ICE spotting or near miss today. Skiing at Theo Wirth, low chopper ICE driving recklessly. Getting groceries barely missed witnessing abduction. My mom arrived at our house before us. Had to call to get her to hurry inside due to abduction of family and tear gas.

Great! I would love to not spend another night with a sore throat because of the pepper spray from an abduction of a child 2 blocks from my house.

Family of man shot by ICE in Minneapolis disputes key aspects of DHS account
Relatives say the shooting occurred at the door of the house, not out in the street amid a scuffle. They also say the victim was not the man targeted in a traffic stop.

This is our neighborhood. We had a northside effort to get all families near here new furnace filters. Our family encountered the police leaving the precinct on the way home from dance class. Kids shouldn't be gassed period.

Yes this. Also delta needs to allow waivers. The agent I talked to yesterday was super nice and did what they could but company policy said I can't change my conference flight to later without huge price. And I was calling because we may need to evacuate our kids.

No thank you. More proud of my neighbors who drove the "undercover" agents out of the local coffee shop because they were looking for any non white residents to harass. I don't have coffee with people who kidnap my neighbors and violate my rights.

Lots of good options if you are looking to donate. Just a reminder North Minneapolis is my neighborhood. It is where the most recent shooting was. Our neighborhood was already under-resourced and had been redlined.

Passing along a request from Department of Public Safety. If it makes sense for you to share with folks you are connected with, please do. -- "If you have people on scene please let the local and state police hold the scene. We have our investigation team on the way but it takes time."

Today at 34 & Park in Minneapolis, a woman tried to drive down the street where a protest had broken out in front of a home ICE was raiding, saying she had a doctor apt to get to. ICE agents busted out her windows, cut off her seatbelt, and pulled her out before arresting her.

What it is like in Minneapolis. During Sunday School we get alerts to drive out ICE from our grocery store. During the sermon we get reports of ICE outside the local Catholic Church and they are sheltering in place trying to get observers there.

Here is a way to help especially if you are in the Cities. Nearly all observer trainings are at capacity. If you have large spaces like churches willing to host trainings reach out to your local ICE watch groups and neighbors. Other cities start doing this as well!
