Trump administration escalates attack on Minnesota with more immigration agents

Summary
The Trump administration has launched what immigration officials describe as the largest immigration enforcement operation in Minnesota’s history, significantly increasing the number of federal agents in the state. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), along with Homeland Security Investigations (HSI), has surged law enforcement into Minneapolis and surrounding areas to target alleged immigration fraud and undocumented immigrants with criminal records. Media reports suggest that up to 2,000 agents may be deployed for about 30 days, though officials have not confirmed exact numbers.

The operation, called “Operation Metro Surge,” began in early December and includes door-to-door visits to businesses suspected of hiring undocumented workers, as well as investigations into alleged social services fraud. The crackdown has heightened fear among immigrant communities, leading some people to avoid public spaces and medical care, while community members and activists have protested and attempted to block deportations.

The focus on Minnesota is linked to several high-profile fraud cases and has been accompanied by inflammatory rhetoric from the administration, particularly regarding Somali communities, even though most Somali residents in the state are US citizens. Minnesota Governor Tim Walz has strongly criticized the federal action, calling it excessive and characterizing it as an attack on the state by the Trump administration.
