To 99% of ICE-occupied Minneapolis, the line between good and evil over the past two months has been absolutely clear. Yet the #UMN administration has consistently picked the wrong side. www.startribune.com/politics-uni...

I feel a bit emotionally out of step with most here, but I'm kinda in the mood of "Dance in the streets, but bring your whistles"

Why is ICE seizing people’s phones and documents? minnesotareformer.com/2026/02/12/w...

This is the aftermath of an ICE kidnapping a few blocks from my home in St. Paul—an hour ago. A quiet street full of broken glass and at least three wrecked cars. The target of the kidnapping was taken away by ambulance. He was on a stretcher and covered by a sheet, though a cop said he was alive.

We have an anti-ICE protest concert. Four days later, ICE announces it is leaving Minnesota. Coincidence? I don't think so.

US Olympic Curling Team member speaks out against ICE: "I'm proud to represent Team USA. But we'd be remiss if we didn't mention what's going on in Minnesota and what a tough time it's been. What's happening is wrong. There's no shades of gray."

“To disallow a faculty member from expressing their solidarity with the murdered man at his own memorial service is not ‘neutrality,’ it is complicity.”

A violinist was invited to perform at a memorial for Alex Pretti. When she arrived wearing a black tunic saying "The evil must end," University of Minnesota administrators had her ejected from the building by armed guards. mndaily.com/top-story/un...

These are letters from children detained in an ICE facility in Texas. Susej is 9 and has been detained for 50 days. Gaby is 14 and has been detained for 20 days. Their accounts are heartbreaking and should be deeply shaming to our nation. www.propublica.org/article/ice-...
