Starlight Tour [CW: Violence against first nations people; freezing; death]

I haven't been able to find any news articles yet only videos of people on social media discussing it. Some videos:

https://www.reddit.com/r/ICE_Watch/comments/1qr3sz4/healthcare_workers_confirm_that_ice_is_abandoning/

Most of these videos are a week or so old, I haven't found anything newer nor have I found "reliable" reporting, but I am using google search, which is dogshit.

To try to force google to give me what I want I use advanced operators like double quotes and after:.

I started with this search ICE "Starlight Tours" after:2026-01-10

But then I realized the OP already had Reddit links so I tried more recent dates: after:2026-01-20 then after:2026-01-23

OP - you can put these in the body text if you want to.

Protesters Blockade ICE Headquarters in Fort Snelling, Minnesota

2026/01/24

I’ve seen one exposure death before. The glassy black skin on their body isn’t a vision I will ever forget. ICE have recently been taking a page out of the Saskatoon Police force’s “Starlight Tours” and dropping off arrestees in the middle of the night in remote areas, intentionally using weather exposure as a weapon of torture. On the morning of the general strike, temperature adjusted for wind chill was about -30 degrees Fahrenheit (-35 Celsius). This can cause uncovered skin to develop frostbite within twenty minutes, a challenge that requires careful planning and specialized clothing to address.
