Her said St. Paul residents have reported ICE agents using racial profiling tactics to make arrests.

"We've received reports of federal law enforcement officers going door-to-door asking people where the Asian people live right in our very own city," Her said. "I myself have received advice to carry my passport with me because they may try to target me based on what I look like as well."

The St. Paul mayor was born in Laos and is the first woman, Asian American and Hmong American to serve in the role.

As for living and working in St. Paul, Her said residents are scared. Business owners in the city have reportedly reached out for help after sales have dropped up to 60%, according to Her.
