Minnesota is now in open confrontation with President Trump’s ICE surge. After the fatal shooting of 37-year-old U.S. citizen Renee Nicole Good by an ICE agent, and another reported federal shooting in North Minneapolis, tensions have exploded on the streets. Tonight, Minneapolis officials confirmed reports of gunfire involving federal law enforcement as protesters clashed with ICE agents using flashbangs and pepper balls.
This all stems from Trump’s “Operation Metro Surge,” which sent roughly 2,000 immigration agents into Minnesota, the largest operation in state history. State leaders say it has led to wrongful detentions of U.S. citizens, unconstitutional raids, and escalating violence. Minnesota’s Attorney General, along with Minneapolis and St. Paul, has sued the Trump administration, calling the operation an unlawful federal occupation and political retaliation.
A federal judge has already ordered one ICE detainee released, ruling agents violated the Fourth Amendment by breaking into a home without a judicial warrant. While local police aren’t arresting ICE agents, Minnesota’s message is unmistakable: end the surge, respect the Constitution, and get out of our state.
