Postal workers in Minneapolis rallied on January 18, 2026, demanding that Immigration and Customs Enforcement stop using United States Postal Service property to stage operations.
Protesters, including letter carriers, held signs reading "Return ICE to sender" and chanted against federal enforcement outside a post office.
Mike, a postal worker at the rally, said, "We are out here, we're demanding that ICE stop using postal property to stage their raids." The group joined broader calls for ICE to leave Minneapolis, amid ongoing protests against Operation Metro Surge.
USPS buildings are federal property, and federal law enforcement has every right to access them for official business. When postal workers threaten strikes or refuse to cooperate, they betray the taxpayers who pay their salaries. The job is to deliver the mail, not to play politics or block law enforcement.
Conservatives demanded mass firings for workers prioritizing political activism over job duties. These actions echo the anti-American rebellion seen in sanctuary policies and riots that have plagued Minnesota under Governor Tim Walz.
The USPS already struggles with delays, lost packages, and inefficiency. Employees using work time to protest and threaten strikes only worsen service for American families relying on mail delivery. Taxpayers pay these workers to perform their jobs, not to hold signs and scream against federal agents enforcing immigration law.
This rally was just the warm-up for a so-called general strike on January 23, 2026, which shut down businesses and threw Minnesota into chaos, all to oppose ICE. Postal workers eagerly joined forces with unions and activist groups, choosing to stand against law enforcement rather than do the jobs they are paid to do.
