In a series of recent operations, Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) has arrested numerous individuals in Minnesota, focusing on those with serious criminal backgrounds, including murders and child-related offenses. Over the weekend, ICE removed several high-priority offenders, asserting that many of these criminals had previously been allowed to remain free due to state policies. The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has criticized Minnesota Governor Tim Walz for allegedly releasing hundreds of criminal immigrants, prompting demands for local leaders to honor ICE detainers. The extensive sweep has seen a total of more than 2,000 arrests related to violent crimes, underscoring the ongoing tensions surrounding immigration enforcement in the state.
