Federal Agents Deploying To Minneapolis For Immigration Crackdown
The move could involve around 2,000 agents and officers from ICE's deportation branch and Homeland Security Investigations.
The Trump administration is deploying hundreds of Department of Homeland Security agents to Minneapolis.
The move is part of its federal crackdown. It could involve around 2,000 agents and officers from ICE’s deportation branch and Homeland Security Investigations, the agency’s investigative arm tasked with fighting transnational crimes.
Officials did not publicly specify what the operations will include but the plans is for the agents and officers to oversee a 30-day surge in operations in the twin cities area, making the region the first major target of the Trump administration’s expanded immigration crackdown of 2026 so far.
The move marks an escalation in crackdowns and greatly expands the federal law enforcement footprint in Minnesota at a time of reportedly heightened political and community tension.
