Minneapolis Tensions Rise as Federal Agents Face Aggressive Resistance

Operation Metro Surge Targets Illegal Immigrants with Criminal Records

In Minneapolis, federal immigration agents are grappling with a challenging situation. They've encountered violent confrontations, including cars ramming into agents. This alarming event occurred twice in a row, with both suspects apprehended. A regular car was also struck during one of these incidents.

Operation Metro Surge: Targeting Dangerous Criminals

These incidents are part of a larger operation called Metro Surge, aimed at criminals in the country illegally. Agents emphasize they are focusing on dangerous individuals, such as murderers and rapists, and insist their actions are not random or politically motivated.

Local Leaders Criticize the Operation

However, not everyone supports this operation. Local leaders, including the governor and mayor, have strongly criticized it. Agents claim such rhetoric is making their job more difficult. They also expressed disagreement with protesters who recently disrupted a church service.

Agents Defend Their Actions

The agents maintain they are acting legally and morally, attributing most confrontations to troublemakers rather than ordinary people. Meanwhile, an investigation is underway into the death of a woman during a similar operation last month. The agent involved is recovering at home, but it remains unclear if he is still part of the operation.

Local Officials Remain Silent

Local officials have not commented on these recent events. The situation remains complex, with diverse opinions fueling the debate.
