Police arrest protesters at airport as Minnesota gears up for anti-immigration enforcement protest

Clergy were arrested for exceeding protest permit limits during a statewide mobilization against ICE enforcement, energizing thousands amid calls to end deportations and family separations.

  • On Friday, police arrested about 100 clergy outside Minneapolis–St. Paul International Airport while several thousand rallied in downtown Minneapolis to protest the Trump administration's immigration crackdown.
  • The protests stem from a broader movement against President Donald Trump's enforcement surge, with daily demonstrations since Jan. 7 after 37-year-old mother of three Renee Good was fatally shot.
  • Protesters marched about a mile through downtown Minneapolis to the indoor basketball arena despite minus 9 degrees Fahrenheit, with Sam Nelson skipping work to join the rally.
  • Organizers reported more than 700 businesses statewide closed in solidarity with the movement, part of a general strike and walkout backed by labor leaders and faith groups, and schools in the area also closed.
  • Rising public scrutiny surrounds enforcement as the Department of Homeland Security showed no signs of easing its surge in the Twin Cities, while an FBI supervisory agent in Minnesota resigned over the Justice Department's handling of the Renee Good investigation.
