The Department of Homeland Security has launched what it calls the largest immigration enforcement operation in its history, deploying more than 2000 ICE agents across Minnesota. Federal officials say the operation is concentrated in the Twin Cities region, including Minneapolis and St Paul, and involves hundreds of investigators examining alleged fraud cases statewide. DHS confirmed that more than 1000 people have been arrested so far, including roughly 150 in Minneapolis.

Minneapolis is in an uproar after shocking footage emerged of ICE agents dragging a pregnant woman through the snow. Even the local Police Chief is speaking out against federal tactics. In a stunning escalation of tension in South Minneapolis, Police Chief Brian O’Hara has publicly blasted federal ICE agents following a chaotic street arrest. The viral video shows an agent kneeling on a pregnant woman in the snow while onlookers shout for her release. The situation turned even more disturbing when footage captured the woman being dragged by her arm across the street toward a vehicle. While ICE claims the stop turned violent due to "rioters" attacking agents with snowballs and chemical irritants, Chief O`Hara isn`t buying it. He has labeled the footage "profoundly disturbing" and an "egregious disregard for human dignity."
