After about two weeks of ICE/Homeland Security operating in the Twin Cities, it's fair to say tensions are high between Federal agents and the professional protester class that is operating against them.
How high?
High enough that some of our less-bright neighbors are getting high on their own supply, legally speaking.
A couple from one of the Twin Cities' suburbs allegedly tried to "kidnap" a Homeland Security agent on Thursday in the northwest suburbs of Minneapolis:

They apparently drove off with the HSI agent - apparently, according to some very early reports, as an attempt at (for lack of a better term) "citizen justice".
According to Plymouth Police Chief Erik Fadden, his officers were made aware through 911 dispatch calls that a Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) agent had reportedly been kidnapped by a detainee inside the detainee's car.
“That’s not something we hear every day, especially in Plymouth,” said Fadden. “Our officers were just trying to sort through the chaos.”
It's unclear so far what led to this situation, but Chief Fadden says multiple 911 calls came from inside the car. The ordeal reportedly began around 2:50 P.M. on the 4300 block of Nathan Lane North in Plymouth, and ended roughly five minutes away in front of New Hope City Hall/Police Station.
Minnesota Public Radio covered the story:
In an affidavit in support of the criminal complaint against Oluwadamilola Ogooluwa Bamigboye and Rekeya Lionesha Lee Frazier, FBI Special Agent Terry Getsch writes that the HSI agents were inside an unmarked Ford Explorer SUV surveilling Bamigboye’s Kia Optima, which was parked outside an apartment complex in Plymouth, Minn.
Frazier, 23, pulled up next to the Kia in a Jeep SUV with Bamigboye, 24, in the front passenger seat. When Bamigboye spotted the unmarked Explorer, he allegedly pulled a mask over his face and got out of the Jeep.
According to the FBI affidavit, the HSI agents walked up to the Jeep, displayed their badges, identified themselves as law enforcement officers and told Bamigboye that they wanted to talk about his immigration status.
Bamigboye then allegedly jumped into the Jeep’s back seat and yelled at Frazier to drive away...Frazier allegedly put the vehicle in gear and drove off. The HSI agent “was now being involuntarily carried in the Jeep as it drove,” according to the FBI.
The couple then apparently drove the agent to city hall and police station in the northwest Minneapolis suburb of New Hope, apparently (according to early reports) hoping the local cops would arrest the Federal agents.
The New Hope cops arrested the couple - although the police chief in the DFL-dominated first-tier suburb didn't want it to sound like they wanted to or anything:
🚨NEW DETAILS: HSI Agent was briefly kidnapped by an illegal alien from Nigeria, Oluwadamilola Ogooluwa Bamigboye and his girlfriend, Rekeya Lionesha Lee Frazier and the only message from the Woke, Sanctuary City Police is, “we don’t get involved with immigration enforcement”. https://t.co/54XnOE2f4Y pic.twitter.com/a87wIYqi7t

So, that "dialing back the rhetoric" thing hasn't landed, really, has it?
