Universities in the Twin Cities moved some instruction online, added campus escorts and increased security after federal immigration operations and protests escalated in Minneapolis. Institutions responded to a surge of federal agents and two recent fatal shootings during enforcement activity by adjusting class modalities and student supports. University leaders issued statements calling for calm and safety while balancing pressures from state officials, alumni, faculty and students. The operational changes—temporary remote instruction, visitor controls and coordinated security—signal growing institutional strain as campuses manage community grief, legal scrutiny and potential impacts on enrollment and staff safety.
