Minneapolis Protest: “Stop traumatizing our students!”

Protesters gathered in Minneapolis on a day with sub-zero windchills to oppose the actions of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). One participant held a sign stating, "Stop traumatizing our students! Kids can't learn in fear," highlighting concerns about the impact of immigration enforcement on the educational environment. The protest occurred during Operation Metro Surge, a period of increased ICE activity in the region. The demonstration took place on Lake Street, a major thoroughfare in Minneapolis.
