A woman protesting ICE in Minneapolis today suffered severe injuries after accidentally detonating a live flashbang grenade in her hand.

According to video footage and eyewitness accounts from anti-ICE demonstrations held on January 25, 2026, the female protester picked up a flashbang device deployed by federal agents during the protests. She attempted to throw it back toward law enforcement but it detonated prematurely in her hand, causing partial loss of fingers and significant trauma.

The incident was captured on video and widely shared online, showing the protester grabbing the device from the ground amid chaotic scenes before collapsing as it exploded.

Department of Homeland Security officials confirmed that the event occurred during confrontations with protesters and was self-inflicted. However, no mainstream news outlets have reported specific injuries related to this incident due to its recency.
