'Standing up for Freedom': Minneapolis Proud of Peaceful ICE Protests
Protesters demand an end to Immigration and Customs Enforcement operations following two civilian deaths, with tens of thousands joining peaceful demonstrations amid freezing temperatures.
- On January 30, 2026, tens of thousands of protesters gathered in Minneapolis under the 'National Shutdown' banner with no arrests or injuries reported, police said.
- The deaths of individuals and federal raids prompted protests in Minneapolis, with daily demonstrations at the Whipple federal building preceding the recent mobilization.

- Political statements surrounding the deaths helped draw wider attention, as President Donald Trump criticized Pretti and protesters called officials 'the criminals at large'.
- Drawing on the city's post-2020 unrest, protesters linked their mobilization to the George Floyd protests and highlighted grassroots organisations supporting migrant communities with groceries and protections.
