Observer Records ICE in South Minneapolis

Observer records ICE agents at a Speedway in South Minneapolis during Operation Metro Surge in February 2021.
During Operation Metro Surge in South Minneapolis, an observer records U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents outside a Speedway gas station. The operation, which took place in February 2021, involved ICE and Border Patrol Tactical Unit (BORTAC) agents targeting undocumented immigrants in the Twin Cities. The presence of observers documenting law enforcement activities, particularly those involving federal immigration agencies, became more common during this period. This image highlights the tension and scrutiny surrounding immigration enforcement actions in urban environments.
