Sophie Carson reports:
She estimates U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents have detained 50 to 70 immigrants in the Baldwin area in the last three months. Although she doesn't keep an official count, she's well-connected to the Latino community and to networks of ICE-watchers.
Just off Interstate 94, this town of 4,000 people 40 miles east of St. Paul has a few manufacturing plants, a handful of dairy farms and a small Latino population. The status quo in Baldwin shifted when thousands of immigration agents surged into the Twin Cities and its nearby towns in December. Flaherty and others said western Wisconsin has been especially hard-hit, and a pervasive sense of fear has gripped immigrants and the residents who help them.
Arrests there continue despite border czar Tom Homan's pledge that agents were leaving Minnesota. A DHS spokesperson said the agency does "not discuss future or potential operations," and would not say why they were continuing to focus on western Wisconsin.
