Minneapolis Graffiti: “NO ICE GESTAPO” on Hennepin Ave

Graffiti reading "NO ICE GESTAPO" on a brick building along Hennepin Avenue in Minneapolis.
Graffiti reading "NO ICE GESTAPO" is spray-painted on a brick building along Hennepin Avenue in Minneapolis. The message, seen on January 16, 2026, appears to be a protest against the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agency, drawing a parallel between ICE's actions and the Gestapo, the secret police of Nazi Germany. This form of public expression often emerges during periods of heightened political tension surrounding immigration policy and enforcement.
