As more than 2,000 federal agents surge in Minneapolis in an immigration crackdown and clash with protesters on the streets, countless residents are also quietly resisting the operation through grassroots networks sheltering and supporting immigrants. Former Trump supporter Feliza Martinez is rallying volunteers to support immigrant children with food, financial support and shelter. Earlier this month, Martinez relocated a family of 10 to a safe house in south Minneapolis after their Ecuadorian mother was detained for illegally entering the country in 2022. Federal agents have pursued her children, and the older siblings fear they will be separated from their 5-month-old U.S. citizen brother.
