A Minnesota pastor says federal immigration agents detained him during a neighbourhood raid, then released him because he was white and 'wouldn't be any fun', in an encounter he believes shows how ICE operations are designed to instil fear. His account comes as Minneapolis continues to grapple with the fallout from the fatal shooting of Renee Nicole Good and a broader campaign of high‑visibility immigration raids.
Rev Kenny Callaghan of All God's Children MCC told Fox 9 Minneapolis that agents grabbed him on Wednesday, 7 January, shortly after Good was shot dead, as he stepped outside to see what was happening on his street. He said officers held him at gunpoint, handcuffed him, and repeatedly asked if he was afraid before finally letting him go with the remark about his race.
