Recent federal law enforcement operations at various restaurants in Minneapolis have led to widespread protests and concerns among local officials and community members. One of eight search warrants executed across the Twin Cities specifically targeted a restaurant on Lake Street, prompting fears of an ICE raid amid the presence of federal officers in tactical gear. This resulted in significant chaos and confusion in the area, with protesters clashing with law enforcement. Minneapolis leaders, including Mayor Jacob Frey and Attorney General Keith Ellison, stated that the raids were not related to immigration enforcement, despite community fears and misinformation. Protests erupted with demonstrators expressing solidarity with immigrants and denouncing federal actions, while some individuals were arrested for alleged assaults during these chaotic events.
