Minneapolis

US immigration agents deployed pepper spray against protesters in Minneapolis after residents blocked their vehicles during an operation targeting Somali immigrants. The city, which has the largest Somali community in the US, was the focus of a recent mass deportation effort by the Trump administration.

Federal agents launched the operation last week, but less than half of those detained are Somali. President Trump's recent remarks criticizing Somali immigrants have been condemned by state officials, who have pledged to support the community.

Minneapolis protests erupt over ICE operation targeting Somalis

US immigration agents used pepper spray against protesters in Minneapolis on Tuesday as residents blocked the officers' vehicles, forcing them to leave the area. Minneapolis is home to the nation's largest Somali community and is the latest city targeted by the Trump administration for mass deportation. Federal agents launched an enforcement operation last week focused on Somali immigrants living unlawfully in the US, but fewer than half of those who've been detained are Somali. In a recent tirade against Somali immigrants, President Trump called them garbage and said they contribute nothing to the country. Trump's attack was triggered by reports of fraud in social security programs in Minnesota. State officials have denounced Trump's rhetoric and pledged to protect the Somali community.
