YOU CAN PRINT THAT... honestly, too many outlets not being able to share this obvious and dangerous truth is a big part of how we've gotten to where we are.

There has been no draw down today. ICE snatched someone off Central Ave out of his car because he looked Latino before then letting him go a couple hours later. They were stopping people in Blaine on highway 65, they were all around Fridley, and were in the parking lot of the St Anthony liquor store

“You expect them to be arresting the murderers and the pedophiles, and it’s been the gardeners and the housekeepers and the roofers and the construction guys and the adopted kid from Guatemala who’s been here for 30 years and was pulled over in the Aldi parking lot,” he said."

The problem with just advocating for ICE to leave Minnesota but not to dismantle it entirely is that they are capable of doing this again, any time, anywhere. Don’t advocate for the harm to continue elsewhere. Advocate for the harm to end everywhere forever.

Someone was abducted at 10 AM by ICE on Central Ave. Their coworker says they’ve lived here for over 20 years, are documented, and have 3 kids who were born here. Don’t be fooled by headlines when they’ve been lying to us the whole time. We still need you out patrolling until every agent is gone.

Every photo from Minneapolis looks like this. Cops decked out with guns and full tac gear facing off against people in bathrobes, parkas, and sweatpants armed only with whistles and cell phones. Yet every verified MAGA chode on X dutifully calls it a riot or violent insurrection.

This morning Tom Homan announced operation metro surge would end soon. I’ll believe it when I see it. We still need people out and staying vigilant until every last agent is gone and everyone wrongly taken to Texas or anyone else is back home.

He literally says in this clip that ICE will keep in Minnesota “quick reaction forces” — a military term — to go after “agitators.” Remember that those on the ground in MPLS have spent more than a week trying to tell everyone that Trump’s prior “deescalation” was a ruse and ICE is still operational

People do not understand the long-term social and economic consequences of this endless assault. It's as if we're going through a second, local COVID epidemic, except without a dime of federal financial support. It's like the federal government is at war with the entire region.

again: what’s it like working in healthcare during a federal occupation? i implore comrades of #medsky 🩺and to a certain extent #lawsky ⚖️ to pay attention to what they’re doing to us here & over prepare as much as feasible

I don’t really know what I expect in posting this, but maybe some people see it and can learn from it. I’ll call it “lessons from an unwilling immigration attorney.” 1/

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.

They published it www.startribune.com/readers-writ...

Funny how the “immigration crisis” seems to show up exactly where the political grudges live. This looks personal.

Don’t look away from MN. ICE is still wreaking havoc across the state - changing their tactics to deceive Minnesotans - pretending to be construction workers or folks delivering groceries. Still over 2,000 ICE agents in the state. They’re not going anywhere, your anger and outrage shouldn’t either.

Minnesota is currently under an economic blockade. So @amyklobuchar.com what are you gonna do? How many businesses are we going to lose without a bailout?

journalists need to stop saying “immigration enforcement” and start saying “ethnic cleansing.” DHS and ICE are forgoing immigration laws and procedures; they are abducting anyone who looks latino/hispanic. the facts are extremely clear that this is a white supremacist ethnic cleansing project.

In one 30-minute stretch, three legal observers were arrested — as Trump’s Border czar Tom Homan calls on locals to “end the resistance.”

“Collection of Handwritten Letters from Children in Detention Center” sounds like an exhibit in the Holocaust Museum.

The need is not ending. If anything, it’s getting worse the longer this occupation goes on. Families are self-deporting out of desperation. Please try to make your giving and your attention sustainable. This may be a long process — and rebuilding will be lengthy even after 🧊 leaves.

Northfield, Minnesota-South of Minneapolis 😩👇🏼

My colleague got into Trump's sprawling family detention camp, which is full of toddlers, kids, & teens. - Kids have cut themselves or talked about suicide -There's worms & mold in food -300 kids have been held for 30+ days, far longer court settlement allows www.propublica.org/article/life...

people not in MN cannot comprehend how hating ICE is now a core cultural component of being Minnesotan. it’s babe the big blue ox, loons, hot dish, and ICE OUT NOW

I'm not even sure if the rest of Minneapolis is clear on how much things have ramped up in North Minneapolis

DID YOU KNOW? If you have Delta Sky Miles, you can donate them to help a kidnapped-and-released person fly home! They are set free on the streets of El Paso or another Texas town with no phone, no money, nothing at all. Your miles can get them back to their loved ones!

As someone who was born in Ukraine and came to Minneapolis with my family as refugees..... Big uffda.

Kiddies who made it out of the ICE dungeon report sighting a schoolmate. Before this, the school district had no information on their whereabouts. The family has now been connected with a lawyer. Youngsters who escape a govt dungeon are the only way to track abducted children? This is fine!

Okay folks in real estate and planning, let’s be clear here: concentration camps are not an allowed use in any zoning code, anywhere.

happening this morning in Minneapolis -- ICE agents drawing guns on observers. I reiterate again that it is only a matter of time before DHS kills more innocent people in Minnesota. Congress needs to shut this shit down right now.

The videos of the abduction today in heavy traffic in Columbia Heights is truly one of the most dystopian things I’ve seen since Alex’s murder. Ice surrounded a vehicle in heavy traffic boxing it in and then pulled everyone out of the car while other people were honking and then they just took off.

If my caucus is any indication, Democrats in the cities currently occupied by ICE want the whole damn thing abolished actually.

Listen up!

Abolish ICE. There’s no reforming it. There’s no compromise. There’s only one way to rein in ICE’s terror campaign. Abolish it.

For those objecting to comparisons between Germany then & the U.S. now: “About 500 seniors live at Sinai Residences in Boca Raton, Florida, including many Holocaust survivors. Recently, some of them asked if they could hide the building’s Haitian staff in their apartments.”

DIY traffic circles come to Cedar Ave in south Mpls, which has long had cars driving too fast on it. I remember after George Floyd, some me I know saw lots of cars without license plates driving up Cedar. Prolly some of the same ppl who are ICE now and used to be 3%ers.

One year ago

The Alex Pretti Memorial Ride in Minneapolis today was massive and so powerful to be a part of. I've seen estimates of 3-5 thousand riders, taking up to an hour for the ride to pass through an intersection.

In a scathing order, a judge orders the release of 5-year-old Liam Conejo Ramos and his father. “Philadelphia, September 17, 1787: "Well, Dr. Franklin, what do we have?" "A republic, if you can keep it." With a judicial finger in the constitutional dike, It is so ORDERED.”

ICE needs to be ripped down to the studs. We need to start over and hold this Administration accountable for this mess.   Nothing has changed. Minnesota is still suffering and sending in a new guy to run ICE won’t change that – but Congress can.

-Leave Minneapolis, stop terrorizing -End arrests without warrants -stay away from schools/churches -hold the shooters accountable -leave citizens alone -take off masks -make detention facilities humane -impeach Noem

Ossoff: "This is a seismic event. This should have people across the country absolutely shook. This is a huge deal. This is an FBI raid on the Fulton County Elections office ... This is a shot across the bow at the midterm elections. He tried to steal power when he lost it in 2020."

I don't know a single parent who can see this image and not be stirred by equal parts love and rage.

This has been a day of horrors upon horrors. I saw him in the photo with TX Rep and was concerned about his health. This administration has so much blood on their hands.

"I find myself wondering if I still have a home here in Minnesota, in America, in the world of the people who get to decide who is valuable and who is not, who belongs and who does not, who lives and who dies." - Kao Kalia Yang, one of the best writers in MN and in the rest of the universe

Northfield Minnesota is home to Carleton College (where I went) and St Olaf. The town's motto is "Cows, Colleges, and Contentment." Also the site of Jesse James' last raid. Anyway it's about as bucolic a place as you can imagine. ICE isn't just terrorizing the Twin Cities.

I'm calling bullshit on the media narrative that Trump is "pivoting" and "deescalating" on his ICE raids. The threshold is this: As long as the military occupations and the treatment of US cities as enemy territory continue, there's no pivot. ICE out. 1/ (New piece) newrepublic.com/article/2057...

I live an hour north of Minneapolis and they’re here too. They’re rounding up workers in chicken processing plants and breweries.

This woman has more courage than every member of the Democratic leadership caucuses in Washington combined. And there are tens of thousands of everyday people just like her who are finding courage to confront evil face to face while our "leaders" dither and argue over semantics.
