But while there’s anecdotal evidence of fewer Immigration and Customs Enforcement actions around Minneapolis, federal agents are still very present — and residents are still terrified. Advertisement“It certainly hasn’t stopped,” Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey said in a Thursday interview. It’s a good sign, he said, but it doesn’t mean much has changed materially for Minneapolis immigrants who have been so traumatized by ICE’s monthslong campaign of terror against them that they haven’t stepped outside of their homes, in some cases, for eight or nine weeks. “As of today, I would not call the operation over,” Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey said of ICE agents still crawling through his city. Looking ahead, the mayor said he plans to keep doing what he can to protect immigrants from aggressive, unlawful federal immigration enforcement operations.
