Sky reporter overcome by tear gas while reporting on ICE protests

Martha Kelner was reporting from outside Bishop Henry Whipple Federal Building, a local branch of the US Department of Homeland Security, where protests had kicked off on Thursday (15 January).

Protests have rocked the Twin Cities following the fatal shooting of Renee Nicole Good last week, whilst the shooting of a Venezuelan immigrant in the leg on Wednesday (14 January) also caused further unrest.
