In Minneapolis, preparations are underway for a significant event scheduled for Saturday, January 17. A march, organized by conservative influencer Jake Lang, has created considerable attention in the community. According to sources, Lang has been promoting the event on social media, specifically on X.
March Targeting Cedar-Riverside Neighborhood
The march aims to mobilize supporters to “take back” Minnesota, a sentiment highlighted in Lang’s promotional posts. This call for action has raised concerns about potential disturbances within the Cedar-Riverside neighborhood.
Minneapolis Police Inspector Bill Peterson addressed these concerns during a recent community meeting. He assured residents that police are fully prepared for the march and stressed the city’s vigilance regarding security in the Cedar-Riverside area.
Recent Events Related to Community Tensions
The planned march follows recent unrest in Minneapolis. On Wednesday night, tensions escalated after a man was shot by a federal agent. This incident triggered protests in the area.
In connection with the protests, the Federal Bureau of Investigation reported one arrest for stealing property from an FBI vehicle in north Minneapolis. Witnesses captured footage of individuals accessing unmarked government vehicles, taking various items, including documents.
Law Enforcement Actions
On Thursday, local law enforcement executed a raid related to the stolen items. Initial reports indicated that the raid incorrectly targeted an apartment in Minneapolis. The search warrant mistakenly included information about an individual living at a nearby address.
Furthermore, the Department of Homeland Security has announced plans to inspect employment documentation at Hennepin Healthcare. The agency issued a subpoena on January 8, requiring the organization to provide verification of employees’ identity and eligibility.
