Advocate: Immigration arrests in construction cause fear that impacts all workers
Update: 2025-10-08
Description
A recent raid on a construction site in St. Paul has alarmed neighbors and immigrant advocates.
ICE confirmed agents arrested four people who were working on a roof project on Thursday. A spokesperson for the agency said three of the four had criminal convictions but did not provide names or further information. MPR News has not independently verified those details.
At a vigil, immigrant advocates said arrests like these are creating a climate of fear. MPR News host Nina Moini talked to Merle Payne about how this moment is impacting people working in the Twin Cities who could be subject to immigration arrests. Payne is executive director of the worker advocacy group, CTUL.
