Minneapolis Public Schools cancels classes district-wide citing ICE incidents

Minneapolis Public Schools announced the cancellation of classes district-wide for Thursday and Friday, citing 'incidents around the city' that referred to both the fatal ICE shooting of Renee Nicole Good and the Roosevelt High School confrontation where federal agents pepper sprayed students and handcuffed staff. The unprecedented closure affected tens of thousands of students and marked one of the most significant disruptions to public education caused by federal immigration enforcement. Superintendent emphasized the closure was made 'out of an abundance of caution' for student and staff safety. The decision came as protests continued throughout the city and the Trump administration defended the ICE agent's actions, with Vice President Vance calling Good's death 'a tragedy of her own making.'
