flag A federal ICE raid in St. Paul, involving a fatal shooting and warrantless arrests, has triggered fear in Minnesota’s Hmong community, disrupting lives and businesses.

flag St. Paul Mayor Kaohly Her, the city’s first Hmong American and first female mayor, says a recent ICE enforcement operation has sparked widespread fear in Minnesota’s Hmong community, leading residents to avoid public spaces, close businesses, and keep children indoors. flag The crackdown, which included the fatal shooting of a U.S. citizen and the warrantless arrest of a naturalized citizen, has prompted allegations of racial profiling and aggressive tactics, despite federal claims the actions targeted undocumented immigrants with criminal records. flag Her reports a sharp drop in economic activity, with some vendors losing 60% to 70% of business, and says even American citizens and long-time residents feel unsafe, with trauma echoing past refugee experiences.
