Protesters erect a filter blockade on Cedar Avenue in Minneapolis opposing ICE operations.

On February 1, 2026, protesters in South Minneapolis established "filter blockades" on Cedar Avenue as part of Operation Metro Surge. These makeshift structures, resembling roundabouts, were erected to facilitate community organizing and monitor traffic in opposition to Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) operations. Signs such as "ICE OUT MSP" clearly communicated the local sentiment against ICE's presence in the city. Find more photos like this on my Operation Metro Surge: Ice in Minneapolis page.
