Protesters at Whipple Federal Building, Minneapolis, February

Protesters gathered outside the Whipple Federal Building in Minneapolis in February, a site that had become a focal point for demonstrations against Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) operations since December. The building served as a staging area for federal agents and a detention center for individuals apprehended during "Operation Metro Surge." Signs held by the crowd expressed opposition to ICE, with one reading "Abolish ICE" and another stating "ICE is Trump's Gestapo."
