People in Minnesota are now using their key fobs to trigger their car alarms from the safety of their homes when they see ICE walking around.

The National Science Foundation sign on our Eisenhower Av building is now gone. The NSF mural in the foyer is removed and torn off in sheets. We were supposed to celebrate the 75th anniversary of the agency in May 2025. That never happened.

I just want people to know that there is no active insurrection, no regular protests, no rioting or whatever. The only time people are in the streets is when masked armed ICE thugs descend on one of our neighbors to disappear them as part of a federal government-led ethnic cleansing campaign.

I realise I'm just a freak, but living in a multicultural city is the best thing of all time, it's just the best possible human experience and i can not understand why anyone on earth would be like "weve got to destroy this"

For @msnownews.bsky.social, I wrote an article about how ICE Watch is grounded in sociological theories of violence prevention. The reality is that most men will only commit public violence in extremely specific scenarios and ICE Watch disrupts the conditions necessary for escalation.

ICE/CBP is following school busses now. My husband (a school bus driver) was just in an urgent all-hands meeting about it this afternoon.

New: We built an interactive map of every ICE contractor working with the Trump administration. readsludge.com/2026/01/16/t...

ICE has kidnapped so many people from their cars that the city had to put out this statement. Let that sink in.

I have the utmost respect for Senator Kaine and Senator Warner but we do not need “coaching” on redistricting coming from a cuck chair in the corner. How about you all stay focused on the fascist in the White House and let us handle redistricting in Virginia. 10-1

If anyone was still pretending this isn’t just about excluding trans kids from public life, the Trump administration just opened a Title IX investigation into a Maine school district because a trans student is on a *co-ed* cheerleading squad.

WASHINGTON (AP) - Judge hands offshore wind industry another victory against Trump in clearing the way for a New York project.

Lewiston, Maine: “One property manager whose tenants are almost exclusively African immigrants showed a reporter a form being passed around so undocumented parents could designate temporary guardians for their children in the event of their arrest.”

seeing corporate outlets repeatedly refer to ICE beating the shit out of protesters as “clashes” may be the thing that sends me over the edge

Just so people outside of MN know - a lot of the US citizens getting “arrested” by ICE never get processed at Whipple. They are roughed up during the arrest and then often dropped off miles from where they were picked up. It means we don’t know the true scale of what ICE is doing based on ICE stats

Until Jan. 20, 2025 much of what DHS has posted on X could have got you kicked out of the military for extremism

published this and was then immediately without internet for 3+ hours to share it so please read 🙏

It’s time to stop the influx of immigrants who take drugs, father children out of wedlock, and steal from the government. by Elon Musk

The Minneapolis mayor and police chief do not get it. By admonishing protesters, they are telling the WRONG PEOPLE to de-escalate and remain peaceful. They literally told everyone to go home tonight. This is not going to solve their problem.

Worth noting that the family fleeing in a car that were flashbanged, including the 6 month-old baby, were Black. While parts of what are happening is new, parts of it are very familiar to Black Americans. The gassing of entire neighborhoods. The smashing in of doors.

the problem with an untrained secret police squad that shoots people in their cars isn’t that they’re untrained

we're watching it all start to fall apart and our leaders are telling us to make sure we color inside the lines while they shoot flashbangs at our kids

Another vehicle opened. Back was full of license plates, gear, various fed patches.

A single federal agent with a long gun just walked through the crowd, slipped on the ice on his way under the police tape. Dropped his loaded clip.

Non-protesting dad just trying to hustle his kids, as young as 6mo, out of the neighborhood. ICE threw a flash-bang INTO HIS car, all 6 kids in the hospital now. If anyone wondered how things turn against occupying armies there's a case study playing out in front of you.

“Basic criminal law is that intentional murder requires mens rea and actus rea–criminal intent and criminal act,” says an Alabama defense attorney. “Where is that in felony murder? It’s not there, there’s zero intent.”

1/ I recently wrote about Frances Perkins—FDR’s Labor Secretary and first woman cabinet member. She is best known as the architect of the New Deal but she had a lesser-known achievement: She dismantled her era’s version of ICE.🧵

Here are videos sent to me of the incident Frey details (1/2)

NEW: A GoFundMe campaign for the ICE agent who killed Renee Good has raised $450,000 -- despite the fact that it clearly, directly violates GoFundMe's terms of service:

They know who lives closer to these pollution sources and this is eugenics

We need less research framing the problem facing our country as "polarization" and more research framing the problem as "anti-democratic radicalization".

Patty, a woman observer in Minneapolis, was abducted from a car by federal agents today. She was released and talked about her experience in custody. An agent said, "You guys gotta stop obstructing us. That's why that lesbian bitch is dead." 🙏🏼 @statuscoupnews.bsky.social

Philadelphia Sheriff Rochelle Bilal warns ICE: "No law enforcement professional wears a mask... Those that come into our communities wearing a mask to commit crime... You getting arrested". "Fake wannabe law enforcement... The criminal in the WH will not be able to keep you from going to jail".

Apropos of absolutely nothing to do with the masked men with no visible agency insignia carrying crates of who knows what out of the shooter's house, but HBO just released an amazing documentary into DHS "shadow units" whose job was to destroy evidence of Border Patrol's crimes

the sooner they all realize this the better.

Black people five years ago: you know, they can kill anyone they want to out there Everybody today: hot damn, did you know they can kill anyone they want to out there?

The idea that our demand for human rights and equality has to be packaged perfectly with a bow on top is tiresome. Hopefully this moment demonstrates how the failure to address law enforcement excess is now (through ICE actions) recognized as a threat to democracy in this country.

I think one reason we haven't seen local or state police told to arrest ICE (et al) agents on charges of murder or attempted murder is because it's not clear whether police would comply. Political leaders may or may not actually be in charge of law enforcement; they don't want to test it.

An Oregon lawmaker is warning of ICE agents posing as utility workers. NW Natural and Portland General Electric have published guidance in several languages on how to tell if a person is actually one of their employees.

“Words like ‘freedom,’ ‘justice,’ ‘democracy’ are not common concepts; on the contrary, they are rare. People are not born knowing what these are. It takes enormous and, above all, individual effort to arrive at the respect for other people that these words imply.” — James Baldwin

ICE killed a Black man, Keith Porter, 7 days before Renee Good, and I hadn't heard about it until today. His vigils went unnoticed. His life came and gone and America forgot to blink. Two Americas.

New: we've obtained material explaining how an ICE surveillance system, called Webloc, works. Draw shape on a map, see all phones available there, follow them home. All without warrant “This is a very dangerous tool in the hands of an out-of-control agency.” www.404media.co/inside-ices-...

Can you imagine if AOC released a video right now saying "the tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants"? They'd absolutely lose their shit even though they've been saying things like this since Obama's first term

The Trace has maintained a database tracking the people shot by federal agents as part of immigration enforcement:

It has been an obvious, sometimes even almost stated project of Trump 2.0 to engineer a redo of the post George Floyd protests of 2020, this time with much more state violence. And now a federal agent has shot and killed a woman in a car at point blank range a mile from where Floyd was murdered.

This is just the beginning.

ice agents simply aren't trained well enough to be on the street. they are a genuine danger to citizens
