Minneapolis’s separation ordinance prevents city employees and the Minneapolis Police Department from enforcing federal civil immigration laws, according to the ordinance.
MIRAC, a grassroots organization that fights for immigrant rights, held the protest to launch its campaign, “Real Sanctuary Now.”MIRAC presented four campaign demands:.
