US EditionAnti-ICE 'Activists' Putting Up Checkpoints in Minneapolis
Local activists and neighbors established makeshift checkpoints in south Minneapolis to deter ICE vehicles, logging license plates and demanding IDs before city crews cleared the blockades.
- Reported by CBS Minnesota, South Minneapolis residents set up a makeshift roadblock at 32nd Street & Cedar Ave to oppose ICE activity.
- Anger in the city has grown after recent deadly enforcement actions, as two demonstrators were killed last month protesting President Donald Trump’s immigration policies and the FBI investigates both killings.
- Organizing informally, local volunteers began sharing responsibility for the block as neighbors kept watch for unfamiliar cars, brought food, and Wade Haynes, Minneapolis resident, stood outside twice daily to protect children.
- Citing public safety, city officials said they cleared debris and removed homemade roadblocks on Cedar Ave, a high-traffic roadway, to ensure emergency vehicle access.
- As a federal response, DHS will deploy body cameras for ICE officers in Minneapolis, with plans to expand nationwide as funding allows.
