Federal officials on Wednesday said a Customs and Border Patrol (CBP) K-9 was targeted in Minneapolis after an employee at a kennel wrote “ICE OUT” on the dog’s feed chart.
The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) said anti-ICE agitators in Minneapolis are targeting CBP K-9s, including a K-9 named “Dina.”
“At the kennel where K-9 Dina was staying, it was discovered that an employee had written “ICE OUT” on her feed chart,” DHS wrote in a social media post. “THEY’RE EVEN GOING AFTER THE DOGS!”

It is unclear which kennel Dina was staying at, and what the alleged employee responsible’s current employment status is.
Tensions flared in the blue city after 37-year-old Renee Nicole Good was fatally shot Jan. 7 by an ICE agent while allegedly blocking an operation in Minneapolis and driving toward an agent.
