MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — Garrison Gibson, a 37-year-old Liberian man, was arrested over the weekend during a controversial immigration raid in Minneapolis, which was described by critics as a 'blatant constitutional violation.' Gibson had been in regular contact with federal immigration authorities but was apprehended by agents using a battering ram to force entry into his home, an action deemed illegal as they lacked a criminal warrant. This operation sparked protests in the city as activists took to the streets to express their anger over this incident, compounded by the recent fatal shooting of a woman by an immigration officer. The Department of Homeland Security has labeled the raid as part of a larger enforcement effort, stating that over 2,000 arrests have been made in Minnesota since December.
