Local officials are denouncing U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement over the detention of a Northfield man who, according to court records, has no criminal history. Adan Nunez Gonzalez was detained by ICE agents last Tuesday on his way to work and is now being held at Kandiyohi County Jail. Nunez Gonazlez is a father of four and has lived in Northfield for more than a decade. The demand for food assistance continues even with the restoration of SNAP benefits last week.
