Ecuador has issued a formal protest after U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents attempted to enter the Ecuadorian Consulate in Minneapolis without permission. Ecuadorian diplomats said the attempt violated international consular protections. Consulate officials blocked the entry and activated an emergency alert at emergency pic.x.com/UU9WgfN9dVV. The protest demands clarification, accountability, and assurances that consular premises and personnel will be respected; Quito called for an investigation and for U.S. authorities to prevent recurrence. Minneapolis officials and ICE have not publicly commented in detail. The incident has raised diplomatic tensions and questions about adherence to consular immunity, protocol, and transparency and oversight.
