“IT’S BURNING!”: Outrage as 7-Year-Old Caught in Minneapolis Protest Chaos
Heart-wrenching footage from Saturday, January 31, 2026, shows a young girl in a pink butterfly sweater screaming in agony after being struck by chemical irritants during escalating anti-ICE protests in Minneapolis.
The unidentified girl, estimated to be around 7 years old, was seen being treated by street medics who frantically poured water over her eyes while she cried, "It's burning!".
Protesters have dubbed the child the "kid in the pink sweater" as they call for "Justice" against federal enforcement.
Critics on social media are accusing parents of using their children as political props, claiming the footage shows adults "coaching" the 7-year-old on how to engage in high-conflict riots.
The disturbing images have led to a surge of calls for local police or child protective services to investigate parents who bring young children to "volatile crowd situations" where federal agents are deploying crowd control measures.
