Disputed Jan. 19 Minneapolis ICE incident challenges Vance’s account

Minneapolis police and the restaurant manager dispute Vice President JD Vance’s post about off‑duty ICE/CBP officers being mobbed while dining in Minneapolis; MPD says the agents had enough resources and left within about 15 minutes, while the restaurant manager says he didn’t witness doors being locked. DHS backs the VP’s account and describes the Jan. 19 incident outside Darbar India Grill, involving roughly 30 agitators. The conflicting narratives highlight how immigration enforcement actions in a major city are reported and politicized, as federal investigators review a related shooting and two agents are placed on leave.
