Agents from U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) made six arrests at a Burnsville apartment complex Tuesday. ICE officials made three additional arrests in Apple Valley that same day.

"Every day, as part of routine targeted enforcement operations, ICE officers arrest criminal aliens and other individuals who are in violation of our nation's immigration laws," ICE spokesman Shawn Neudauer told the Star Tribune.

The Department of Homeland Security reportedly called Independent School District (IDS) 196 (Rosemount-Apple Valley-Eagan) to tell them that the arrests were routine and were not a part of a new, larger crackdown.
