A Liberian man, Garrison Gibson, who was initially arrested in Minneapolis by immigration agents using a battering ram to enter his home on January 11, 2026, has been taken back into custody after a federal judge previously ordered his release. Gibson's attorney stated he had been regularly checking in with federal authorities for years. The initial arrest and subsequent immigration enforcement actions have sparked protests in Minneapolis, with demonstrators gathering to protest the federal immigration crackdown. Tensions in the city are heightened following the fatal shooting of a woman by an immigration agent and the shooting of a man by a federal officer after being attacked. President Trump had threatened to deploy troops to quell the protests.
