Comedian Rob Potylo said he was arrested by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents in Minneapolis while performing in a giraffe costume as a fictional character known as Robby Roadsteamer.
Several Robby Roadsteamer social media accounts claimed that ICE had arrested Potylo. The social media posts included a video showing around a dozen law enforcement officers approaching the comedian and violently forcing him to the ground without any explanation.
As Potylo was handcuffed, protesters screamed at the officers.
“Leave the giraffe alone!” one person shouted.
The comedian has previously had encounters while mocking federal agents in Portland.
