The FBI’s Minneapolis Field Office issued a statement on Wednesday saying it’s “executing search and arrest warrants this morning throughout the Twin Cities area in connection with a violent drug trafficking organization.”
The agency said there’s no known threat to public safety. It did not give further details on the operation — but said additional information would be provided later in the day.
The announcement came amid still-heightened tensions in the Twin Cities metro area and across Minnesota from the surge of federal immigration agents in recent months.
