Moulton: I have an idea for ICE funding: zero. That’s what ICE needs.

Federal agents are pulling over off duty cops based on the color of their skin. This is not a serious operation to enforce immigration law. It’s a performative show of force and it’s gotten way out of hand.

Today I talked with police chiefs from across the metro area. This isn’t just happening in Mpls and St. Paul. The 3000 ICE agents are in the suburbs and across our state. The surge is disrupting the work of local law enforcement.

I flew down to south Texas today to do my job - investigate why people are dying in ICE detention centers. I was just illegally denied entry to Dilley Detention Center. Because they have something to hide.

He's only going to get worse. And faster.

Lots of response to our coverage last night of the successful protest campaign to get Avelo Airlines to end its contract with ICE and stop flying deportation flights for the Trump Administration. Here's more on that: truthout.org/articles/her...

The chief "said when he’s contacted agencies he finds that they often don’t know what their people are planning or doing that day." www.mprnews.org/story/2026/0...

Rogue, lawless, unaccountable and very violent agency

Mamdani: "I am in support of abolishing ICE. What we see is an entity that has no interest in fulfilling its stated reason to exist. We're seeing a government agency that is supposed to be enforcing some kind of immigration law, but instead what it's doing is terrorizing people."

He goes on to describe one of his officers being stopped when she was off-duty solely because she's non-white, harassed by ICE goons who slapped her phone out of her hand as she tried to record, only to be let go when she finally revealed she was a cop.

Economic blackout day planned in Minnesota to protest ICE surge Unions, faith groups and local leaders urge residents not to work, shop or go to school after killing of Renee Good www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

Do not fund ICE. They are lawless and unaccountable and violent.

Federal immigration agents forced open a door and detained a U.S. citizen in his Minnesota home at gunpoint without a warrant, then led him out onto the streets in his underwear in subfreezing conditions, according to his family and videos reviewed by The Associated Press.

Dear neighbor, I’m joining faith leaders, union representatives and community members who are calling for a Day of Truth and Freedom on Friday, January 23, 2026. This will be a general strike in Minnesota (no work, school, or shopping) in support of our immigrant neighbors. 1/

I keep seeing posts stating that ICE cannot enter your home or a private business without a judicial warrant. While that is legally correct, in reality ICE routinely violates the law by forcing their way in, often by smashing down doors, before violently assaulting people. Trumpism is fascism.

Fascist forces have ramped up the siege of Minneapolis, swarming and attacking people from Savage, to Shakopee, to Eden Prairie, and Chaska. No doubt other suburbs are being hit as well. These monsters are violating the federal court injunction left and right. There must be consequences.

ICE agents have been flooding into Minnesota, outnumbering local police and creating chaos in neighborhoods. ICE needs to get off our streets.

It is completely unacceptable that law-abiding Minnesotans are being thrown to the ground, detained, pepper-sprayed, and threatened. This endangers public safety and is fundamentally un-American. www.startribune.com/have-yall-no...

“Now is the time”: Minnesota calls for general strike on January 23 to drive ICE out Faith groups, labor unions, community organizations, businesses, and more have come together to mobilize millions to withdraw from the economy on the day of action. peoplesdispatch.org/2026/01/13/n...

Excellent. We need more religious leaders to speak up. www.nytimes.com/2026/01/19/u...

I am not exaggerating when I say ICE functions as a terrorist organization in the Twin Cities. The goal seems to be to harass and frighten people (the ones who are lucky enough to not be abducted, at least) and it's deeply unsettling when you learn they're in your neighborhood.

There is no strategy www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

Weekend ICE Report (Jan 17–18) Today marks 49 days of ICE in Minneapolis. The information in this video comes from unpaid community volunteers who patrol our neighborhoods to document ICE activity when no one else will. These abductions don’t always make headlines, but they happen every day.

The irony of ICE detaining and disappearing the original Americans should stop everyone cold. As a Lakota proverb says, when you discover you’re riding a dead horse, the best strategy is to dismount. This system isn’t broken. It’s dead.

If only the guards at Auschwitz had better training the Holocaust would never have happened - current Democratic Party policy.

My dad was tortured by the Gestapo for 4 days and thrown in a concentration camp for being in the Norwegian Resistance. Growing up, he would tell me things he learned in the Resistance. I thought, I'm never going to need this stuff. Here's some of those things #Thread

Isaiah Blackwell used his body as a shield in guiding Jake Lang away from counterprotesters before two Black women were his unexpected getaway drivers. Former Minneapolis Mayor R.T. Rybak said, “Lang saw that Black man as less than him. The Black man saw Lang as a human being.”

This is another senseless tragedy. ICE has an obligation to keep detainees safe. We need a complete and impartial investigation of what is happening in these detention centers.

You cannot win America back using violence. You will fail, you will give the fascists what they want. The fascists have all the guns, they own violence. You do not. You can only win with nonviolence: Shut the country down! No working, as little buying things as possible, shut it all down.

It really is time for tough love and hard talks with the fearful xenophobic people you know in rural communities. It’s sad to me that they are willing to comply in advance because they think “whiteness” will save them.

Rewarding ICE agents for arrests — even if the person is released without charges — is leading to chaos in the streets and Constitutional rights being violated. This isn’t making us safer.

It's great that Minnesotans are caring & good at feeding those in need. But there is more to humanity than just food. Why can't a law be passed in Minnesota that prohibits ICE from wearing masks, require ICE to knock instead of bust down doors & also require ICE to show a warrant signed by a judge?

I'm out in Carver Co. MN, 40 miles from Minneapolis. ICE is out here running amok, taking observers who are doing nothing but following their vehicles. There is no longer a democracy out here; we have fully entered a fascist state.

Another person taken today from the quarry, leaving a wife and a young baby without support. If you are vulnerable or at risk, please stay away from the quarry. Target and Home Depot parking lots have been staging sites for ICE with lots of activity. Stay safe and stay vigilant.

I was assured that the courts said they can't do this

Someone on TikTok had a great point: Hitler was able to consolidate power and kill millions because the German people overwhelmingly supported him. Trump doesn’t have that kind of support among Americans. A majority oppose MAGA and millions of activists are derailing his plans. Keep fighting!

For those saying “oh but the cabinet are all sycophants.” Yes. We know. It’s called PRESSURE. You pressure the system until something gives. Micro cracks in the wall until some bricks start to come loose.

jack asked if i would sketch up a poster to tell people in nearby neighborhoods about the partnership between flock and ring, and this is what i came up with. it can be printed on an 8.5x11 sheet of paper.

The other day I bitched that people always forget LaMonica McIver in their list of politicized prosecutions. The New Yorker has a profile here, so hopefully we can change that. www.newyorker.com/magazine/202...

ICE’s actions tear families apart, intimidate communities, & undermine the conditions that make education, research, healthcare, & public trust possible. We’re calling on scientists to join the general anti-ICE strike in Minnesota on January 23rd.
