The 2026 Minnesota ICE protests were large-scale protests held on January 23, 2026 across the state of Minnesota in opposition to expanded federal Immigration and Customs Enforcement operations and the Donald Trump administration's mass deportation policies. The protests emerged amid a period of escalating federal immigration enforcement in Minnesota that preceded and continued through January 2026. Tensions rose after the Trump administration significantly increased funding and deployed thousands of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and other federal agents statewide as part of Operation Metro Surge, drawing sustained criticism from local leaders and activists. Public outrage intensified following the fatal shooting of Renée Good by ICE agent Jonathan Ross on January 7, and further escalated as Minnesota officials and community members decried the lack of criminal accountability for Ross and the broader federal operation.
