Our campus in the heart of the city is seamlessly integrated with the surrounding neighborhood, so what happens in Minneapolis reaches into the heart of Augsburg. A sense of danger and anxiety permeates Minneapolis. I sincerely hope my colleagues around the country will not face the distressing challenges we have experienced here in Minneapolis. Most chillingly, ICE has detained several Augsburg students, including one on campus following a tense confrontation with armed agents in early December. As with any community, Augsburg students, faculty, and staff have diverse viewpoints, including about how best to respond to our current moment.
