For hours on Friday, caravans of ICE vehicles passed in front of the pop-up protests, carrying immigrants to be processed for deportation. Amid a mass influx of federal immigration agents to Minnesota, the Whipple building, normally a hub for the Department of Veterans Affairs, has become a staging ground for ICE operations. A group of approximately 20 federal immigration agents stood guard outside the building.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After masked federal agents fired chemical irritants into the crowd, medics rushed to the scene to assist those who had been injured. One demonstrator could be heard exclaiming, \u201cThis is the fifth time I\u2019ve been hit with a pepper ball here.\u201d Others clutched their faces, struggling to breathe; one woman collapsed to the ground.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Protesters have been a regular fixture outside the Whipple building since January 7, when ICE officer Jonathan Ross killed Renee Nicole Good on a quiet residential street in Minneapolis after she stopped her car to observe what appeared to be a kidnapping in progress. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.npr.org\/2026\/01\/10\/g-s1-105387\/new-video-minnesota-shooting-officer-perspective\">Video filmed<\/a> on Ross\u2019s cellphone during the shooting, made public by a right-wing news site, shows him firing three shots into Good\u2019s vehicle before someone off-camera, presumably Ross, calls her a \u201cfucking bitch.\u201d<\/p><div class=\"truth-post-content-high\"

thousands demonstrated at Powderhorn Park in Minneapolis, which was also a major site of protest during the 2020 George Floyd uprising. Floyd was killed by police officer Derek Chauvin just a few blocks away from 34th Street and Portland Avenue, where Good was shot by Ross. Now, Minneapolis has been cast into the national spotlight yet again, as more than 2,000 federal immigration agents operate in the state as part of what ICE has termed <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/minneapolis-federal-agents-crackdown\/\">\u201cOperation Metro Surge.\u201d<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On the ground in Minneapolis, it feels as though the city is collectively holding its breath. \u201cWe are still very much living in the shadow of the Black Lives Matter protests,\u201d said Jacob, 42, a small business owner in Minneapolis who asked to be identified only by his first name due to safety concerns, during a demonstration at Whipple. \u201cEveryone is just waiting to see if these demonstrations will escalate in the same way as they did in 2020.\u201d If Renee Good had been killed in any other city, he added, expectations for mass escalation and mobilization might have been different \u2014 but \u201cthis is Minneapolis,\u201d where the legacy of the George Floyd uprising <a href=\"https:\/\/slate.com\/news-and-politics\/2025\/11\/minneapolis-mayor-jacob-frey-omah-fateh-george-floyd.html\">never really faded.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Department of Homeland Security has <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pbs.org\/newshour\/politics\/2000-federal-agents-sent-to-minneapolis-area-to-carry-out-largest-immigration-operation-ever-ice-says\">threatened<\/a> the city with \u201cthe largest immigration operation ever\u201d carried out by the agency. Operation Metro Surge began in December, after President Donald Trump and right-wing media outlets amplified baseless reports of \u201cwidespread fraud\u201d at day care and health care facilities in the state.

Frey\u2019s remarks at a press conference on January 7, just hours after Good was killed, earned him praise even from some <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dsausa.org\/statements\/twin-cities-dsa-on-ice-agents-murder-of-renee-good\/\">critics on the left,<\/a> who remain angry over his handling of the George Floyd uprising. \u201cICE, get the fuck out of Minneapolis,\u201d Frey said. Democratic socialist Omar Fateh challenged Frey in the Minneapolis mayoral election last fall, campaigning, in part, on strengthening the separation ordinance between local police and federal immigration authorities. Frey defeated Fateh in the general election, amid <a href=\"https:\/\/sahanjournal.com\/democracy-politics\/jacob-frey-wins-reelection-minneapolis-mayor-omar-fateh\/\">criticisms<\/a> of outsized campaign PAC spending.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Gov. Tim Walz initially said Minnesota\u2019s National Guard was \u201con standby,\u201d stating that \u201cthey remain ready in the event they are needed to help keep the peace, ensure public safety, and allow for peaceful demonstrations.\u201d Walz, who recently ended his reelection bid due in part to criticism over his handling of alleged fraud in the state-administered public grants system, now faces the challenge of confronting Trump as the president continues to aggressively target Minnesota.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Twin Cities Democratic Socialists of America spokesperson Elizabeth Bonin said, \u201cIt is certainly opportunistic. Frey and Walz have failed to protect their constituents. They should have been calling for ICE to leave as soon as the agents set foot in Minnesota, but they didn\u2019t, and they endangered their constituents.\u201d Protesters gathered for a noise demonstration, banging drums and chanting on Friday night outside a Hilton Canopy Hotel on the outskirts of Minneapolis, where ICE officers were rumored to be staying. <em>Truthout<\/em> could not independently confirm whether officers were housed at the hotel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The protest was eventually declared an unlawful assembly by the Minneapolis Police Department (MPD), and dozens of MPD officers were deployed to the scene. Thirty protesters were detained and cited for acts of civil disobedience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On January 10, Representatives Ilhan Omar, Angie Craig, and Kelly Morrison attempted to enter the Whipple Federal Building as part of their congressional oversight duties. They were initially allowed inside but were then denied access at the instruction of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In June, Noem issued <a href=\"https:\/\/www.npr.org\/2026\/01\/11\/nx-s1-5673949\/dhs-restricts-congressional-visits-to-ice-facilities-in-minneapolis-with-new-policy\">a directive<\/a> requiring members of Congress to provide at least seven days\u2019 notice before visiting an ICE facility. However, last month, a court ruled that Trump administration officials could not prevent congressional oversight by imposing advance-notice requirements or blocking visits altogether. Noem is attempting to circumvent that ruling by claiming that facilities funded by appropriations under the GOP budget bill last year are not subject to the same oversight requirements, in a memo that will likely face a new round of legal challenges.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-pullquote alignright\"><blockquote><p>As masked federal agents patrol city streets, residents have stepped up to organize resistance.
