Straw Hat Pirates Flag at Minneapolis Protest
People in Minneapolis had a protest against a group called ICE.
They used a flag from a popular anime called 'One Piece' to show they don't like what ICE is doing.
Some people, like a nurse and a veteran, said they are worried about their rights and safety.
There was a small incident where someone tried to block the street, and one person was arrested.
The protest was mostly peaceful, with people staying on the sidewalks and making noise to show they disagree with ICE.
Protesters in Minneapolis used the Straw Hat Pirates Jolly Roger flag to show resistance against ICE.
Veteran Danielle and nurse Elise expressed concerns about constitutional rights and immigration raids.
The flag's appearance links local anger to a global anime-inspired movement against authority.
Federal agents faced protests with whistles and signs after a street-blocking attempt.
One arrest was made following the street-blocking incident.
