The Department of Homeland Security says more than 2,000 immigration agents are on the ground in Minnesota.

That's actually more than three times the number of officers in the Minneapolis Police Department.

And another thing worth noting here, multiple residents in Minneapolis neighborhoods told NPR they've seen ICE agents going door to door, knocking for undocumented people.

Vice President J.D.

Vance in a recent news conference said the same, that agents were going door to door to find, quote, criminal illegal aliens.

And this is highly unusual.

ICE usually does targeted operations, but this is different.

Now, we reached out to the Department of Homeland Security, but the agency did not respond to a request for comment on that.

Thousands of people in Minneapolis have taken on the streets for the fourth consecutive day to protest President Trump's immigration crackdown in the city and in the state of Minnesota.

And they say they want to honor the life of Renee Goode, the woman killed by an ICE officer earlier this week, and to send the Trump administration a message that ICE agents are not welcome in their state.

However, the Trump administration has said it will continue its immigration crackdown in the city.

Already 2,000 federal immigration agents are in the state of Minnesota and more are expected to come in the next few days.

Sergio Martinez Beltran, NPR News, Minneapolis.

People in Minneapolis continue to protest President Trump's immigration crackdown in the city and in the state of Minnesota.

And they're doing it in the streets.

You can hear in the background there is a noise demonstration outside a hotel in downtown Minneapolis where organizers say ICE agents are staying.

And people here told me they want to send the Trump administration a couple of messages.

One, that they're still mourning the death of Rene Good.

and that they don't want immigration agents in their community.

More protests are expected over the weekend.
