Observer Records ICE in South Minneapolis

During Operation Metro Surge in South Minneapolis, an observer records U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents outside a Speedway gas station. The operation, which took place in February 2021, involved ICE and Border Patrol Tactical Unit (BORTAC) agents targeting undocumented immigrants in the Twin Cities. The presence of observers documenting law enforcement activities, particularly those involving federal immigration agencies, became more common during this period.
