Overview
- Jake Lang secured a permit for a small "March Against Minnesota Fraud" gathering near Minneapolis City Hall that was met by large counterprotests.
- Videos show Lang being mobbed, dragged and bleeding, and later confronted as people kicked his car and tried to pull open a door; he used anti-Muslim and racially charged rhetoric and a promised Quran burning did not occur.
- Lang posted that he was stabbed and said his plate carrier blocked the blade, a claim that has not been independently verified.
- A Minneapolis Police Department spokesperson said the agency was aware of social media reports but had received no official assault report and made no arrests, noting that apparent injured individuals left before officers could make contact.
- State and local officials had placed agencies and the Minnesota National Guard on alert to monitor demonstrations, reflecting tensions tied to ICE operations and the recent killing of Renee Nicole Good.
