We are proud to be a city that welcomes and supports immigrant and refugee communities. We condemn hateful language or actions towards immigrants and refugees, or anyone who calls Minneapolis home. We acknowledge the public's constitutional right to free expression & peaceful, lawful demonstrations

Everyone has constitutional protections—regardless of immigration status. If ICE comes to your home: keep the door closed. Ask to see a judicial warrant signed by a judge with the correct name/address (through a window or slid under the door). No judge-signed warrant = you can refuse entry.

In light of the recent ICE involved shooting in our ward, we are continuing our demand for ICE to leave our cities and state! We are all feeling the negative impact this is having on all of us in the entire community and state. Please see attachments for resources and share!

We’re suing the federal government to end its unconstitutional and dangerous immigration enforcement presence in Minneapolis. The excessive force, racial profiling and enforcement at schools, churches, and hospitals must end. https://www.youtube.com/shorts/q9W3W7vftog

Recent reports of ICE activity include detaining or arresting U.S. citizens. If this happens to you or someone you know, learn about your rights, how to report what happened, and where to get help. ➜ https://bit.ly/4qlTdkn

We, along with the State and City of Saint Paul, are suing the Trump Administration to end its unconstitutional and dangerous “Operation Metro Surge”, which is creating chaos, degrading safety and violating civil rights in our city.

With multiple federal agencies in town, know what City of Minneapolis uniforms look like. City staff will not ask your immigration status. MPD officers do not mask to hide their identity.
