President Donald Trump said he watched "every move" the agents took and "couldn't have felt more safe." Protests took hold in a swathe of cities including Boston, Dallas, Denver, Des Moines, Houston, Las Vegas, Memphis, and Portland. Authorities imposed a curfew Friday in Minneapolis after three nights of protests left parts of the city in flames.
