ST. PAUL — Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem is scheduled to visit Minneapolis on Friday, Oct. 24.

Noem, the former governor of South Dakota, is set to “discuss ICE operations and update on the Trump Administration’s immigration enforcement operations in the Twin Cities,” at the Bishop Henry Whipple Building in Minneapolis, according to a media advisory from DHS.

At least one group, “50501,” has planned to protest outside the event on Friday afternoon.

The visit comes three weeks after the Justice Department sued Minnesota over its "sanctuary policies." Gov. Tim Walz has rejected that Minnesota is a sanctuary state, while Twin Cities Mayors stand behind their separation ordinances.
