Anti-ICE Posters at Via’s Vintage, Uptown Minneapolis

Posters expressing solidarity with immigrants are displayed in the windows of the vacant Via's Vintage storefront on Hennepin Avenue in Uptown Minneapolis. The messages, "ICE CAN'T BREAK U.S." and "AMERICA STANDS WITH MINNESOTA," appeared in February 2026, a period marked by increased federal immigration enforcement activity in the city, including "Operation Metro Surge." The storefront, which had been empty for years before its recent purchase, became a canvas for local dissent against federal immigration policies.
