Eight Hours in ICE Custody Shed Light on Detention Chaos at Whipple Building

Two U.S. citizens were detained for about eight hours after federal agents stopped their car near the Bishop Henry Whipple Building in Minneapolis, pepper-sprayed the vehicle, smashed its windows and arrested them for obstruction before releasing them without charges. Inside the Whipple Building, detainees faced crowded cells, intermittent access to water and restrooms, and reports of taunting and other rough treatment; lawmakers who visited were briefly allowed in and then denied further access. The episode also included reports of agents offering money or legal protection in exchange for names of protest organizers, underscoring the chaotic nature of ICE operations during a surge and the impact on detainees and their families.
