Minnesota Immigration Raids Face Federal Review as MLS Midfielder Voices Fear

Residents describe pervasive fear even for people carrying valid documents.

Overview

  • Minnesota United’s Joaquín Pereyra said he carries his Argentine passport and U.S. Green Card but worries they offer no protection, citing cases of documented people detained or mistreated.
  • His comments follow weeks of intensified enforcement in Minnesota that have drawn protests and public criticism from local communities.
  • During a recent raid, 37-year-old nurse Alex Jeffrey Pretti was shot dead while filming, according to reports, and the operation’s commander, Gregory Bovino, was removed after video evidence undercut his account.
  • The White House placed Tom Homan in direct supervision of the deployment, launched a federal review, and reduced the number of agents on the ground.
  • U.S. District Judge Patrick J. Schiltz ordered ICE chief Todd Lyons to appear in court to explain why detainees were not given hearings as previously directed.
