Brooklyn Park, Minn. — "Operation Metro Surge" has transformed daily life in the bustling, diverse suburb north of Minneapolis, with businesses shuttering and residents now in hiding, local officials say.
Brooklyn Park Police Chief Mark Bruley and Mayor Hollies Winston argue the temporary surge of federal immigration officers has created permanent damage that will outlast the federal agents who will eventually pick up and leave the Twin Cities.
"A lot of our community is terrified," Winston said, describing critical business corridors where shops have closed. "Many community members are not coming out of their house because they're so fearful," the mayor said, adding that the fear is not limited to undocumented residents.
"We're talking about citizens of the United States [who] are too scared to come out on a city street in America," he said.
In a city where roughly 65% of residents are people of color, Winston said neighbors are weighing whether to avoid going outside altogether, opting for grocery delivery. He compared the economic impact to the COVID pandemic and predicted the effects could linger for years.
