On Jan. 26, 2026, Maple Grove police declared an unlawful assembly and arrested 13 people outside the SpringHill Suites during a protest targeting a Border Patrol commander, saying the demonstration escalated into property damage and objects were allegedly thrown at officers. Fox News reports the arrestees faced charges including riot, damage to property and obstructing legal process, and identified prior convictions for some — including Justin Neal Shelton’s 2007 first‑degree aggravated robbery conviction involving an assault on a pregnant woman and multiple theft/property‑damage convictions for Abraham Nelson Coleman — while noting among those arrested were University of Minnesota 1L Jaylynn Marie Rodriguez and Rayna Michelle Alston, who reportedly uses the slogan “disrupt disturb resist” on her Instagram.
