Minnesota Now continues to cover escalating encounters between immigration law enforcement and Minnesotans. We have team coverage from MPR News, tracking all aspects of this operation. Including an on-the-ground report from our journalists documenting ICE.
We talked with people who have had various encounters with immigration agents, including two observers who were detained for more than eight hours and a Somali American Uber driver who went viral for his confrontation with border patrol.
We also heard from an expert from the ACLU about what to do if you encounter ICE.
Plus, a woman shares her experience being pulled over by ICE and how an observer on the sidewalk helped her remain calm during the intense experience.
Use the audio player above to listen to the full conversation.
