Federal immigration officers detained a contractor in a parking lot at General Mills' Chanhassen facility in mid-January, an incident captured in a video shared on social media. General Mills said it asked agents for identification and followed its safety protocols, while the Carver County sheriff's office said it had no record of the arrest. The Department of Homeland Security later said officers pulled over and arrested an individual in the lot who had entered the country in 2023. The incident occurred amid increased ICE activity across Minnesota, with companies including Target and Caribou Coffee also affected and state officials warning of strain on businesses' payrolls.
