Far-right activist chased away by counterdemonstrators while leading small rally in Minneapolis

Right-wing influencer Jake Lang was chased away by counterdemonstrators while leading a small rally in Minneapolis amid tensions over the Trump administration's sweeping Immigration and Customs Enforcement operations in the Twin Cities.

Lang is among the January 6 defendants granted clemency by President Donald Trump. He was charged with assaulting an officer with a baseball bat, civil disorder and other crimes.

Before his anti-Somali, anti-Islam demonstration Saturday, called the "March Against Minnesota Fraud," Lang said on social media he intended to "burn a Quran" on the steps of City Hall. CNN affiliate KARE reported he did not burn a Quran.
