"The Trump administration has sent more immigration agents to Minnesota, part of escalating attacks and rhetoric against the state and its immigrant populations. The Department of Homeland Security has confirmed on X that it is surging to Minneapolis to root out fraud, arrest perpetrators and remove criminal illegal aliens. Todd Lyons, the acting director of Immigration and Customs Enforcement, told Newsmax that the agency has in the city the largest immigration operation ever taking place right now."
"CBS News reported on Monday that the administration would bring another 2,000 agents, both from ICE and homeland security investigations, into the state for 30 days. Lyons didn't confirm the number of agents, but said it was an effort from both ICE and HSI. DHS wouldn't confirm a number to the Guardian, but said that the agency has surged law enforcement. Kristi Noem, the homeland security secretary, appears to be in the state."
The Department of Homeland Security has surged immigration agents to Minneapolis under Operation Metro Surge to arrest and remove alleged criminal illegal aliens and investigate fraud. Officials described the deployment as the largest immigration operation in the city, while DHS and ICE declined to confirm exact agent numbers amid reports of an additional 2,000 agents. Kristi Noem appears to have been present for at least one arrest. Community members have protested and impeded deportations, and some immigrants have avoided grocery stores and medical care for fear of apprehension. Officers have gone door to door to companies suspected of hiring undocumented people. Minnesota has a large Somali population and faces social services fraud allegations.
