ICE Arrested Dozens of Refugees in Minnesota and Sent Them to Texas, Lawyers Say

ICE arrested nearly two dozen illegal immigrants convicted of violent crimes including rape and murder to prevent recidivism and enhance community safety, officials said.

  • This past week, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement announced arrests of dozens of migrants convicted of violent crimes in Minnesota and published photos and descriptions of those detained.
  • DHS surged over 2,400 agents to Minneapolis, and USCIS re-examined 5,600 refugees, with Noem saying, `As we uncover more of this criminal activity, we're going to continue to surge resources to make sure this abuse of government funds and government power no longer continues in Minnesota.`
  • Court records show several detainees have violent convictions including rape and kidnapping, while Laos-born Kou Lour was ordered removed in 1996 and Sriudorn Phaivan in 2018.
  • The fatal shooting of Renee Good has inflamed tensions and sparked backlash, with federal officials citing self-defense while state and local officials dispute that account.
  • Advocates report most detainees, estimated at least 100, are being transferred to Texas, while Roy says day 366 deportability is not the statute's usual interpretation for 1980 Refugee Program refugees.
