Federal Agents at Minneapolis Speedway, Jan 21 2026

Federal agents, including members of the Border Patrol Tactical Unit (BORTAC), are seen outside a Speedway gas station in South Minneapolis on January 21, 2026. This presence occurred during "Operation Metro Surge," a multi-agency law enforcement operation targeting illegal immigration and related criminal activity in the region. The operation involved federal, state, and local law enforcement agencies working collaboratively to address border security concerns and enforce immigration laws. The presence of heavily armed federal agents in a public space highlights the significant resources dedicated to such operations.
