Conservative influencer and pardoned Jan. 6 defendant Jake Lang’s attempts to hold a rally on Jan. 17 in support of federal immigration enforcement efforts in Minneapolis were drowned out by hundreds of counter protesters.
Lang had hosted an anti-Islam, anti-Somali demonstration in support of Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s (ICE) immigration enforcement. He had announced on social media intentions to “burn a Quran” on the steps of City Hall in Minneapolis, leading to a standoff between his supporters and protesters who had gathered around the scene, yelling over Lang’s attempts to speak and chasing away a pro-ICE group.
