Resources for MN Families During Immigration Enforcement Operations
In January 2026, the federal administration deployed over 3,000 ICE agents to the Minneapolis-St. Paul region in what officials describe as perhaps the largest immigration enforcement operation ever.
ICE agents have now been spotted in several more regions throughout the state, including (but not limited to): St. Cloud, Rochester, Mankato, Willmar, and Detroit Lakes.
