We applaud the court’s decision in the ACLU’s lawsuit, which prohibits federal immigration agents from targeting or retaliating against those peacefully and lawfully protesting or observing Operation Metro Surge operations.

Freedom of expression and peaceful assembly are your constitutional rights. And are importance to our democracy. With demonstrations planned this weekend, it is also important to keep everyone safe while lifting the voices of our communities. https://bit.ly/4sv3zQf

We know folks across Minneapolis are feeling scared, angry and uncertain. Those spreading fear and hate want attention to agitate and escalate violent confrontation. Let’s continue meet this moment with peace, unity and the welcoming values that make Minneapolis so special.

Today, Mayor Frey told members of Congress about the chaos and disruption in Minneapolis from Operation Metro Surge. Representatives from across the country were here for a field hearing to learn about the harm our residents and businesses are experiencing.

There’s a lot happening in Minneapolis right now. Even in uncertain times, our city remains open, resilient, and connected. Let’s continue to support our neighbors, local businesses and the community that makes Minneapolis great.

Contrary to federal rhetoric, Mayor Frey and other City leaders have consistently called for peace and calm as our community confronts the incursion of federal agents sowing chaos in our streets.

Minnesota needs ICE to leave, not an escalation that brings additional federal troops beyond the 3,000 already here. My priority is keeping local law enforcement focused on public safety, not diverted by federal overreach. www.kare11.com/mobile/artic...

Tonight a man was shot in the leg by an ICE agent on the Northside.

No matter what led up to this incident, the situation we are seeing in our city is not sustainable.

This evening, one adult male was shot by federal immigration enforcement agents in the 600 block of 24th Avenue North. He was transferred to a local hospital with apparent non-life-threatening injuries.

We understand there is anger. We ask the public to remain calm.
We are aware of reports of a shooting involving federal law enforcement in North Minneapolis. We are working to confirm additional details.

Amid ICE’s divisive presence in our neighborhoods, we’ve heard reports of threats of violence against schools and community organizations. Call 911 immediately if you hear about or receive a threat involving schools, students, or community groups.

Today, the judge assigned to our lawsuit against the U.S. Department of Homeland Security asked for additional briefings by both parties next week. That will be followed by a hearing.

Recent reports of ICE activity include detaining or arresting U.S. citizens. If this happens to you or someone you know, learn about your rights, how to report what happened, and where to get help.

We’re suing the federal government to end its unconstitutional and dangerous immigration enforcement presence in Minneapolis – marked by excessive force and racial profiling. We aim to restore order; not block immigration enforcement. www.minneapolismn.gov/federal

We, along with the State and City of St. Paul, are suing the Trump Administration to end its unconstitutional and dangerous “Operation Metro Surge”, which is creating chaos, degrading safety and violating civil rights in our city.

Before opening your door to ICE, know your rights, as recommended by the Immigrant Law Center. Remember to assert them calmly and safely.

If you plan to be outside today, especially at gatherings or demonstrations across the city, please take steps to stay warm.

With very cold wind chills, we encourage community members to dress in layers, cover exposed skin, and take warming breaks when possible. Your safety matters.
