ICE Raids Ended, but Fear Remains in Minneapolis

Six months after the Trump administration’s immigration crackdown ended, Minneapolis is still feeling the impact. Many residents say they continue to live in fear, despite the halt of the high-profile ICE raids. The operations, which targeted undocumented immigrants, left deep emotional scars in local communities. Families now report avoiding public spaces, schools, and even hospitals, fearing that enforcement actions could resume at any time. Community leaders emphasize that the psychological toll persists, with trust in authorities still broken. The situation underscores how the end of a policy does not always mean the end of its consequences.
