St. Paul Mayor Demands ICE Leave Minnesota After Federal Agents’ Pursuit Ends in Multi-Car Crash

HeadlineFeb 12, 2026

In Minnesota, St. Paul Mayor Kaohly Her has renewed her call for an end to Operation Metro Surge and for over 2,000 federal agents to leave the Twin Cities, after a car crash involving federal agents Wednesday sent one person to the hospital and damaged several vehicles.

Meanwhile, human rights lawyers who visited the Whipple Federal Building in Minneapolis said immigrants jailed there are continuing to be denied access to legal counsel. In court declarations filed Wednesday, the lawyers said people arrested by ICE were provided with the wrong phone numbers for legal services and that ICE agents gave no privacy to people calling lawyers, in violation of attorney-client privilege.
