Minnesotans in the ICE abduction crosshairs, creating a climate of terror

Big moves are happening in Minnesota as ICE and Homeland Security ramp up their operations in 2026! Federal agents are flooding the Twin Cities with 2,000 officers for a 30-day surge, focusing on illegal immigration and a major fraud investigation.

Since late December, over 500 arrests have been made, with authorities tightening their grip on suspected fraud in child care programs—mostly tied to Somali-run centers. The crackdown comes at a time when federal resources are being heavily pushed into high-profile cases, and the city is feeling the tension.

But wait, it’s not all smooth sailing! There’s controversy, too—reports say a Minneapolis hotel canceled reservations for immigration agents, sparking a heated response from DHS.

The community is torn, with protests erupting as tensions rise across the city. Stay tuned for more updates as this dramatic chapter unfolds! 🚨
