""There's less smoke on the ground," Gov. Tim Walz said, referring to tear gas and other irritants used by officers against protesters, "but I think it's more chilling than it was last week because of the shift to the schools, the shift to the children." At least one person who had an anti-ICE message on clothing was handcuffed while face-down on the ground. An Associated Press photographer witnessed the arrests."
"Federal agents in the Twin Cities lately have been conducting more targeted immigration arrests at homes and neighborhoods, rather than staging in parking lots. The convoys have been harder to find and less aggressive. Alerts in activist group chats have been more about sightings than immigration-related detainments. Several cars followed officers through south Minneapolis after there were reports of them knocking at homes."
Immigration officers in Minneapolis arrested activists who were trailing their vehicles, and education leaders reported anxiety and fear in Minnesota schools due to ongoing federal sweeps. Tension persisted after leadership changes in border enforcement and the fatal shooting of Alex Pretti. Officials used tear gas and other irritants against protesters earlier, and at least one person wearing an anti-ICE message was handcuffed face-down. Federal agents shifted to targeted arrests at homes and neighborhoods, making convoys harder to locate. Activists followed agents in vehicles, encounters escalated, reporters were warned, and a judge's limit on stopping nonobstructing followers was later set aside on appeal.
