A new report from Human Rights Watch paints a devastating picture of the impact of a recent Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) crackdown in Minneapolis. The report reveals a stark surge in calls to a local suicide prevention helpline, with numbers more than doubling during the agency's intense enforcement period. This alarming trend suggests that the ICE operation, which targeted immigrant communities in the city, had a profoundly traumatic effect on the residents, particularly those who were already vulnerable. As the city grapples with the aftermath of the crackdown, the report sheds light on the unseen toll of ICE's actions and raises critical questions about the agency's tactics and their human cost.
