Minnesota Protests Lead To Arrests

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — Police arrested anti-immigration enforcement demonstrators at Minnesota’s largest airport after they overstepped their permit, officials said, as Arctic temperatures seized the state and others protesting the Trump administration’s crackdown urged people to stay away from work, school and shops. One of the faith groups organizing the protest said Friday “roughly 100 clergy” were arrested. Metropolitan Airports Commission spokesman Jeff Lea said the protesters were arrested outside the main terminal of Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport when they went beyond what their permit for demonstrating stipulated and began affecting airline operations. Meanwhile, groups are asking Minnesotans to stay home in protest at immigration enforcement operations in the state
