"Since the shooting of Renee Macklin Good, the Trump administration has escalated the federal immigration presence in Minneapolis, turning the city into a flashpoint for a new, more aggressive phase of immigration enforcement. NPR reporters on the ground in Minneapolis have witnessed federal agents pulling people off the streets and out of their cars or questioning people of color on their immigration status."
"70% of illegal aliens arrested by ICE have been charged with or convicted of a crime in the U.S. The American people, the law, and common sense are on our side, and we will not stop until law and order is restored after Biden's open border chaos flooded our country with the worst of the worst criminal illegal aliens."
"President Trump and [DHS] Secretary Noem are delivering on the American people's mandate to deport illegal aliens."
"Data published by the University of California Berkeley's Deportation Data Project shows that in the first nine months of President Trump's second term, around 75,000 people arrested by Immigration and Customs Enforcement did not have a criminal record over a third of all ICE arrests."
Federal immigration presence in Minneapolis increased after the shooting of Renee Macklin Good, making the city a flashpoint for a more aggressive phase of enforcement. Federal agents have pulled people off streets and out of cars and questioned people of color about their immigration status. Community members have protested, throwing snowballs at federal agents and blocking ICE vehicles, and agents have responded with tear gas, tackles, or arrests. Experts view the activity as part of a national shift in which federal immigration authorities push operational limits and deploy to cities with little formal coordination, creating confusion, fear, and mistrust. The administration defends the operations and cites criminality statistics; UC Berkeley data show many arrested lacked criminal records.
