· KRGV (NBC 5)
Federal agents conducted a significant undercover surveillance operation in Minnesota earlier this year, targeting progressive organizations and labor unions involved in protests against immigration enforcement. Dubbed Operation Puppet Master, the initiative aimed to uncover a network allegedly aiding 'violent opportunists.' Court documents revealed that Homeland Security infiltrated meetings in various community spaces, monitoring discussions and compiling participant information. The operation has drawn criticism from affected groups, with leaders claiming it represents a misuse of power against citizens exercising their constitutional rights. The investigation follows a large-scale immigration enforcement operation that resulted in numerous arrests and protests in the region.
