Federal agents are seen outside the Whipple Federal Building in Minneapolis, Minnesota. The vehicle, marked "Defend The Homeland," belongs to Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), an agency within the Department of Homeland Security. The Whipple Federal Building houses various federal offices, including those related to immigration and law enforcement. The Whipple building is being used as a detention center and has been a place of protest since December 2025. Find more photos like this on my Operation Metro Surge: Ice in Minneapolis page.
