In Minneapolis, federal immigration agents are dealing with a tough situation. They've been facing violent confrontations, including cars ramming into agents. This happened not just once, but twice in a row, with both suspects getting caught. A regular car also got hit during one of these incidents. These events are part of a bigger operation called Metro Surge. It's supposed to target criminals who are in the country illegally. The agents say they're focusing on people who are dangerous, like murderers and rapists. They insist their actions are not random or political.
But not everyone is happy about this operation. Local leaders, like the governor and the mayor, have been using strong words against it. The agents say this kind of talk is making things more difficult for them. They also mentioned that protesters recently disrupted a church service, which they strongly disagree with. The agents say they're doing their job in a legal and moral way. They believe most of the confrontations are caused by troublemakers, not regular people. Meanwhile, there's an investigation going on about the death of a woman during a similar operation last month. The agent involved is recovering at home, but it's not clear if he's still part of the operation. Local officials haven't commented on these recent events. It's a complicated situation with lots of different opinions.
