I was scrolling through these videos, and while the subject matter is dire, I want to shout out Liam (from Council President Payne's Office) Liam - ‪I don't know if there is any staffer in the country doing more right now. Thank you, and stay in the fight, brother. @liam2manynames.bsky.social‬

This isn’t over.

Today ICE caused a multi-vehicle crash in St Paul so bad that someone was sent to the hospital. This is the opposite of keeping us safe. They have been active around NE today & we know school dismissal is always a peak time for them so please get out if you can & help keep our community safe.

Her ignorance and ignoring the people she’s hurting and damaging… gives meaning to the saying a ‘picture is worth 1000 words!’ #Trump‘sAmerica

The protesters in Minnesota and the around the country have shown incredible strength, courage and love for their fellow Americans. And so far, they are not taking the bait ICE is throwing their way. These are the kind of heroes and patriots this country needs.

An 18 year old was taken today in the Hennepin County Government Center. Any leader thinking collaborating with ICE will be good and help end this surge is forgetting that no one in our community is expendable.

In case you’re wondering if whistling and cameras work, today when agents were coming out of Burger King and I was at the door directly in front of them as they walked out they went “oh fuck” and quickly pulled up their masks and ran back to their car before driving off.

Council President Payne: "there's no more urgent crisis than what we're going through right now." City's bond rating won't matter when it feels like we're on the brink of civil war.

Watch this meeting to see which Council Members are actually trying to meet the moment and fight for their neighbors suffering under this ICE occupation. Some CMs have been parroting Trump talking points saying rental assistance is fraudulent and discriminatory. www.youtube.com/live/0PvI9zQ...

I’m sharing Aliya’s entire opening statement. We owe it to her, and those who no longer have a voice, to watch. youtu.be/zrcW8SZtYpI?...

Picture from my ride in today. It feels weird going to City hall to sit in our chambers while our community is being terrorized by ICE, but I’m proud we’ll be bringing forward proposals to fund rental assistance and immigration legal services at our committee of the whole meeting today.

ICE is obsessed with little kids. newrepublic.com/post/205719/...

ICE needs to be DISMANTLED NOW. Unconditionally. Not “Reigned In” (Sorry Tina Smith), not Reformed. ICE is an agency that is operating outside the law and murdering people. ICE is not redeemable. Alex & Renee deserve Justice. END ICE.

One guy is definitely still here and the other is hopefully on the shame train out of town @liam2manynames.bsky.social

Waite Park Tonight

“You can’t turn the Titanic around in a day” JD Vance 1-22-26

“FUCK ICE”

We’ve seen multiple ICE cars this morning outside of Waite Park and Cavell Park. Make sure you have eyes on your neighborhood today, and dress warm.

I came to Minneapolis to report on what's going on, and one of the main questions I showed up with is "just what is the scale of the resistance?" After all, we're all used to the news calling Portland a "war zone" or whatever when it's just some protests in one part of town.

Best votes I've ever cast in my life were for this man.

I want everyone to know that you’re not doing this alone. Our community is united, and we’re going to win.

Michele Tafoya vs Royce White; won’t lie, I’m here for it 🍿

Tail between legs. Trump cancels his tariff threat over Greenland, says NATO agreed to 'framework' of future Arctic deal: apnews.com/article/trum...

Wow. #NoKings #Davos2026

Washington Post (I know) on the ground with folks peacefully resisting ICE. wapo.st/4jLRnXk

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"

Another person taken today in Northeast. ICE left their car out in the road and pepper sprayed legal observers, directly violating a federal judge’s orders from earlier this week.

This fella too!

These fellas!

Here's a positive message about a politician: Council President Elliot Payne has been in the streets every single day working for his community. ICE even assaulted him for it. He leads by example, putting himself between ICE and the people even though he's at particular risk of harm as a Black man.

We need more people out asap. Multiple people have been taken this morning and we don’t have nearly the coverage we’ve had the last week

Thank you Councilman Payne and your staff (Liam, I believe) for protecting Minnesota neighbors.

I want to let you all know something important that I hope motivates you to keep showing up. I get daily calls from neighbors who speak Spanish who want me to let you all know they are grateful for those looking out and patrolling. Our community is thankful. Minneapolis is full of heroes.

ICE just confronted us in our car saying it’s our first & final warning. There’s nothing illegal about driving your car safely on Stinson, Lowry, or any street in our community. They are purposefully surging at school get out times terrorizing our families. Ice needs to stay away from our kids.

That’s my Council Member & Friend getting shoved/assaulted by ICE. ICE, in fact, shoved him another time, not on the video.

It should also be noted the Council President was assaulted and it was filmed by another City Council Member @jchavezmpls.bsky.social This is the world we are living in

i can’t say enough about the work that @elliottpayne.org, @doronclark.bsky.social, and @liam2manynames.bsky.social and many other NE’s are doing in SD60 trying to keep people safe from ICE. They are out on the streets, doing the work.

2 more people were abducted from our Ward today. No one should have to live like this. Help protect your neighbors defend612.com

Great question. We track ICE agents in real time, we show up en masse when they try to kidnap our neighbors, and we blow whistles and honk horns and bully them until they flee with their coward tails between their legs. We do this many times a day, every day. Thank you for asking

Bovino and ICE terrorized Central Ave today and took 2 people, including a legal observer. I’m proud of how Northeast showed up and said clearly get out of our neighborhood and never cone back. Get involved and learn your rights at defend612.com

Not only have @doronclark.bsky.social & @elliottpayne.org been providing great regular updates to constituents, but today I also witnessed them both confront ICE agents in our community and then those ICE left without kidnapping neighbors. Let’s join them out in our community defend612.com

Northeast neighbors standing strong to Bovino and ice on Central & Lowry 3pm Friday @liam2manynames.bsky.social

Also spotted: The best Minneapolis City Council member, @elliottpayne.org, serving as a legal observer.

We just chased off ICE from taking 2 young men by our public housing high rise and then immediately ran off another convoy from the target at the Quarry. Activity is very high today, we need people out patrolling and protecting their neighbors defend612.com

The NYT’s “quote of the day” today is a wrenching one from our City Council president

If the Trump administration really cared about public safety in Minneapolis, they would allow a joint investigation with the State/County. Full transparency helps ease tensions. Transparency and accountability leads to peace. Renee Good’s life mattered and was valued.

If you’re wondering the impact of community patrol, ICE just tried to take one of our residents on 23rd and Central and because so many community members responded, we stopped them and ICE left. Sign up to join patrols and protect your neighbors defend612.com

We can’t trust the federal government to investigate themselves. We need the BCA to be apart of the investigation. Renee Nicole Good should be alive and her family and our whole community deserves justice and accountability after Jonathan Ross and ICE killed her in our streets.

If you are a small business or property owner, you have the right to not allow ICE onto your property without a signed judicial warrant. Please come out to Central Ave to support our immigrant owned businesses and look out for your neighbors. Know your rights: www.minneapolismn.gov/government/p...
