Minneapolis Filter Blockade on S Cedar Ave Protests ICE

Protesters at a filter blockade on S Cedar Ave in Minneapolis protest ICE operations.
Protesters at a filter blockade on S Cedar Ave in Minneapolis protest ICE operations.

On February 1, 2026, residents of South Minneapolis established a "filter blockade" on Cedar Avenue, creating a roundabout-like structure. This protest aimed to strategize against the presence and operations of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) in the area. The blockade also served to monitor traffic entering the neighborhood, reflecting community efforts to organize and resist immigration enforcement actions. The event highlights local activism and community organizing in response to federal immigration policies. Find more photos like this on my Operation Metro Surge: Ice in Minneapolis page.
