During her visit to the Twin Cities, Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem addressed immigration enforcement and ICE operations, highlighting the removal of over 4,300 migrants from Minneapolis this year. While she touted the effectiveness of these operations, including arrests of serious offenders, her visit was met with significant protests. Many activists rallied against the increased ICE presence in Minnesota, expressing concerns over the implications for undocumented immigrants. Noem indicated that more ICE agents could be expected in the area, further intensifying the debate over immigration policies in the state.
