Man freed after Minneapolis immigration raid says he now fears leaving home

On Jan. 11, video showed federal officers battering Garrison Gibson's Minneapolis door amid the Trump administration's crackdown, with Gibson flown to a Texas immigration detention facility then returned home.
The Department of Homeland Security called the Minnesota operation its largest yet, deploying more than 2,000 federal officers, while Gibson faced deportation due to a 2008 drug conviction and remains under an order of supervision.
Then Gibson was taken back into custody Friday during a routine check-in; Abena Abraham, Gibson's cousin, said Immigration and Customs Enforcement told her White House Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller ordered the re-arrest, which the White House denied.
At a news conference, Gibson said `I don't leave the house`, noted he has checked in for 17 years and his family spent $700 to fix the door after using a dumbbell to keep it closed.
The crackdown has stoked daily protests across the Twin Cities, including aggressive tactics and the Jan. 7 shooting of Renee Good, while a federal judge ruled officers cannot detain or tear gas peaceful protesters.
