind Fuglestad, yelled "this is your one and only warning" without clarifying what the warning was for, then pulled the driver out of the car and pinned him face-down in the street with four or five agents on top of him. Roughly 10-15 additional agents formed a perimeter around the scene. Fuglestad stayed at least 20-30 feet away, filmed, and walked the line of backed-up traffic to warn drivers of the obstruction. An ICE agent photographed her license plate. She notes she has a physical condition that would have caused her serious injury had she been treated the same way. Since the incident she has experienced new physical symptoms and no longer feels safe observing ICE activity alone — but says she intends to continue. ~~~ Case No. 25-cv-04669 | D.
