Minneapolis ICE Raid Ignites Protest: Community Outraged

Minneapolis ICE Raid Sparks Protest: Tensions Rise as Law Enforcement Detains Individuals A protest erupted in Minneapolis, Minnesota on Tuesday, June 4, 2025, during what appeared to be an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) raid. Videos circulating on social media show a large number of law enforcement officers, including agents from the FBI and ATF, detaining individuals on Lake Street. The incident drew a significant crowd of neighbors and activists who expressed anger and frustration. "Look what you're doing to the people!" shouted one protestor, capturing the emotional intensity of the scene. Another individual, recalling a similar event, stated, "They did this [CENSORED] five years ago up in this neighborhood. Now they're back." The video depicts protestors confronting law enforcement, and the use of tear gas is also visible. While Hennepin County and Minneapolis officials stated the raid was unrelated to immigration enforcement, the presence of ICE agents and the strong reaction from the community highlight the ongoing tensions surrounding immigration policy in the area. The event underscores the need for continued dialogue and understanding regarding immigration issues in Minnesota.
