Protest in Minnesota: Thousands of People Demonstrate against ICE Operations in Minnesota
Hundreds of businesses across the Twin Cities shut their doors on Friday as part of a coordinated protest against the presence of federal immigration agents in Minnesota. The closures came as thousands of demonstrators filled the streets of downtown Minneapolis, voicing opposition to the ongoing Operation Metro Surge enforcement effort.

The protest, described by organizers as a “Day of Truth and Freedom,” called on community members to pause daily activities, urging residents to refrain from work, school, and shopping for the day. The action was intended to show solidarity with immigrant communities and highlight concerns over heightened immigration enforcement.
Several small business owners said the temporary closures were a message to elected officials, pressing them to take steps to limit the operations of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) within the state.
Demonstrators gathered outside U.S. Bank Stadium before marching through downtown Minneapolis to the Target Center. The march concluded with a large rally held inside the arena, where speakers addressed the crowd and called for policy changes at the local and federal levels.
Organizers said the turnout reflected growing concern within the community and vowed to continue advocating for immigrant rights through peaceful demonstrations and civic engagement.
