Minneapolis Protest Sign: Think While It Is Still Legal

A handmade sign reading "THINK while it is still LEGAL and Speak" is affixed to a chain-link fence in Minneapolis on January 13, 2026. The sign appeared during a period of protests and public discourse surrounding Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) operations in the city, specifically referencing "Operation Metro Surge." The message reflects concerns about potential restrictions on free speech and the right to protest during heightened enforcement actions.
