Hey amigos! 🌟 On Friday, January 16, the Chinese Consulate General in Chicago issued a friendly heads-up for Chinese nationals in Minnesota to ramp up safety awareness. Why? Let’s dive in.
The notice highlights that law enforcement operations are underway in several parts of Minnesota. The Consulate reminded everyone to keep your ID handy, stay informed through official channels, and avoid risky situations—like late-night solo outings or crowded areas with low security. 🛡️
Here’s the backstory: on January 7, an ICE agent fatally shot 37-year-old Renee Nicole Good in Minneapolis during a crackdown on undocumented immigrants. This tragic event has sparked widespread protests not just in Minneapolis, but across the U.S.

What should Chinese nationals do? The Consulate’s top tips:
- Carry valid ID at all times 📄
