Overlooked is the fact that these "protests" in Minnesota aren't protests in any 1st Amendment/Civil Rights demonstration sense, nor even mass riots in the BLM style. These are organized attacks with the explicit goal of disrupting the normal operation of the US government.

Immigration policy & enforcement is exclusive to the Federal government. And the 2024 election was a referendum on exactly that. Organized cells of open borders extremists usurping that authority in the street is, in fact, a threat to our democracy.
