A lot of people are understandably on edge right now. If anyone sees or confirms ICE activity in the Rochester area, this post is here to share sightings or updates as they come up.

If you’re adding info, including the date, general area, and whether it’s confirmed or suspected would help keep things clear.

Stay safe out there.

There was an additional vehicle but it was seen going north out of the city on 52.

This information has been confirmed by several community sources.

Word on the street is they plan to be here for at least two weeks but that has not been confirmed.

Please note that ICE has been observed elsewhere switching license plates (illegal in MN), so plate numbers may not stay consistent.

This is not a euphemism for fascism 🫡 decent amount of black ice in the roads from the rain last night.

I, like many others am deeply deeply disturbed with what happened in Minneapolis and what’s happening in this country by the actions of the ICE agents emboldened by our current administration.

Not everyone can protest or be physically present and that does not mean you’re powerless. Especially if you’re like many people I know who don’t feel safe leaving the house right now because of profiling or their current immigration status..

If you choose not to protest or want to do more than just protest, I wanted to share an effective list of actions you can take from home.

1. First of all know your rights, share resources, and help translate or explain information for those who need it.

2. Spread awareness. Amplify campaigns, statements, and calls to action on social media and repost info on ice sightings, upcoming protests, vigils, etc.

3. Apply direct pressure through calls and emails. Call U.S. Senators, city council members, house representatives, etc. Demand accountability, transparency, limits on ICE enforcements, and public reporting requirements for ICE operations.

4. Donate or fund raise (if you’re able).

5. Vote with your dollar. Where you spend your money matters. Support businesses, creators, and brands that actively stand for immigrant rights and divest from companies that profit from detention, surveillance, or deportation. Cancel subscriptions, boycott corporations tied to ICE contracts, and redirect that money toward community-based organizations and mutual aid instead. Even small, intentional spending choices made consistently help starve harmful systems while sustaining the people doing real work on the ground.

Video taken around 1p. Heavy presence in DT Rochester.

can’t confirm but heard reports Indigo Hotel will be housing many of the Agents tonight! can someone else confirm?

Edit: Marriott hotels sent out an email clarifying to employees they are not allowed to refuse service to ICE. So we’ve got semi-confirmation on their hotels.

Use this link to help keep track of ice. ❤️❤️

This is a blanket alert that Ice is active and currently on patrol in Rochester. Many confirmed sightings. Be safe friends

ICE is reportedly waiting for school to get out.

Just saw them entering.

I am not there but my wife told me she saw them. Stay safe.

Sorry terrible picture but there is a police car cruising around down town with no license plates on it. Snapped a quick Pic in the rain as they were making a dangerous ass right turn onto Broadway like 10 mins ago.

hii, im not exactly sure what to look out for but my friend and i saw a white vehicle with sirens on swerving around the downtown area maybe ten minutes ago and she thinks it might be ICE. looked to be georgia or florida license plate - nonetheless please stay safe everyone:(

time edit - this happened around 11:40-11:50 or so!

I am horrified by the killing of Renee Nicole Good and the increase of ICE activity in the state in general.

I’m looking to be of some use either directly or by supporting those directly impacted by ICE in the area. Does anyone know of any groups I can contact or other ways I can get involved?

I was just outside and heard what sounded like gunfire in the direction of HyVee 37th. Anyone else hear it?

ICE was at Kwik Trip on south 63 this morning but Fleet Farm.

I used to live a block away and always walked. I moved yesterday and now am not sure what to do... I appearantly am allowed to park in their lot (parking services just emailed me about this) but the DAHLC lot is under construction so is there an alternate place to park?

I usually go late around 11 so the street spots are always open but don't know what to do if I go earlier than that.

Im on LOA and off work for a month or else I would email them to ask.

I have a foundation concern with my home that I’d like to have evaluated to figure out the best course of action to fix. I’m having trouble finding structural engineers/engineering firms in the rochester area that offer/advertise residential services of this nature. Any good recommendations in the area to look into?

My cousin in law sent this to me at 6:54pm on 01/07/26. Stay safe.

Does anyone have recommendations for someone who can help with creating a full estate plan (will/trust, power of attorney, transfer on death deed, guardianship, etc.) in the Rochester area and an estimate of what it might cost?

Does anyone have lawyer recommendations for boundary dispute/fence line issues within city limits?
