In Minneapolis, January 2026, residents are providing safe houses for immigrant children who have been separated from their parents or are being sought by federal immigration agents. This action comes amidst a surge of over 2,000 federal agents in the city conducting an immigration crackdown, which has led to clashes with protesters. Volunteers, including some who previously voted for Trump, are working to covertly disrupt the operation by relocating children to protect them from potential detention. One instance involves children fleeing their home to avoid immigration enforcement, while another involves a 5-month-old baby whose mother was detained. The organization "Source MN" is also involved in hiding children whose parents have been detained.
