Minneapolis tells residents to stop building anti-ICE barricades, but they keep popping up
Minneapolis officials are urging residents not to block traffic as neighbors build makeshift checkpoints to slow and track federal immigration agents.
A new grassroots effort to track and slow down federal agents in the Twin Cities has turned into a game of cat and mouse — organized residents erect makeshift blockades to monitor the vehicles on their streets, and police officers tear them down.
One such blockade, constructed along the busy commercial corridor of Lyndale Avenue in south Minneapolis, was quickly taken apart by police on Feb. 7.

Blockade organizers say they want to slow down any federal agents that may be rolling through and keep track of their whereabouts by checking for license plates associated with Immigration and Customs Enforcement.
A few blocks away from the dismantled site on Lyndale, in a roundabout on Pillsbury Avenue, a small group of neighbors had been able to stay for much of the day Saturday — even after multiple conversations with police — by confining themselves to the island in the center of the street.
