They continued to riot.
Large groups of protesters clashed with law enforcement outside of federal buildings and ICE facilities.
And a number of conservative demonstrators were brutally attacked in broad daylight.
In one instance, right-wing activist Jake Lang was physically dragged from the front steps of a government building by a large mob of leftist agitators.
They proceeded to beat him with fists, rocks, and flagpoles, as some in the crowd could be heard yelling, kill him.
All it's worth pointing out with police nowhere to be seen.
The video is pretty disturbing, we're going to warn folks, but we're going to play some of it here for our audience watching on the Daily Wire website.
Now, thankfully, Lang was eventually able to make it to a car, which sped to safety, but not before he was left with severe gashes to his face and head, which left him hospitalized.
Other footage from the scene showed a different man wearing an American flag hoodie.
That man was surrounded by another mob who demanded, quote, take it off and you won't get hurt.
Seconds later, as the mob surrounds him, they force him to remove that hoodie, which they rip from his hands and run off with.
And then elsewhere, footage showed protesters surrounding innocent people who were driving SUVs because they were suspected of being ICE agents because of the cars they were driving.
Masked rioters demanded they open their doors and trunks to prove they were not ICE.
Other videos showed rioters surrounding random white men in the city who they said, quote, looked like ICE.
They were told to yell F-word ICE, you get the idea, to supposedly prove they were not with the agency.
And in a remarkable moment Sunday morning, Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey essentially blamed the violence across the city on the Trump administration, saying that if ICE agents left Minneapolis, there would be peace.
And as you said, pretty shocking footage that we're seeing streaming out of Minneapolis.
What is Trump doing now in response?
Well, as we mentioned last week, President Trump, in response to the violence, did consider invoking the Insurrection Act, which would allow him to deploy the military to Minneapolis and grant them the authority to perform law enforcement duties.
The Pentagon has ordered 1,500 troops to be ready for a possible deployment.
