MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — Immigration officers with guns drawn arrested activists who were trailing their vehicles on Tuesday in Minneapolis, while education leaders described anxiety and fear in Minnesota schools from the ongoing federal sweeps.
Both are signs that tension remains in the Minneapolis area after the departure of high-profile commander Greg Bovino of U.S. Border Patrol and the arrival of Trump administration border czar Tom Homan, which followed the fatal shooting of protester Alex Pretti.
“There’s less smoke on the ground,” Gov. Tim Walz said, referring to tear gas and other irritants used by officers against protesters, “but I think it’s more chilling than it was last week because of the shift to the schools, the shift to the children.”
At least one person who had an anti-ICE message on clothing was handcuffed while face-down on the ground. An Associated Press photographer witnessed the arrests.
ICE agents are changing their tactics
Federal agents in the Twin Cities lately have been conducting more targeted immigration arrests at homes and neighborhoods, rather than staging in parking lots. The convoys have been harder to find and less aggressive. Alerts in activist group chats have been more about sightings than immigration-related detainments.
Several cars followed officers through south Minneapolis after there were reports of them knocking at homes. Officers stopped their vehicles and ordered activists to come out of a car at gunpoint. Agents told reporters at the scene to stay back and threatened to use pepper spray.
Homeland Security spokesperson Tricia McLaughlin said agents detained the activists because they hindered efforts to arrest a man who is in the country illegally.
A federal judge last month put limits on how officers treat motorists who are following them but not obstructing their operations. Safely following agents “at an appropriate distance does not, by itself, create reasonable suspicion...

Good.
Now to arrest the Mayor and the Governor.
“Officers stopped their vehicles and ordered activists to come out of a car at gunpoint.”
.
Now THAT is more like it.
.
That’s what should have been happening to these stalkers.
ICE should either travel with crown control assistance, or have ready access to that sort of help.
That would be glorious to watch.
Agents should carry… wait for it… ICE picks… to flatten tires of vehicles that are harassing them.
The left is losing on this issue handily. That’s the problem with taking on opponents who are operating out of common sense: Reality rears its ugly head.
Minnesota seems to have an endless supply of these extreme leftwing whackos.
“agents detained the activists”
“Activists” — good old AP. Those bastards have as much or more criminal culpability as the people ICE is arresting. Hardly “activists.”
I would love to see a close up photo of those Activist faces, when the guns were drawn on them. Only then, did they realize ICE was on the job, and not at all concerned with being NICE.
Beat ‘em, burn em’, they go up pretty easily.
“Walz said, ‘I think it’s more chilling than it was last week because of the shift to the schools, the shift to the children.’”
They should go to places where they are unlikely to encounter children... like Minnesota daycare businesses.
I voted for this and more.
Why are we not seeing some Somalians frog-marched?
Was this guy actually going to work in January?
No idea.
I wonder if ICE can play their game too using local PD. Call 911 when they follow and report they are stalking you. Then. Get restraining orders.
Maybe it won’t do anything but when Tim is gone and there is a new police chief maybe they can then be arrested for violating a restraining order.
Wishful thinking.
That maggot doesn’t look like any “nurses” I’ve ever seen. He looks like some kind of retarded far left rioter. Saw a lot of MEDICS in the Army over the years. They all looked normal to me.
