An ICE agent pulled down his shorts and pressed his bare ass against a hotel window to moon protesters in Minneapolis on Monday evening—and it was all caught on camera.

WHAT’S GOING ON: Journalist Laura Jedeed filmed the incident outside a Springhill Suites in Maple Grove, a suburb about 20 minutes from Minneapolis.

Federal agents staying at the hotel were laughing at the crowd of protesters from a third-floor window when one of them decided to display his backside to the distressed demonstrators below.

This isn’t frat house behavior—it’s federal officers openly mocking civilians who are protesting the deaths of two U.S. citizens killed by immigration agents in the past three weeks. Veterans Affairs ICU nurse Alex Pretti, 37, was shot and killed Saturday. Award-winning poet Renée Nicole Good, also 37, was killed by an ICE agent earlier this month while observing federal immigration operations.

The White House is in full blown damage control mode as top officials have begun throwing each other under the bus.

THE DETAILS: The contempt isn’t limited to crude gestures from hotel windows. Federal agents are now following protesters to their homes to intimidate them. In Maine, ICE watcher Liz Eisele McLellan told the Portland Press Herald that a federal agent came to her house with three cars blocking the street outside.

“This is a warning,” the agent said. “We know you live right here.” McLellan called it “one of the scariest things that ever happened to me.” When she called 911, the dispatcher told her she should comply with federal agents.

Two Minneapolis volunteers who drive supplies to immigrants and follow ICE vehicles told The Atlantic that agents had shown up at their homes to threaten them too.

OF COURSE: The Department of Justice won’t be investigating Pretti’s death for civil rights violations. Instead, Customs and Border Protection will investigate whether its own agents followed department policy—essentially investigating itself.

“No matter how good an investigation was conducted, it gives the perception of a cover-up if charges aren’t brought against the agents,” former FBI agent Rob D’Amico told MS NOW.

WHY IT MATTERS: Federal officers are either completely ignorant of the severity of their violence, or they simply don’t care. The public backlash has rattled even conservative lawmakers. Republican Senator Rand Paul pointed out that local police routinely place officers involved in deadly shootings on administrative leave—something that hasn’t happened here.

“I can’t recall ever hearing a police chief immediately describing the victim as a ‘domestic terrorist,'” Paul wrote. Stephen Miller is attempting to walk back those comments.

Minneapolis residents have formed neighborhood watches, carrying firearms and banging pots and pans to alert others when ICE vehicles enter their neighborhoods. Governor Tim Walz has demanded federal agents exit the state. Trump’s approval has nosedived to a net -19 percent, and even the NRA has torn into CBP for suggesting Second Amendment rights “don’t count” for protesters.

The message from federal agents is unmistakable: They can kill U.S. citizens, follow dissenters home, threaten them at their doorsteps, and then literally show their asses to anyone who objects.
