We are still awaiting more information about a federal law enforcement operation in South Minneapolis today.
A federal criminal search warrant for drugs and money laundering was executed today in the area of Lake St & Bloomington Ave. Multiple federal agencies were involved. There were no arrests at the scene by federal law enforcement executing the search warrant.
Here's what we know: MPD was NOT involved in any immigration enforcement activities today, nor were we given advance notice of any such operation. Any claims to the contrary are false.
