ICE Will Come to Your City, Suburb, or Town. Here's How to Prepare.

"This is part of a series of on-the-ground reports from Minneapolis. Over the past few weeks, previously unthinkable horrors have unfolded in Minnesota as federal agents working for Immigration and Customs Enforcement have shot Renee Nicole Good in the head, killing her, and arrested a 5-year-old boy just as he was arriving home from school. Erin Maye Quade is a Minnesota state senator who has now witnessed countless instances of federal agents arresting and detaining her constituents."

"This week, Maye Quade decided it was time to put out a blunt warning for the rest of America in the form of a TikTok video: "There may be people outside of Minnesota who are thinking: When this comes to my state, I'm white, or a U.S. citizen, or I live in a suburb or rural area, or a neighborhood with few or no immigrants, and this is something I won't experience or see, " the senator said. "I'm here to dispel that myth for you. That is not the case.""

"Maye Quade, who lives in the Minneapolis suburb of Apple Valley, emphasized just how ubiquitous immigration enforcement has become across rural, suburban, and urban Minnesota. ICE presence is so large it surpasses the number of local law enforcement members in the state's 10 largest metro areas combined. These agents are not working from an organized list of known immigrants living in the U.S. unlawfully, let alone a judicial warrant; instead they are operating at random."

Federal immigration agents in Minnesota have expanded operations across urban, suburban, and rural areas, resulting in deadly force and the arrest of a young child. ICE presence in the state exceeds local law enforcement numbers in the ten largest metro areas combined. Agents routinely operate without judicial warrants or organized lists of undocumented immigrants, conducting randomized stops. Observed tactics include idling vehicles and waiting to detain Black, brown, or Asian residents during everyday activities. A Minnesota state senator from Apple Valley warned that these practices can affect people regardless of race, citizenship, or neighborhood type.
