ICE raided Minnesota targeting undocumented immigrants amid Trump’s push for stricter immigration and threats of tariffs on Europe.

On January 18, 2026, ICE conducted intensified raids in Minnesota targeting undocumented immigrants, part of a broader enforcement push linked to former President Donald Trump’s renewed advocacy for strict immigration policies. Simultaneously, Trump threatened new tariffs on European goods, citing national security and trade imbalances, while reiterating his interest in purchasing Greenland, a Danish territory. The actions sparked concern over civil liberties, community trust, and potential diplomatic strain, though no formal negotiations or status changes were confirmed.
