Minnesota Clergy Arrested as Immigration Protests Intensify

    Religious leaders gather at the Minneapolis-St. Paul International airport, January 23, 2026.I

A major demonstration in Minnesota led to the arrest of about 100 clergy members as thousands of protesters gathered to oppose a recent surge in federal immigration enforcement. The clergy, representing a wide range of faith traditions, formed a human chain outside Minneapolis–St. Paul International Airport, praying and singing as an act of civil disobedience.

Police issued misdemeanor citations after the group refused to disperse, though all were later released. Their action was part of a broader statewide protest movement responding to an increase in immigration raids and deportation operations.

Across Minneapolis, additional crowds rallied in solidarity, calling for more humane immigration policies and urging airlines to reconsider their cooperation with federal agencies. Organizers emphasized that faith communities have a long history of supporting immigrant families and vowed to continue peaceful resistance.

The day’s events underscored growing public frustration and highlighted the role of religious leaders in shaping the debate over immigration enforcement in Minnesota.
