Twin Cities Residents Receive JFK Profile in Courage Award for Resisting Immigration Surge
The JFK Library Foundation awarded the Profile in Courage Award to the people of the Twin Cities for their collective resistance to a massive immigration enforcement operation. Residents worked together to oppose the record-scale surge by the Department of Homeland Security during Operation Metro Surge. The award recognizes the community's efforts to protect neighbors from federal enforcement actions.
Supporters noted that the Trump administration tried to use Minnesota as a warning to other states. Instead, the community showed how decency and compassion can overcome fear during times of political division. The recognition highlights the impact of local activism against federal immigration policies.
