An ICE official said federal agents are carrying out an ongoing operation in Minnesota focused on arresting dangerous criminal illegal aliens to prevent further harm to local communities, pushing back against what he described as efforts by politicians, activists, and the media to create fear and confusion.
Marcos Charles said the operation is centered on public safety and removing individuals with serious criminal histories from Minnesota communities.
He criticized what he described as deliberate chaos driven by sanctuary politicians and activists, arguing that it undermines community trust and obscures the purpose of enforcement actions.

“When sanctuary politicians, activists and the media work hard to create chaos and fear instead of using their platforms to reassure their communities, this is the result,” Charles said.
Charles said the goal of the operation is straightforward: arrest criminal illegal aliens so they cannot continue to victimize innocent people.
He said the effort has been ongoing throughout the week and has already resulted in thousands of arrests statewide.
“The reality is, and this is what commander Bovino and I have been talking about all week. All week, we’re out here to arrest dangerous criminal illegal aliens so they can’t victimize innocent people in our communities anymore,” Charles said.

According to Charles, since the beginning of the operation, ICE has arrested more than 3,400 illegal aliens in Minnesota, including three recent arrests tied to violent and serious crimes.
He said those taken into custody include criminals, gang members, and terrorists who are now being detained by ICE for removal from the country.
“Since the beginning of this operation, we’ve arrested three, over 3400 illegal aliens, removing criminals, gang members and terrorists out of Minnesota communities, detaining them in ICE custody for removal from the country,” Charles said.
He said those removals are designed to permanently stop repeat offenses and prevent future victims, emphasizing that the consequences of inaction often fall on families and loved ones in the community.
“Those are criminals who won’t re offend in our communities,” Charles said.
“Those are criminals who won’t be creating more victims that could be one of your family members or loved ones.”
Charles provided details on several of the individuals arrested during recent enforcement actions. He said one suspect was involved in an assault on a federal agent during the operation.
“If anybody wants to take a picture of these people or haven’t seen them yet, the first picture was the individual who decided to bite off one of our agents fingers,” Charles said.
He went on to identify other criminal illegal aliens taken into custody, outlining their countries of origin and criminal convictions.
“Some of criminals we arrested yesterday, 40 year old criminal illegal alien from Honduras, convicted of assault. 51 year old criminal illegal alien from Laos, convicted of assault, also a 45 year old criminal illegal alien from the Ukraine, convicted of first degree robbery, A and A 46 year old criminal illegal alien from Laos who is convicted of facilitating child sex crime,” Charles said.
Charles said ICE officers and agents continue to focus on what he described as the “worst of the worst,” stressing that the mission is not about publicity but about ensuring public safety for law-abiding citizens in Minnesota and across the country.
“ICE officers and agents are out there every day arresting the worst of the worst, so law abiding citizens in this country and in Minnesota can sleep easy at night,” Charles said.
“This work isn’t about headlines. It’s about public safety.”
