ICE Accused of Using Sonic Weapons on Minneapolis Protesters as Feds Dig In
Minneapolis protests escalate as ICE faces accusations of using sonic weapons, Trump officials backpedal, and federal enforcement is reshuffled.
Federal immigration agents are now accused of aiming military-grade sound weapons at peaceful protesters in Minneapolis—and the video is exactly as bad as it sounds.
Footage shared by political commentator Ed Krassenstein shows demonstrators facing a wall of federal agents when a warning rings out: “LRAD.” After a countdown, the crowd abruptly retreats. Long-range acoustic devices can cause permanent hearing loss, vertigo, migraines, nausea, and ruptured eardrums when used at close range—hardly crowd control, more like coercion.
One observer summed it up bluntly: “This is what an authoritarian police state looks like.” They added, “Federal agents deploying sonic weapons that can cause permanent hearing loss and other lifelong injuries against peaceful American citizens exercising their First Amendment rights. Disgraceful. Un-American. Dangerous.” Others accused the federal government of openly experimenting on civilians after previously touting LRAD use overseas.
The protests erupted after the killings of Alex Pretti and Rene Nicole Good by federal law enforcement, pushing Minneapolis into weeks of sustained demonstrations. Senior Trump administration figures—including Stephen Miller and DHS Secretary Kristi Noem—used incendiary language to describe Pretti, even as the White House later tried to walk it back. Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt insisted investigations were ongoing, while Deputy AG Todd Blanche downplayed earlier rhetoric.
Behind the scenes, the fallout is already reshaping enforcement. Border Patrol Commander Gregory Bovino has been replaced by Tom Homan to oversee Minnesota operations, while Noem is being pushed back toward the southern border. The message from Washington appears clear: double down, deny everything, and hope the noise—literal and political—eventually fades.

Editor: When the government starts breaking out sonic weapons on citizens holding signs, the problem isn’t crowd control—it’s control, period. If this is “law and order,” someone forgot to read the Constitution before cranking up the volume.
