Minneapolis Mutual-Aid Networks Support Immigrants Amid ICE Surge
More than 3,400 arrests have occurred during the largest ICE operation ever, prompting community networks to provide food, legal aid, and rapid alerts to protect immigrants.
- On Jan. 23, 2026, Minneapolis mutual-aid networks mobilized across the Twin Cities to support and warn immigrant neighbors amid a large ICE enforcement surge deploying at least 2,000 officers and 1,000 Border Patrol agents.
- After a surge that began in December and accelerated in early January, community organizing intensified following the Jan. 7 killing of Renee Good and the killing of Alex Pretti.
- Rapid-Response volunteers track convoys using Signal, record plates, sound warnings, and mutual-aid groups deliver food and drive people to work, supporting more than 480 families amid rising needs this past week.
- Clashes between volunteers, protesters and federal agents have involved tear gas, pepper spray and arrests, while immigrant patients avoid medical care, schools see children staying home, and local immigrant-run businesses shorten hours.
- Mutual aid leaders describe care as resistance that will persist through shifts in enforcement leadership, with volunteers who 'commute' daily to patrol neighborhoods despite Gregory Bovino's transfer.
