Federal agents surround south Minneapolis restaurant

The Minneapolis Police Department posted on its X account that it was not involved with any immigration enforcement effort but that its officers were on hand for crowd control. Police Chief Brian O’Hara was at the scene.

“There were multiple federal law enforcement agencies involved, and after the fact they called for help because of the crowd. And so we monitored it and at the end, when they were trying to leave, there were people preventing them from leaving,” O’Hara said at the scene. “This was not immigration enforcement from what they’ve told me. This was a federal search warrant related to some very serious charges, and it’s related to a larger investigation that’s going on not just in Minneapolis.”

The Hennepin County Sheriff’s Office said in a statement that it “partnered” with federal agents to help execute search warrants.
