Minneapolis stood up against a conservative influencer who wanted to make the ongoing siege of Minnesota into content. Jake Lang descended upon the city, eager to use the ongoing violence against these people as a “glorified photo-op.” Instead, the protestors in Minneapolis responded to his insults and aggression swiftly. They got their point across that they wouldn’t have their neighbors defamed by outsiders.
Lang came to Minneapolis hoping to hold a rally in support of ICE. Immigration and Customs Enforcement has been illegally kidnapping and detaining residents of the city for weeks now. On the steps of Minneapolis City Hall, Lang proposed to “burn a Quran” as a part of the social media stunt. But, things didn’t go according to plan for the far-right provocateur.
