Anger rises in Minnesota over ICE crackdown

What happened

The Trump administration doubled down on its immigration enforcement operation in Minneapolis this week, as growing numbers of demonstrators took to the city’s streets to protest the fatal shooting of a local woman by an ICE officer and the increasingly brutal tactics used by immigration agents. Some 2,000 immigration officers were dispatched to the Twin Cities area last week for a sweeping crackdown tied in part to a welfare fraud scandal involving members of the Somali community in Minnesota.
