Hundreds of people gathered for an impromptu protest downtown later on Sunday. Many there expressed anger and sadness about the immigration operation. Protesters repeatedly chanted: “No more Minnesota nice, Minneapolis will strike.”<\/p>\n

Among those chanting was Felix Johnson, who said he protested for the first time in his life a few weeks ago when he saw a video which appeared to show a four-year-old girl who was left in a car after her father was detained by ICE.<\/p>\n

He held a sign that read “ICE out”, while dozens of other posters in the crowd included profanities directed at immigration officials.<\/p>\n

“I don’t understand how they can come in and just start snatching people that are citizens and start treating them like they’re animals,” Johnson said.<\/p>\n

Few Minnesotans the BBC spoke to said they supported ICE operations, but several polls suggest, external<\/a> about half of voters nationwide support President Trump’s efforts to deport those living in the US illegally.<\/p>\n

Other polls indicate voters are split on how Trump is carrying out that crackdown on undocumented immigrants. One conducted by Politico, external<\/a> shortly after Renee Good’s death this month suggested about half of Americans felt the mass deportation campaign was too aggressive.<\/p>\n

At the protest in downtown Minneapolis on Sunday, one man held a sign that read “Veterans Against ICE”.<\/p>\n

“I joined [the military] to serve a country that, while never perfect, was a country that was improving, that was growing,” he said.<\/p>\n

“I joined to support the tenets of freedom of this country and what we’re seeing here, this is the opposite, this is not promoting freedom. This is horrifying.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Hundreds of people gathered for an impromptu protest downtown later on Sunday.
