I really can't state this enough. Federal agents have been teargassing parks and residential neighborhoods for weeks but didn't show up for a fight downtown today and look what didn't happen. Wishing absolute worst wishes to our occupying forces. GTFO of Minnesota.

Heyyy this is fun

FBI agent who tried to probe ICE officer in Minnesota shooting resigns, New York Times reports reut.rs/463jBXV

Tomorrow's front page of the Minnesota Star Tribune: Jan. 24, 2026

I'm not one for false optimism. But what I witnessed today in Minneapolis was tremendous, both in scale and exuberance. It was a stunning answer to the federal assault on Minnesota, a show of solidarity that gives us something to hold on to during times that are unforgiving.

Fifty thousand? Even five thousand would have been a great showing. This is solidarity

Minnesota is the best of us.

This is such an important point. This family tried to follow the rules. The distinction is going to get more important when they start mass deporting the people whose TPS status Trump revoked. They’ll call them “illegal” too, even though they were here legally until Trump yanked the rug.

ICE detain yet another minor child—chase him down his own street and tackle him to pavement. "I am legal! I am legal!" he cries over and over in Spanish. Agent pins the boy down in snow—he desperately tries to keep his exposed hands from freezing at -25°F wind chill temperature. Minneapolis, MN

NEW: We're getting declarations in Tincher v. Noem (the MN TRO case), where residents are testifying that ICE/CBP agents continue to harass and abuse protestors and observers. www.courtlistener.com/docket/72047... Here is part of Zoë Cantu's declaration.

This ICE observer had her TSA-Pre-check revoked. www.courtlistener.com/docket/72047... "Three days after the interaction, on January 13th, I received an email notice that my Global Entry/TSA-Pre Check privilege for passing through airport security had been revoked."

Another day in Minnesota thanks to ICE

Scenes from occupied Minneapolis (Warning: video is disturbing)

Well the "so far" turned out to be prescient. Sources tell me that St. Paul School Board member Chauntyl Allen has also been arrested in connection with the church protest, making her the first elected official to be arrested in connection with the ongoing ICE activity.

This is another sickening event. Arrested for protesting at a church.

Oh these are very fun to read. Subscribe to @basketunderreview.bsky.social or else you love ICE

I spent a couple hours tonight distracted by Kentucky basketball, which was nice. They went 4-12 on layups and still won!

Look at this torture

ICE just detained a 5-year-old child. Don’t tell us this is about “the worst of the worst.” That’s a lie. Absolutely vile.

They are LYING every time something happens

An attempted traffic stop by two ICE agents did not involve the man they ultimately shot in north Minneapolis. Details from a FBI agent's sworn affidavit contradict what DHS officials initially stated — and later repeated for several days — about the highly charged encounter.

This makes me sick to my stomach

…aaaand there’s the benefit to Trump nominating a massive number of judges. It’s hard for something to get through appellate process without at some point getting in front of a Trump nominee who wasn’t particularly qualified and is willing to be partisan.

How do you think you’ll feel when the paramilitary drives by your kid’s elementary school in a show of force? I hope you never have to find out.

DHS lies as a matter of habit

God this is all so stupid and petty, what a completely spineless federal government

This shouldn’t be happening

New— An American citizen boarding flight from Boston to Lisbon just now told me after showing boarding pass, every passenger stopped on jetway by two ICE agents demanding to take their photo. When passenger asked why, ICE threatened to detain them. If they said no photo, couldn't board/TBD detained.

Good lord, this is bad. I’d say we need charges for those involved, but the Justice Dept is a little compromised right now. Next President, add this to the list.

WIRED talks to a postal worker, a teacher, two US citizens detained by federal agents, and six more Minnesota residents about life in an occupied American city. www.wired.com/story/how-ic...

I know this is a Sports Website but tonight I’d like a little politics and world news content, but really only if it’s jokes/news about a dying leader

I'm being told he drowned in the toilet. He was drinking from the toilet like usual but something went wrong. CPR was not administered because everyone thought it was too gross

Just so we’re clear, nobody in any way associated with this administration gets a shred of credit if they pull back ICE from MN if Trump kicks it. They are all part of the problem now, they don’t get credit for anything.

C’mon y’all I am trying to get to bed, I need frequent updates OR someone definitively saying this is nothing.

oh wow it's really bad that that's HIS understanding of what the insurrection act does

It’s notable that the president can go on TV and be a total gutter racist, and somehow this isn’t news in the slightest. Says a lot about the sickness of American society right now.

My goodness, roasted

Jones: You want to go through a list? Go through the list of perverts who hang out at Mar-A-Lago. Go through that list.

In my suburb, the police would not speak out against ICE tactics so I appreciate this.

Brooklyn Park police chief Mark Bruley: "We're hearing people being stopped with no cause & being demanded to show paperwork to determine if they're here legally. We started hearing from our police officers the same complaints. Every one of these individuals is a person of color... it has to stop"

i can't believe this was one year ago.

I spoke to a friend on the Immigrant Law Center of Minnesota board. They need financial donations to keep up with the heightened demand for their services: www.ilcm.org ILCM is a nonprofit that provides free immigration legal representation to low-income immigrants and refugees in MN & ND

New — I wrote about ChongLy Scott Thao, the elderly Hmong American wrongly arrested and forced out of his home by ICE in his underwear during the punishing Minnesota winter, what witnesses saw, and DHS's racist claim that he fit the description of another Asian man they were looking for. My story:

Not a single note wrong, play this tune on repeat

I’ve been writing Popular Information for 8 years, and this is one of the most important stories I’ve ever published. This is a humanitarian crisis that has gone unreported.

It’s stunning what Cignetti has done at Indiana. I thought Dawn Staley at South Carolina was the best turnaround of a program, but this is better.

May Minnesota's business leaders someday find the courage of our high school journalists: www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

ICE also claimed the women they shot and killed was trying to run them over so we’re gonna need some actual evidence before we listen to those scammers

An FBI agent conducted an initial review of the Renee Good killing and determined sufficient grounds existed to open a civil rights probe into the actions of the ICE officer who shot her. Justice Department says no inquiry is warranted. @perrystein.bsky.social www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...

Isaiah Blackwell used his body as a shield in guiding Jake Lang away from counterprotesters before two Black women were his unexpected getaway drivers. Former Minneapolis Mayor R.T. Rybak said, “Lang saw that Black man as less than him. The Black man saw Lang as a human being.”
