Minneapolis: “Protect Our Somali Neighbors” Poster on Electrical Box

Posters advocating for immigrant rights and against Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) are affixed to electrical boxes on Hennepin Avenue in Uptown Minneapolis. One poster reads "Protect Our Somali Neighbors," while another states "Immigrants Are Not The Enemy" and "Know Your Rights." These messages reflect local activism and community concerns surrounding immigration policies and enforcement, particularly in the context of operations like "Operation Metro Surge" which targeted immigrants in the region. The placement of these posters on public infrastructure serves as a form of street art and protest, aiming to raise awareness and encourage civic engagement among residents.
