MANY MINNESOTANS WHO LIVED THROUGH OPERATION METRO SURGE DESCRIBE IT AS AN OCCUPATION.WHEN MINNESOTA’S WINTER WAS AT ITS MOST BRUTAL,
BETWEEN 3,000 & 4,000 FEDERAL OFFICERS FLOODED THE TWIN CITIES, ARRESTING THOUSANDS.
ONE STUDY FOUND NEARLY A THIRD OF MINNEAPOLIS RESIDENTS HAD AT LEAST ONE INTERACTION WITH
THE FEDERAL FORCE, MASKED MEN IN FATIGUES WEARING WEAPONS STRAPPED TO THEIR BODIES.
I arrived in Minneapolis the day after a federal officer killed Renee Good. I left a few days after federal officers killed Alex Pretti.
