Hundreds of anti-ICE leftists, including approximately 100 clergy members, stormed the Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport (MSP) on Friday, leading to mass arrests and major disruptions for travelers.
The protest against the ICE operations in Minnesota was quite large, even though the temperature was below zero.

According to reports, the agitators blocked access points and infuriated passengers already facing uncertain travel due to the approaching storm and frigid weather.
Far-left religious activist group “Faith in Minnesota” posted a video of members being arrested, claiming “over 100 clergy and faith leaders were arrested,” during the stunt.

The organization wrote in one of the posts:
“In -20° weather, over 100 clergy and faith leaders were arrested at MSP Airport as they gathered in peaceful, prayerful resistance to demand airlines — especially Delta and Signature Aviation — stand with Minnesotans and say #ICEOutOfMN.
Over 2,000 deportations have gone through MSP. Workers have been detained by ICE at work and while commuting. This must end.”
Law enforcement confirmed to Fox 9 that over 100 people were arrested but have since been released.
Fox 9 reports:
Those arrested were issued misdemeanor citations for trespassing and failure to comply with a peace officer, according to a Metropolitan Airport Commission (MAC) spokesperson.
The Metropolitan Airports Commission told FOX 9 it “worked in advance with event organizers to best accommodate their right to freedom of expression while also ensuring uninterrupted operations at MSP Airport. The approved demonstration permit set a dedicated location and maximum number of participants to maintain the safety of protesters, passengers and airport employees.
“When the permitted activity went beyond the agreed-upon terms, MSP Airport Police began taking necessary action, including arrests, to protect public safety, airport security and access to Terminal 1.”
Ahead of Friday morning’s protest, airlines were encouraging travelers to get to the airport at least three hours before their flight due to planned demonstrations outside the airport.
The demonstration was tied to ongoing protests against ICE’s “Operation Metro Surge,” a targeted crackdown that has led to the arrest of numerous criminal illegal aliens in the Twin Cities area, including pedophiles, domestic abusers, and gang members.
