Yesterday, five-year-old Liam and his dad Adrian were released from Dilley detention center. I picked them up last night and escorted them back to Minnesota this morning. Liam is now home. With his hat and his backpack.

Gregory Bovino leaving Minneapolis tomorrow, according to CNN. They're reporting that he and many of his men are going back to their sectors. If Bovino goes to his sector, that's California. I guess we will see.

Dear neighbor, It is not the time to let your guard down, nor is it the time to stop organizing. While Bovino will be leaving Minneapolis along with some U.S. Border Patrol agents, there is still no specific plan that has been communicated to the public. 1/

A massive general strike has begun in Minnesota.

All Mpls/County Libraries are open their regular hours today until 5pm. Free to enter, use space, resources, restrooms, water fountains etc. Per usual - no purchase necessary.

I will just keep repeating. I have never never never seen anything like this. 30 years of reporting.

It’s already -15 F and will be -20 overnight. Tomorrow will see a HIGH temperature of -10 Fahrenheit. If you attend the ICE Out Now march tomorrow in mpls bundle up, babes. You know what to do. Don’t gaslight yourself. Wear all the layers.

Another friend put it to me like this: "ICE has made the classic Nazi mistake. They've invaded a winter people in the winter."

I have been actively involved in protest movements for 24 years. I have never seen anything approaching this scale. Minneapolis is not accepting what's happening here. ICE fucking murdered a woman for participating in this, and all that did is bring out more people, from more walks of life.

I got in late last night. First thing this morning, I saw cars following an ice vehicle down the street, honking at it. Later, we didn't drive more than three blocks before we found people defending a childcare facility. (The idea that people have to defend a childcare facility... let that sink in)

I came to Minneapolis to report on what's going on, and one of the main questions I showed up with is "just what is the scale of the resistance?" After all, we're all used to the news calling Portland a "war zone" or whatever when it's just some protests in one part of town.

A major victory. A federal judge has ruled that ICE must stop targeting peaceful protesters and legal observers who are not suspected of any crimes.

I don’t think people quite understand that the occupation by ICE in the Twin Cities has more or less erased non-white people from public life. They cannot safely exist in any space accessible to the public and moving between private places leaves folks vulnerable to kidnapping by armed masked goons.

every single successful general strike in US history has had union backing through the local AFL-CIO this is the first time it’s been called for since the 1940s

I’ve started using the term “ethnic cleansing campaign” to describe the ICE occupation here in Minnesota. This is deliberate because the reality on the ground is that, at a given moment, any non-white person can be kidnapped by masked federal paramilitaries regardless of their constitutional rights.

Renee Good's family is accusing federal immigration officers of killing the Minneapolis mother of three as she attempted to follow agents' instructions, and have now hired the same law firm that represented George Floyd's family to press for answers and accountability.

For people outside Minneapolis: North is the historically Black part of the city. It's been heavily disinvested from, gutted by the 2008 mortgage crisis, and got hit by a tornado which did damage you can still see from aerial photos. It's no mistake ICE is going after more vulnerable populations.

this is Minnesotan for "I am mad enough to bite through rebar"

You know, I don't love hearing a reporter talk about "no violence yet" when the federal government just shot someone, then tear gassed everyone and continues to tear gas everyone.

I’m proud to be from north Minneapolis. Tbh think we should all take a page and start trashing their cars when they go on these pathetic boy power-fantasy quests.

ICE agents fled from the crowd and left behind their CONOPS battle plan for Minneapolis, including agent's names, hotel rooms, phone numbers, boxes of license plates, and tac radio frequencies.

The thing that really makes Minneapolis different, other than the fact that they straight up murdered someone, is that they've dropped all pretense that this is just about immigration. The state has declared war on its own people, or at least those people who live in cities.

Oh ho hoooo the cold snap is coming this weekend you FUCKS

For people who aren’t from here, let me tell you something: the federal Whipple building being talked about it right next to the MSP airport and Fort Snelling. They’re all right on top of one another and right outside of downtown Saint Paul.

One of the biggest obstacles in trying to organize against ICE here on the ground is a capitalism in which bosses would rather see their employees disappeared by the federal paramilitaries than change their business practices to keep them safe.

you know what's beautiful, and it can be easy to forget, but the people. the people are beautiful.

BREAKING: Minnesota, Minneapolis, and St. Paul sue Noem and others over DHS immigration enforcement surge in Minnesota, seeking TRO to block the surge and stop unlawful actions detailed in the complaint.

Three eyed monster says "Fuck ICE! go home cowards."

I was just denied access to the ICE processing center at the Whipple Building. Members of Congress have a legal right and constitutional responsibility to conduct oversight where people are being detained. The public deserves to know what is taking place in ICE facilities.

“It was not Hitler or Himmler who abducted me, beat me and shot my family. It was the shoemaker, the milkman, the neighbor, who received a uniform and then believed they were the master race." – Karl Stojka, Auschwitz survivor

Kind of feel like a lot of politicians, even in Minnesota, are misreading the implications of this moment. I feel like the past three days have been tremendously radicalizing for so many people. I have witnessed it even in my own small communities, it goes beyond just incandescent rage.

Not an exaggeration at all to say that the feeling in Minneapolis is that the entire metro area is being treated as occupied territory by federal agents. Impossible to overstate how overwhelmingly people here do not like it. This does not feel sustainable.

Hayes: The president was asked should they be sharing evidence—his response was no, because Minnesota's corrupt. Ellison: I will point out no president that I've ever heard of received a $400 million plane from a foreign country trying to curry favor with him, crypto deals, golf courses.

it might be the chinese century but this shit has definitively been the minneapolis decade

A gentle reminder in your grief that Renee Good was out there to protect her Black and brown neighbors from ethnic cleansing. That is still the mission. The focus should remain on slowing down the ethnic cleansing campaign and on protecting Black and brown families and communities from destruction.

minneapolis families for public schools hold a press conference at lake harriet park calling for ICE to leave minneapolis. classes are canceled at MPS the rest of the week after ICE showed up to roosevelt high school and staff were taken

This feels like 2020 when it was impossible to convey the chaos occurring locally in the twin cities to the view of the internet. 🧊 is attacking our kids. They are snatching random people all over the metro. I just saw a tiktok of a person who’s doordasher ran into her house to hide.

If you’re wondering the impact of community patrol, ICE just tried to take one of our residents on 23rd and Central and because so many community members responded, we stopped them and ICE left. Sign up to join patrols and protect your neighbors defend612.com

Rest in power to Keith Porter who was murdered by an ICE agent in Los Angeles. It’s terrible that his name is just now being circulated, but now that it is, continue to say his name.

My rage defies articulation.

a major american city is being forced to close schools because armed government agents are raiding and pepper spraying and terrorizing children and teachers for social media content

An official from Roosevelt High School in Minneapolis told MPR News that armed U.S. Border Patrol goons came onto school property during dismissal Wednesday and began tackling people; they handcuffed two staff members and released chemical weapons on bystanders.

You know shit is fucked up because they closed schools.

Your reminder that what happened to Renee Nicole Good is something that happens regularly in America. This is not new, but it is an expanded version of militarized people targeting Black people in particular. From ICE detention to murder with impunity, we've been doing it. Now it's broadened.

ICE killed a member of our community today. ICE showed up at my kid’s daycare today. ICE is bragging about the number of families they’ve torn apart in a matter of days, and promising that their campaign of terror isn’t done.

Renee Nicole Good. Poet, writer, musician, wife, mother, friend.

One of the things you learn living somewhere with cold weather is that communities are safer when ice is cleared off the roads.

"Good was a poet and mother of three children who grew up in Colorado Springs. She was married to a comedian named Timothy Macklin who died in 2023 and now lives in Minneapolis with her partner, whose named has not been shared." www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article...

I need people to wrap their minds around the fact that here in Minneapolis, ICE broke the window of a vehicle yesterday, pepper sprayed the occupants, and arrested them, and shot another observer in the face today, and OBSERVERS ARE STILL GOING OUT TO PROTECT THEIR NEIGHBORS AT MASSIVE PERSONAL RISK

It takes an enormous amount of courage to stand there, keep filming, and scream "What the fuck, you asshole" at someone wearing a badge who just shot and killed one of your neighbors in cold blood.
