Arrests at Minneapolis–Saint Paul Airport
At Minnesota’s largest airport, anti-ICE demonstrators are being arrested after, according to authorities, exceeding the conditions of their permit. The arrests are taking place amid a nationwide mobilization against the Trump administration’s immigration policy, which is continuing despite extreme cold. Labor unions, progressive groups, and religious organizations are calling on people to refrain from work, school, and shopping in protest of the intensified deployment of federal authorities in Minneapolis and St. Paul. According to organizers, around 100 clergy members are being arrested at the airport while protesting Delta Airlines’ involvement in deportations.

Thousands of demonstrators are streaming toward downtown Minneapolis to take part in a march and rally against federal authorities. They are waving signs reading “ICE OUT!”.
Anti-ICE protesters gathered at midday at the Fort-Snelling Metro station near the Whipple Federal Building in Minneapolis. As they marched on Minnehaha Avenue toward the highway, state law enforcement declared the assembly unlawful. The group then dispersed without incident.
In front of Minneapolis–Saint Paul Airport, demonstrators – including religious groups – are blocking the access road under the slogan “no work (except for emergency services), no school and no shopping”.
