On January 27, 2026, Ecuador’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs reported that an agent from the United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) attempted to enter the Ecuadorian consulate in Minneapolis without permission, officials said. Consulate staff prevented the agent from entering the premises and activated emergency protocols to protect Ecuadorian citizens inside, the ministry added. Ecuador’s foreign ministry subsequently submitted a formal note of protest to the United States Embassy in Quito, seeking assurances that such incidents would not occur again at any Ecuadorian consular offices in the United States. The incident occurred amid a large immigration enforcement operation in Minnesota involving federal agencies.
