Federal immigration operations in Minneapolis have forced K‑12 districts and colleges to alter operations, increase virtual options, and offer legal and material support. Augsburg University’s president reported an atmosphere of anxiety after raids and deadly shootings tied to Operation Metro Surge; the institution expanded online sections and advised students to carry tribal or citizenship IDs. School officials in Fridley and other districts said they patrol for federal agents and provide groceries and legal help to affected families. District leaders described teachers and staff as more nervous, and some families said students opted for remote classes out of safety concerns. The wave of local enforcement has prompted calls for clearer protocols between campus safety, local police and federal agents and has sparked litigation and federal inquiries into use of force in recent incidents.
