ICE Operation on Augsburg Campus Detains Student, University Says Agents Lacked Judicial Warrant

Minneapolis police acknowledged the activity.

Overview

  • Augsburg University says armed, masked ICE agents appeared outside a residence hall around 3–4 p.m. Saturday in Parking Lot B, with video showing armed individuals and unmarked SUVs leaving.
  • University officials report the agents did not produce a judicial warrant and aimed weapons at witnesses, including staff and students.
  • The university confirms a student was detained on campus and taken off campus.
  • Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O’Hara said the department was aware of the ICE activity and noted city policy routes such calls to civil enforcement under a new executive order restricting use of city-owned parking areas for immigration operations.
  • A legal expert told FOX 9 that ICE needs a judicial warrant to enter school buildings and that people generally are not required to provide information without one, while DHS has not released details about the operation.
