Official ICE records, removal logs, or court/agency records show that the named individuals were removed from Minnesota during the referenced Operation Metro Surge and that the agency published their criminal histories.
A January 12, 2026 press release from the U.S. Department of Homeland Security states that ICE agents "removed" multiple "criminal illegal aliens" from Minnesota over the weekend "during Operation Metro Surge in Minneapolis" and that DHS "released the following criminal histories" for those individuals, listing names and prior charges or convictions. Independent local coverage from Valley News Live reports that DHS released details and criminal histories for 10 individuals with prior criminal charges or convictions who were arrested in Minnesota during a weekend Operation Metro Surge enforcement action. A separate release from the Minnesota Attorney General confirms the existence of Operation Metro Surge as an ongoing DHS/ICE surge in the Twin Cities beginning in December 2025, consistent with the described context. Verdict: True, because official DHS documentation and independent local reporting both confirm that during a weekend Operation Metro Surge in Minneapolis, ICE removed multiple noncitizens with criminal histories from Minnesota and DHS publicly released their criminal histories.
