JUST NOW: Several ICE agents arrived at the home of a family in Uptown Minneapolis, they went inside without a warrant and grabbed an entire family including an elderly woman. Outside the house, protesters screamed and shouted at the agents. They have been following them and documenting their every move in Minneapolis.
Tensions flared in the Uptown neighborhood of Minneapolis this morning as U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents entered a private residence and detained an entire family, including an elderly woman, during a targeted immigration enforcement operation.
Eyewitness videos circulating on social media show several masked federal agents arriving at the home and proceeding inside.
Protesters quickly gathered outside, shouting slogans such as “Go back to Texas!” and accusing the agents of overreach.
Community members have been actively tracking and documenting ICE movements across the city in recent days, using whistles and cellphones to alert residents and record operations.
The incident is the latest flashpoint in a massive federal immigration crackdown that has gripped the Twin Cities since early January.
The Department of Homeland Security deployed thousands of agents to Minneapolis as part of what officials have called the agency’s largest enforcement operation ever, focusing on individuals with deportation orders and criminal histories.
Federal authorities have reported hundreds of arrests in the area, emphasizing the removal of serious offenders.

Local advocates and residents, however, have criticized the tactics, alleging warrantless or aggressive entries in some cases and highlighting the disruption to families and communities.
The raid comes amid heightened emotions following the fatal shooting of 37-year-old U.S. citizen Renee Nicole Good by an ICE agent earlier this week during a separate enforcement action, which sparked widespread protests, vigils, and calls from city officials for ICE to leave Minneapolis.
No official statement from ICE was immediately available regarding the Uptown detention, including whether a judicial warrant was used to enter the home.
Immigrant rights groups urged anyone witnessing similar actions to document them and contact legal observers.
The operation has divided the city, with supporters praising it as necessary enforcement and critics warning of civil rights concerns and family separations.
Protests are expected to continue as federal activity shows no signs of slowing.
