<p>Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey claims that what’s happening in his city, as anti-ICE protesters and rioters flood the streets following the Renee Good shooting incident, is all about “love.”</p>
<p>“It&#8217;s important to tell the whole country that this is not just about resistance here in Minneapolis, it&#8217;s about love. We are showing something far more powerful and consequential here, which is love,” Frey said on Sunday during an appearance on ABC’s “This Week.”</p>

<p>“We are standing up for one another. You&#8217;ve got neighbors helping neighbors. You&#8217;ve got people uniting and coming together in this beautiful way,” he added. “And obviously we&#8217;ve got these threats out there from the federal government that were literally designed to intimidate Minneapolis residents, to intimidate me. But here&#8217;s the thing, we&#8217;re not going to be intimidated. We&#8217;ve got this beautiful city full of extraordinary people. I have never been prouder to be from Minneapolis.”</p>
<p>Video from the Minneapolis riots shows just how much “love” is being spread.</p>
<p>Footage that appeared online on Saturday shows a man being harassed and assaulted for wearing an American flag hoodie.</p>
<p>One of the protesters then tells the man that if he removes his hoodie, he “won’t get hurt.”</p>

<p>Anti-Islam influencer Jake Lang, who was in Minneapolis on Saturday to “burn a Koran on the steps of Minneapolis city hall,” was violently attacked and beaten by a mob of anti-ICE rioters.</p>
<p>In multiple videos, blood can be seen on his head and neck as he’s chased and harassed.</p>

<p>A group of tech engineers were having lunch in Minneapolis when anti-ICE activists confronted them under the misapprehension that they were Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers.</p>
<p>The activists were blowing whistles and yelling &#8220;get out of our f*cking neighborhood&#8221; and &#8220;if you&#8217;re not with us, you&#8217;re against us.&#8221;</p>
