Arrests at Maple Grove Hotel Protest Targeting Border Patrol Commander

The clash reflects a broader wave of Minneapolis-area demonstrations over federal enforcement actions.

Overview

  • Maple Grove police declared an unlawful assembly outside the SpringHill Suites and Residence Inn by Marriott and arrested several people.
  • Authorities reported property damage and said objects were thrown at officers before issuing a dispersal order.
  • Protesters gathered because they believed Border Patrol commander Greg Bovino was staying at the hotel, though his presence was not confirmed.
  • Arrest totals varied by outlet, with reports ranging from at least six to roughly 26 as police continued processing detainees.
  • An Associated Press video showed demonstrators using whistles, kitchen utensils and pieces of wood to make noise, and the crowd dispersed by about 10 p.m.
