2,400 Have Been Arrested by Immigration Officials in Twin Cities Since Operation Metro Surge Began, DHS Says

Since Operation Metro Surge began, federal immigration officials have arrested 2,400 people, NBC News reports.

That new number comes from Department of Homeland Security Assistant Secretary for Public Affairs Tricia McLaughlin. On Monday, McLaughlin said on X that sanctuary politicians are the reason that DHS surged into Minnesota.

Operation Metro Surge began on Nov. 29, and on Jan. 5, more than 2,000 additional ICE agents were deployed to Minnesota, according to reporting by NBC News. That deployment of additional agents was set to focus on investigating fraud allegations following a viral video centered on Somali-run day care centers.

KARE 11 has been extensively covering the arrests of people by federal agents. A State Representative told KARE 11 that two Target employees in Richfield, U.S. citizens, were injured during an arrest last week. Jana Shortal spoke with two observers who say their car windows were smashed when they were arrested and taken into ICE detention. On Dec. 17, six Twin Cities residents filed a federal class action lawsuit against Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Neom, arguing an “unprecedented attack on civil liberties.”
