MINNEAPOLIS, Minn. — Controversy reigns as Garrison Gibson, a Liberian man, finds himself back in the hands of ICE agents after a judge ordered his release just a day prior. During a chaotic scene captured on video, armed agents broke into his home using a battering ram to make the initial arrest. Following a recent bump in ICE activities linked to heightened tensions in Minneapolis, Gibson's second detainment raises questions about legal processes surrounding immigration enforcement.
Having fled civil war in Liberia, Gibson has been in the U.S. legally under supervision, following a drug conviction that was eventually dismissed. Amidst over 2,500 such detentions in a wave of enforcement operations, tribal leaders are warning members of the Native American community to carry identification as ICE presence increases. This situation highlights ongoing national debates surrounding immigration policy and community safety.
