MPR News photojournalist Ben Hovland observed the arrests and said the agents appear to have rear-ended a silver-colored SUV carrying the two minors.
Agents took a teenage boy into custody. The driver, a teenage girl, was seen handing agents a U.S. passport

Early press accounts, presumably informed by DHS, claimed that the teenage girl in the first photo and another teen passenger were arrested after "colliding" with a vehicle driven by federal immigration officials.
The second photo depicts the "collision."

I need to hear a @normornstein.bsky.social rant about Lutnick soon
Lutnick is just straight up lying, and being called on it by (checks notes) Maria f’n Bartiromo, who doesn’t have the firmest grasp on ethics or reality to start with.

BARTIROMO: I mean, we talk about evil action from Putin going into Ukraine. People are looking at Greenland and saying, 'How is it possible the US can acquire another country even though they're pushing back?'
LUTNICK: I don't remember Greenland being another country. We're not taking over Denmark.

These people have no consistent politics outside a desperate, leering need to keep hold of power and privilege.
