ICE Agents in Rochester, MN where I used to live.

As reported by a friend of mine in Rochester. She posted on FB that she saw them at a Mexican Grocery store close to where I used to live. They set up shop near the IBM buildings in NW part of the city.

I know of several Mexican restaurants I once was a customer of.

Nail Salons are operated by city residents from Vietnam.

Rochester has many Somalis there as well as people from Asian countries, India, Arab countries, etc.

ICE is targeting ANYONE who looks foreign and undocumented.

This hits home as I know of the many businesses ICE is targeting owned by Mexicans, Vietnamese, Asians, Muslims, from India, etc.

Because of the diversity of Rochester due to the Mayo Clinic, this is prime pickings for ICE and Kristi Noem.
