At least 29 people have been arrested in Minneapolis during protests over the death of a woman who was shot by a US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agent.
One police officer was also injured after a chunk of ice was thrown at them, city officials said, during demonstrations which saw 1,000 people take to the streets of the city on Friday night.
Protests against immigration enforcement have been held across the US after 37-year-old Renee Nicole Good was shot in her car on Wednesday.
The Trump administration said the agent who fired the shots acted in self-defence. Local officials have insisted the woman posed no danger.
Minneapolis Police declared an unlawful assembly on Friday night as protesters gathered outside the Canopy Hotel in the city, where some ICE agents were believed to be staying.
The Minneapolis police department said in a statement that some individuals forced entry into the hotel through an alley entrance.
Videos posted online showed protesters flashing bright lights into the area, blowing whistles and banging on drums.
Police said there were well over 1,000 demonstrators in the area and some threw ice, snow and rocks at officers, police vehicles and other vehicles, but no serious injuries were reported.
One law enforcement officer suffered minor injuries but did not need any medical attention, according to the BBC's US partner CBS News.
Good was shot and killed in her car on Wednesday.
Videos of the incident show ICE agents approaching a car which is in the middle of the street, and telling the woman behind the wheel to get out of the SUV. One of the agents tugs at the driver's side door handle.
As the vehicle attempts to drive off, one of the agents at the front of the car points their gun at the driver and several shots are heard.
The car then continues to drive away from the officer and crashes into the side of the street.
Good's wife told local media the pair had gone to the scene of immigration enforcement activity to support neighbours.
The FBI is investigating the incident, and Minnesota officials announced they would open an inquiry into the shooting.
Congresswomen from Minnesota attempted to tour an ICE facility and were initially allowed inside but were soon told to leave, raising further concerns over transparency from the agency.
Further protests are planned this weekend across multiple states including Texas, Florida, and Washington D.C., as activists mobilize against ICE operations.
