Excellent reporting by the @pressherald.com on the ICE surge in Maine this year. Despite official assurances that local law enforcement did not cooperate, the reality belies that: www.pressherald.com/2026/03/12/p...

Some of the unsung heroes of what's happening in Minnesota are those willing to go "on the record" with their experiences. Not everyone can, but people are so afraid of retaliation from feds & it's made it very hard to report on what's happening. So, big kudos for refusing to be intimidated.

Have you seen or heard drones in your neighborhood at night? You're not alone. Story from @jcollins.bsky.social www.mprnews.org/story/2026/0...

ICE is not just aggressive in case after case, courts are finding that the agency is operating outside the law. Federal judges across the country are issuing injunctions, and ICE is violating those orders too. Here's the pattern.

A Minneapolis woman who opposed ICE woke up to a drone outside her second floor bedroom window. A man delivering groceries to a suburban distro house for mutual aid recorded a drone hovering above the house. Whose drones and why? (1) www.mprnews.org/story/2026/0...
