From Daily Mail:
Federal law enforcement officers raided a taco restaurant in Minneapolis on Tuesday morning, triggering chaos on the streets and frenzied protests.
The search warrant being executed was for drugs and money laundering – but no arrests were ultimately made after local activists stormed the streets in protest.
Minneapolis Police said officers were called to the scene to assist with crowd control.
🚨 BREAKING: St. Paul ICE along with DHS, FBI, Hennepin County Sheriff’s Office, and the Minneapolis Police Department are doing a coordinated bust as we speak this morning.
All of this in spite of Minneapolis being a Sanctuary City.

“After a federal law enforcement operation was already underway, a crowd began to form, and MPD officers arrived to ensure the crowd and the surrounding area remained safe,” the department posted on X. “A federal criminal search warrant for drugs and money laundering was executed today in the area of Lake St & Bloomington Ave. Multiple federal agencies were involved.
“There were no arrests at the scene by federal law enforcement executing the search warrant.”
Here’s what we know: MPD was NOT involved in any immigration enforcement activities today, nor were we given advance notice of any such operation. Any claims to the contrary are false.
