Minneapolis has become a volatile flashpoint in the federal government’s aggressive immigration enforcement known as Operation Metro Surge, drawing thousands of ICE and CBP agents into the city and igniting widespread outrage. What began as a large-scale immigration operation has spiraled into intense civil unrest after the fatal shootings of two U.S. citizens by federal agents, triggering protests, lawsuits, and fierce criticism of heavy-handed tactics. Local leaders and residents accuse federal authorities of excessive force, racial profiling, and destabilizing community safety, while nationwide demonstrations and legal challenges mount. As anger continues to build, Minneapolis has evolved from an enforcement zone into a powerful symbol of the broader fight over immigration policy and civil liberties.
