Liberian man arrested in Minneapolis raid was regularly checking in with authorities, lawyer says
The arrest occurred during the region's largest immigration enforcement operation with over 2,000 arrests since December, amid ongoing legal challenges over the warrant used.
- On Sunday, immigration agents used a battering ram to arrest Garrison Gibson, a Liberian man, at his Minneapolis home amid unrest following the shooting of Renee Good last week.
- More than 2,000 immigration arrests have been made in Minnesota since early December, and Gibson had been ordered removed over a 2008 third-degree narcotics conviction that was later dismissed.
- Legal details show administrative warrants do not permit forced entry, attorney Marc Prokosch said, while activists at the scene banged drums and Associated Press video documented agents pushing and pepper-spraying demonstrators.
- After the arrest, Gibson was flown to Texas and then returned by court order, and he is currently held at an Albert Lea immigration detention center, according to ICE detainee locator.
- City and state officials have rejected DHS explanations and urged the public to share video and other evidence as Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem said additional federal agents will be sent to Minnesota.
