Minneapolis Protest Sign Against ICE Operation Metro Surge

A protestor holds a sign reading "WE BEAT EM BEFORE WE'LL BEAT EM AGAIN!!!" during a protest against Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) Operation Metro Surge in Minneapolis. The sign features a drawing of ICE agents, some appearing to be armed. The protest took place in an urban environment, with bare trees and decorative lights visible in the background, suggesting a winter or late autumn event. Operation Metro Surge was a series of ICE enforcement actions across the country, and protests like this one reflect local opposition to federal immigration policies and enforcement tactics.
