KSFY has learned that Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) are in the Worthington, Minnesota area today.

An ICE spokesperson confirmed that ICE is conducting an enforcement aimed at specific individuals - not a general sweep of a certain businesses. KSFY spoke with an ICE official, who said they are in the midst of an ongoing investigation and that it could take the remainder of the week.

ICE will not say how many individuals have or will be arrested. They did say this is not a large scale raids. Instead, they said this is a small targeted operation throughout Worthington. Much of the operation is concentrated at residences.

One resident told KSFY that she saw four people taken from a home close to where she lives and into a van.

KSFY will have continuing coverage on this story on KSFY Live At 10:00.
