VIRAL CLAIMS OF FBI–ICE “TUNNEL RAID” IN MINNEAPOLIS SPARK CONFUSION — AUTHORITIES HAVE NOT CONFIRMED KEY DETAILS


Claims circulating online that the FBI and U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) uncovered a massive underground drug tunnel beneath a luxury mansion in Minneapolis are drawing widespread attention — but officials have not publicly confirmed the dramatic details being shared.

Social media posts and third-party websites allege that a coordinated federal operation targeted more than 60 locations across the Minneapolis–St. Paul area, uncovering an underground tunnel network, multi-ton quantities of narcotics, and tens of millions of dollars in cash. Some posts also claim that the property involved belonged to prominent immigration attorneys and that corruption had reached multiple levels of law enforcement.

At this time, however, no official public statement from the FBI or ICE has verified:
-
the existence of a tunnel beneath a private residence,
-
the seizure figures being circulated online,
-
the identity or profession of any property owners, or
-
allegations of widespread official corruption linked to the case.
Law-enforcement experts note that major federal operations of the scale described would normally be accompanied by formal press briefings, court filings, or publicly accessible indictments.
Authorities have not announced any confirmed totals for arrests, seized narcotics, or recovered cash matching the figures currently spreading online.
Investigators and media analysts are urging the public to treat the story with caution until verified information is released through official channels or court records.
