Much of that success is because of incentives designed to enable learning and keep its 533 elementary and middle school students coming to school every day, Ms. Johnson said. Free hot breakfasts and lunches are essential to that approach.But after Renee Good was shot and killed by ICE agents on Jan. 7, more than 60 percent of students at Partnership started staying home, prompting the school to switch to fully remote learning. Beyond being deprived of in-person instruction, the students are also cut off from the meals they normally receive.ImageTeachers like Annie Olson, who teaches sixth-grade math at Partnership, have been teaching students remotely from empty classrooms.

The elementary and middle school\u2019s student body is more than 90 percent Hispanic. Credit...Ben Brewer for The New York TimesFear of ICE agents \u2014 compounded by reports of law-abiding Minnesotans, including children, being taken into custody \u2014 has left thousands of local residents scared to leave their homes. Attendance is markedly down at several schools in the area.\u201cRight now, the color of your skin makes you a target,\u201d said Jonathan Ceballos-Gonzalez, the head of family and community engagement at Partnership.A number of people working at hunger relief organizations and in education, who asked not to be identified for the record for fear of retribution, said the food instability and lack of access to social services are not simply a byproduct of the ICE crackdown but rather part of the agency\u2019s strategy, essentially weaponizing food. Among other tactics, they said, the agency is tracking food delivery volunteers and staking out donation distribution centers.Many of the affected families are simultaneously struggling with new restrictions to the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program that went into effect nationwide on Jan. 1.\u201cThis administration has politicized hunger,\u201d said Joe Walker, the director of nutritional services for the Sanneh Foundation, a local youth charity.ICE did not respond to a request for comment.ImageLindsey Shaw (center, in purple), a volunteer for the Sanneh Foundation, a local youth charity, filling boxes with food and other necessities.

Credit...Jenn Ackerman for The New York TimesTo feed the affected people, volunteers across the state are working feverishly, often in cooperation with local schools. For its part, Partnership Academy responded by converting its dormant cafeteria into a distribution hub for the roughly $90,000 worth of food, toiletries and other necessities that have poured in through donations and grants in the past month.The complex, communitywide effort to keep Minnesotans from going hungry includes institutions like schools, churches, restaurants and food banks, but also less-expected sources like a barbershop and a sex shop. Residents have converted their living rooms, basements and garages into storage spaces.\u201cThis has been a great advertisement that shows what \u2018It Takes a Village\u2019 really means,\u201d Mr. Walker said. \u201cAnd we couldn\u2019t do this without teachers.\u201dSanneh\u2019s food distributions increased by 123 percent from December to January, Mr. Walker said. Second Harvest Heartland, the state\u2019s largest food relief organization, estimates it will have sent out 50,000 boxes of food in January and February, according to Ethan Neal, the group\u2019s director of partner operations. Schools are central to hunger relief in Minnesota right now because their employees are often among the few people immigrant families trust who are in a position to help. ImageGov.

The agents had stopped to repair a tire damaged by a pothole. Credit...Jamie Kelter Davis for The New York TimesMinnesota educators also understand how much learning depends on nutrition. The state\u2019s Free School Meals for Kids program, which provides free breakfast and lunch to all public school students, was routinely cited by Minnesota\u2019s governor, Tim Walz, during his 2024 campaign for vice president.\u201cI\u2019ve got to be honest with you,\u201d Gov. Walz said in a Tuesday news conference addressing ICE\u2019s continued presence, \u201cI think it\u2019s more chilling than it was last week because of the shift to schools, the shift to the children.\u201dICE agents have been a common presence outside schools with large enrollments of students from immigrant families, even during the most charged moments of \u201cOperation Metro Surge,\u201d including the day that Ms. Good was killed. Local officials say ICE has only intensified its focus on schools.Jason Kuhlman, the principal of Valley View Elementary in Columbia Heights, said that custodians last week persuaded seven ICE agents to leave the parking lot of the district\u2019s high school on the same day his school was closed because of a bomb threat. \u201cWe have 25 families right now that have either a mom or a dad that has been taken,\u201d he said.Valley View has also had at least four of its students detained and sent to a detention center in Dilley, Texas, including Liam Ramos, the 5-year-old with the Spiderman backpack whose photo went viral in January. ImageValley View Elementary, in Columbia Heights, has also started a food relief program. The school has been in the spotlight since a photo of one of its students, 5-year-old Liam Conejo Ramos, went viral last month. The program serves about 120 families a week.

Mr. Kuhlman is among the volunteers helping to distribute food to families too scared to leave their homes.Credit...Liam James Doyle\/Associated PressThe fear and grief have not deterred Valley View teachers from volunteering to deliver food to some 120 families every week. \u201cI actually had to tell my staff, \u2018Slow down,\u2019\u201d Mr. Kuhlman said. \u201cI don\u2019t need them burning out.\u201dAccording to hunger relief workers, ICE agents have been staking out food distribution sites. And the F.B.I. is reportedly investigating group chats of volunteers and protesters on the Signal messaging app. Volunteers are trained in what to do should ICE agents follow them on home deliveries or pull them over, including eating the slips of paper that contain the addresses of aid recipients.Sergio Amezcua is a pastor at Dios Habla Hoy, a church in south Minneapolis that has become a sizable food distribution center. He said he had seen ICE agents circling the church, and last week he came across what he suspected were ICE agents posing as takeout delivery men trying to enter an apartment building where he was dropping off food.\u201cWe know they\u2019re trying to impede us,\u201d said Mr. Amezcua, who has said he regrets voting for President Trump in 2024. \u201cI think Trump has no idea how people are living in Minnesota,\u201d he said. \u201cIf he does, Lord have mercy on him.\u201dWilson Quizhpi Cuzco spends 11 hours every day bundled up against the cold outside Mirasol Express, his family\u2019s grocery store in Northeast Minneapolis. From the corner where he stands, he can keep an eye on Thomas Edison High School and the Ecuadorean Consulate, both of which have been visited by ICE agents, according to Mr. Cuzco. He leaves the corner only when necessary, he said, to go wherever he thinks he can help mediate confrontations between ICE agents and residents.\u201cA lot of these ICE guys, they don\u2019t even speak Spanish,\u201d Mr. Cuzco said.ImageWilson Quizhpi Cuzco standing watch outside Mirasol Express, his family\u2019s grocery store in Northeast Minneapolis.

Mr. Cuzco suspects that the officer thought he was resisting because the car\u2019s electronic handles retract when he is inside.Credit...Ben Brewer for The New York TimesHis presence on the corner assuages fears of Marisol Express customers. Many are neighbors who know he is a U.S. citizen born in Ecuador and a Marine Corps combat veteran, he said.Mr. Cuzco used to go inside for a 30-minute lunch break. He said he stopped after a man who lived across the street was taken into custody by ICE agents while Mr. Cuzco was away from the corner.\u201cNow I eat here,\u201d he said, standing outside the grocery on a snowy day last week. \u201cMy burrito gets cold.\u201dMr. Cuzco is part of a decentralized patchwork of volunteers assisting community members who may be too afraid to solicit help from institutions they know ICE agents are monitoring.Jennifer, who asked that her last name be withheld for fear of being targeted by ICE, depends on this network for rides to work at a Twin Cities grocery store. She prefers to travel before sunrise and after sunset, and generally sits slouched in the back seat, to avoid attracting the attention of ICE agents.Born in Ecuador, she is in the country legally awaiting political asylum, she said, but must run the risk of being caught because her income covers her family\u2019s expenses. She is also trying to maintain the appearance of life as usual for the benefit of her 9-year-old son.\u201cThere\u2019s an economic necessity, and then there\u2019s also motherhood,\u201d explained Gabriela, a volunteer who served as an interpreter.ImageAn employee at Mirasol Express packing a box for delivery. Credit...Ben Brewer for The New York TimesGabriela, who also asked that her last name be withheld, said she takes measures to evade ICE agents who she and many other relief workers believe are tracking the license plates of cars driven to demonstrations and food distribution sites.\u201cI try to stay away from those places,\u201d she said. \u201cI really want to keep driving people, and I want to bring them groceries. I just feel like, as a Spanish speaker, that\u2019s my current best use.\u201dOn a recent Sunday, Gabriela shopped at multiple grocery stores to buy items from a list entered into a Signal chat. Many of the other volunteers she knows only by pseudonyms. Gabriela delivered the food, toiletries, diapers and a donated crib to a family of four that includes a girl who just celebrated her 10th birthday and a woman pregnant with twins. The pregnant woman said that she, her husband and older sister were in the country legally awaiting rulings on their asylum cases; all asked not to be identified. The older sister said that she stopped going to work at a food processing facility targeted by ICE and that her family wouldn\u2019t be able to survive without assistance.\u201cWe\u2019re so grateful,\u201d she said, through tears.ImageAnai Tepozteco Gavilan sorted through produce last week in the basement of A & A Barber Studio.

She dropped off supplies at the home of another volunteer who was stockpiling food donations for Juntos Podemos, a mutual aid program run out of A & A Barber Studio.The basement and office of the small storefront business, which is near George Floyd Square, have been overstuffed with donations in the weeks since Adan Tepozteco Gavilan, the barbershop\u2019s co-owner, and his sister, Anai Tepozteco Gavilan, started helping neighbors in danger of going hungry.Demand for Juntos Podemos\u2019s services continues to increase, said Ms. Gavilan, even after ICE announced last week that it was reducing the number of agents in Minnesota. Last week, A & A was filled with everything you\u2019d expect to find at a grocery store: bags of tortillas and snack chips, canned beans and pasta, diapers and toothbrushes. Volunteers will pack supplies into boxes for home deliveries. Along with food, families with children will receive coloring books, puzzles and hockey paraphernalia.One local store donated small paper bags filled with modeling clay. Messages of warmth and encouragement were handwritten onto the bags. \u201cYou are important,\u201d read one. \u201cSpring will come,\u201d read another.ImageMessages of encouragement are written on bags of modeling clay donated by a local store.
