The Ecuadorian Foreign Affairs Ministry says an Immigration and Customs Enforcement agent tried to enter the country’s consulate in Minneapolis on Tuesday but was blocked by its staff.
“Consulate staff immediately prevented the ICE official from entering the consular building, thereby guaranteeing the protection of the Ecuadorians who found themselves in the consular building in that moment, and activating emergency protocols issued by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Human Movement,” the ministry said in a statement about the incident, which it says happened around 11 a.m.
