More than 500 U.S. citizens have been detained during the Trump administration's immigration operations

In early January, at the peak of what the Trump administration called Operation Metro Surge, two Target employees in Richfield were pinned to the ground and aggressively detained by federal agents.

They are U.S. citizens and were eventually released, but suffered injuries during the arrest.

They are among the more than 500 U.S. citizens who were detained and held during the current administration as it carried out its immigration enforcement agenda. Fifteen percent of those people are Minnesotans.

That’s according to a new investigation by ProPublica. For more on what was uncovered, Minnesota Now host Nina Moini spoke to one of the reporters of the story, Liliana Michelena.
