Calls grow for investigation after ICE attacks protesters
A 41-year-old Salvadoran man died at the Delaney Hall ICE detention center.
By May 2026, protests against mass deportation had resulted in two deaths by federal forces in Minneapolis, one death in ICE custody, and over 200 protesters injured by less-lethal munitions.
The League of Women Voters published a blog describing ICE agents carrying out stops, detentions, and arrests, and using physical force against civilians, including peaceful protestors.
A report by ACLED found that physical confrontations at pro-migration protests are more than four times as likely in states where ICE is conducting major operations.
