"Despite warnings from officials urging people not to attend the
"No Kings" rally in St. Paul on Saturday due to safety concerns tied to the
targeted political shootings of two state lawmakers, thousands made their way to the Minnesota State Capitol to protest the Trump administration and recent ICE raids."
"Sources say there were fliers connected to the protests found inside Boelter's vehicle. A WCCO crew saw a vehicle with white and yellow lights on top of it, and with a license plate that said "police," being towed away from the Hortmans' home.
