A sign posted on a business in Minneapolis reads "NO ICE ENTER WITHOUT COURT ORDER." This notice, along with a "STOP NO ICE ACCESS IN THIS BUSINESS" sticker, indicates the business's stance on Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) access. Such signs became more prevalent in communities concerned about immigration enforcement actions, particularly following events like Operation Metro Surge in 2006 and ongoing debates surrounding immigration policy. The business, located on Lake Street, likely posted these signs to assert private property rights and to prevent ICE agents from entering without a judicial warrant, reflecting a broader tension between local businesses and federal immigration enforcement.
