This is disgusting. There’s no accountability in the Sheriff’s Department. This will continue to happen if Sheriff Witt runs unopposed. It will send a message that this is totally okay when it’s not.

dawanna witt's hennepin county sheriff's deputies are once again hiding their faces at the whipple building, just like ICE and CBP do

A message from the Wonderwall

Thousands of our neighbors are struggling to pay rent. Mayor Frey is sending scolding letters painting small business aid and rent assistance as fiscally irresponsible. MPD blew $4.3 million on overtime last month. And now the Frey administration wants $38 million for MPD’s own cop city?

rep angie craig, running for US senate, spoke to UMN student dems in last night and finally had to address her vote in favor of the laken riley act! she was asked if she regretted it, or if her opinion had changed, and she said NO even after all the terror ICE brought to MN!

This shows why you can’t trust headlines or press conferences from the Trump administration. We still need people out keeping watch and staying vigilant until every last agent is off of our streets.

Are you a delegate for your upcoming DFL convention? We’ll make sure you have everything you need to be prepared. We have multiple trainings this week. Find the one that works best for you! www.mobilize.us/ilhanomar/ev...

No seriously, what the fuck was MPD doing these last two months that would require overtime, because it sure as fuck wasn’t protecting the community

December 5: Chief O'Hara says if his officers witness ICE using unlawful force, "I expect them to intervene, or they'll be fired." February 23: MPD has no interventions to report. lims.minneapolismn.gov/Board/Agenda...

The level of anger normal Minnesota people have at their elected representatives is palpable. It's not about party, but the perceived failure of local/state electeds to do anything of substance to protect residents who pay their taxes and get left facing off alone against masked, armed men.

New study from @curaumn.bsky.social: "We estimate that 30–50% of immigrant renters may be at least one month behind on rent by February 2026." Researchers estimate that excess statewide rent debt linked to ICE's occupation reached between $27.4 million to $51.3 million by February 2026.

"The buyers are betting on a growing need for more smaller data centers near urban centers. Such sites can help improve response time for uses such as...self-driving cars, English said.” Let's quick ban Waymo before Frey uses it to claim we need more data centers downtown.

Wow it’s that easy huh, @mayorjacobfrey.bsky.social

i’m at city hall for a press conference with city council democratic socialist minority caucus members robin wonsley, jason chavez, aisha chughtai and soren stevenson on the economic impacts of the ICE surge in minneapolis and what they are doing to address it -

This is going to be a very hard conversation for a whole lot of people who have bought the propaganda coming out of our state from the mayor and the governor, but the reality is the wealth class in Minneapolis is more concerned that businesses may be impacted more than fascist death squads.

Today we are launching a new intitative of Stand With Minnesota—KeepMNHoused.com, a rent-relief campaign backed with a $1.5 matching fund from the Wilson Foundation. Thousands of MN families are at risk of eviction because of the ICE occupation’s lasting impacts. We can keep them housed.

It would be a lot easier for people to “shop local” if we weren't already spending a bunch of money fundraising to keep our neighbors in their homes and fed because Gov Walz refuses to do an eviction moratorium.

As a former hotel worker, when hotel workers tell you they’re scared of the drunk men with guns and masks you should listen to them. There’s no downtown without the workers—don‘t dismiss them. Continue to be disappointed in Eric Roper carrying water for the Strib’s anti Council hit pieces.

Spending money on promoting empty words while fighting providing monetary support for businesses impacted by the illegal ICE occupation is very on brand

It’s really disgusting that the @dfl.org has weaponized blackness in a way that allows for nutters like Vetaw and Warren here to hold political power, while they fight tooth and nail against Robin Wonsley and Ilhan Omar.

Jacob Frey and his corporate PAC donors spent $103 per vote to put Pearll Warren in office. $159k in PAC money + $93k in campaign money for 2,437 final round votes so they could get their rubber stamp to defend the Laken Riley Act.

The damage from ICE’s occupation will be felt for years. Families torn apart, children traumatized, livelihoods destroyed. Minneapolis must invest in an equitable recovery for all our residents. That started today with City Council voting 11-2 to fund $7 million for small business recovery.

Council Member Pearll Warren speaking against a resolution calling for defunding immigration enforcement. Says it would leave us defenseless against immigrants from "the land of one-eyed people eaters, and they had three hairs on top of their head — if they're doing something crazy that's not okay."

Mayor Frey resisted our $1 million rental assistance funding to the very end. Now he’s claiming credit. But we’re not fooled. “Pause Evictions, Save Lives” is up next to give residents more time to connect with rental assistance before facing eviction. Tell your Council Member to vote "yes"!

We’re still seeing ICE going in and out of the Whipple building. As long as they’re still here working to separate families, we need to make sure people are out patrolling & keeping watch. We don’t accept their behavior happening here or anywhere else which is why all of DHS needs to be dismantled

It ain’t over til Minnesota has ICE’s battle flag

“The Hennepin County Sheriff’s Office said it was not involved in Thursday’s arrests, nor in a similar incident at the building last week.” Sheriffs were literally on scene pushing people out of the way to let these goons rush this kid outside. Just own your decision to collaborate.

Grateful for leaders like @elliottpayne.org who is doing the work in City Hall while also protecting neighbors on the front lines. He obviously has significantly less power than Walz, Klobuchar, and Smith, but he’s done more to keep people safe than those three combined.

Great to have the West St. Paul City Council join Minneapolis, St. Paul and Roseville in calling for an eviction moratorium so no family is forced to choose between making rent and risking being kidnapped by ICE. Governor Walz is choosing not to stop evictions for our neighbors in hiding from ICE.

i wish richard carlbom had still been here to see ilhan omar’s surrogate get booed at the mention of her name. so much for a united DFL in the face of fascism

"People are disappointed because the state [and Gov Walz] has options, and it’s refusing to use them. Instead of an eviction moratorium so people can shelter in place, we get the political version of a boss’s pizza party: symbolic comfort and no material protection.”

With ICE agents filling up our hotels, residents deserve to be able to weigh in on hotel liquor license renewals. Proud to have voted “yes” to delay these renewals on Tuesday. buff.ly/TusrS6V

My friends at Niemanreports.org asked me to write about the experience of being a journalist on the ground in Minneapolis right now. I knew I wanted to tell reporters elsewhere how even this most hopeless of times has been clarifying and, in some ways, energizing. (1) share.google/ms1wKDQZmgep...

Wymore said he’s also disappointed that Hennepin County law enforcement appears to be allowing the activity, as they drive past officers there regularly, Wymore said. “It is super dangerous, because anybody could do that if they’re allowing completely unmarked vehicles to leave that building."

Quick reminder everything they say is a fucking lie. We are facing a major healthcare crisis due to the occupation. Pregnant people are regularly missing care & do face an impossible choices. Occupying agents ABSOLUTELY enter hospitals for enforcement purposes and have since they arrived.

Council Member Wonsley urging colleagues (Warren) to "use caution when using fraud as a basis of creating distrust... especially in light of that same type of rhetoric being used by right wing" to justify federal occupation that created need for this funding in the first place.

I’m on the scene at Franklin and 1st. A convoy of about a couple dozen ICE/HSI agents broke the entryway into an apartment building at 6am. No warrant presented. Less than 24 hours ago, Tom Homan announced the end of large convoys in Minnesota… Bullshit.

Not enough. Every single ICE and CBP agent should be out of Minnesota. The terror campaign must stop. ICE must be abolished.

This is what they consider “de-escalating." They don’t know the resiliency of Ward 9 neighbors though. We aren’t stopping until the whole dam system is abolished.

That means ~815k Minnesotans participated in the shutdown and ~310k in the strike. That would make Minnesota’s January 23 general strike one of the largest in history.

As ICE spreads terror across our state, Southside is showing up for each other & rejecting the politics of hatred. I’m running for re-election to keep delivering real results for working Minnesotans & the next generation. Fatehfor62.com

It didn't take very long for it to seem entirely reasonable for a mom to hide her identity while speaking to reporters in order to protect her child's school from being targeted by the secret police. www.youtube.com/shorts/iud0W...

@governorwalz.mn.gov rent is due today. You are not powerless. You can minimize these abductions and violence to residents of this state by letting people shelter-in until this federal occupation is over. Enact an eviction moratorium now.

Must read: "Holding facilities were so crowded that immigrants in one cell had to take turns lying down because there was no space, according to a refugee detained there for one night in January. Basic human needs like food and medical care were sometimes denied." www.startribune.com/no-humanity-...

journalist georgia fort was arrested by the feds this morning for filming the church protest in st. paul where an ICE agent is the pastor. nekima levy-armstrong and chauntyll allen were already arrested for organizing it she went live on facebook about it, @jasonderusha.com has recording on twitter

@governorwalz.mn.gov, I’m thrilled to read via fundraising text that you’ll never stop defending Minnesotans. I agree: your constituents are meeting this moment. We need you to defend us. Come Feb 1st, you can keep vulnerable families in their homes by enacting a statewide eviction moratorium NOW.
