SAINT PAUL, MINNESOTA - FEBRUARY 5: Damage to the "Prosecute ICE" ice sculpture after Jake Lang, a pro-ICE protestor, vandalized the sculpture sponsored by Veterans from Common Defense, calling for the prosecution of ICE agents outside the Minnesota State Capitol in St.
Paul, Minnesota on February 5, 2026. Lang reportedly has been charged with a felony for damaging the over six thousand dollar sculpture. A man pardoned for his involvement in the Jan. 6 U.S. Capitol riots was arrested on felony charges after he destroyed anJake Lang, an influencer running for U.S. Senate in Florida, posted a video on X showing himself knocking over the sculpture which spelled “PROSECUTE ICE.” He knocked over letters so the sculpture read “PRO ICE.”The sculpture was erected that same day by veteran advocacy organization Common Defense, which held a rally protesting the Trump administration’s immigration enforcement operations in the state. "As a United States Marine, I swore an oath to the Constitution, not a political party; not an agency, the Constitution,” veteran Peter McKenzie said on Thursday. “Peaceful protest is not extremism. It is a moral obligation when power stops policing itself. It is how we rouse the conscience of the nation before injustice becomes normalized." During its rally the group called on Congress to withhold federal funding to the Department of Homeland Security until reforms are made. They also called on Congress to enact legislation which would allow citizens to sue federal rights if their civil rights are violated by federal agents. Following the sculpture’s destruction, Common Defense communications director Jacob Thomas lambasted Lang while reiterating calls for the federal agents who killed Renee Good and Alex Pretti to be charged. “I gave eight years of my life in service to this country in the military. For a Jan. 6 insurrectionist to destroy our display is an attack on the First Amendment veterans like me fought to defend,” Thomas told MPR News.3 people dragged unconscious man, who later died, outside Greece bar, police say Three people dragged an unconscious bar customer, who later died, outside after he was served drinks past closing time and hit his head, Greece police said.President Donald Trump usedsocial media to share a video about election conspiracy theories that includes a racist depiction of the Obamas as primates.Greece, N.Y. — A new co-working concept in Greece aims to better connect local contractors with the community.The Contractor Store has opened its doors on WestThe incident that led to the arrest of an Albion teacher happened while he was giving the victim a driving lesson last month, according to court documents.Rochester, N.Y. — J'Mere Ridley-Smith, 25, was shot and killed July 26 inside the Wegmans warehouse on Brooks Avenue in Gates.
