As visiting @mnufc.com fans, we were overwhelmed today by the solidarity displayed by @losverdesatx.bsky.social supporters. They waved Minnesota state flags during their march, wrote messages on one, and brought all the flags up to us in our section. Thank you! #fuckice #mnufc #austinfc #classact

And of the small percentage (23%) who DID have “criminal” charges, the vast majority were *traffic violations.* Just plain old ethnic cleansing

Small by mighty 💪 The Minneapolis Public Works mini snowplow hits the streets to keep bike lanes clear this winter.

An ICE agent shot and killed Ruben Ray Martinez, a US citizen and San Antonio resident, in March 2025. Then ICE and the Texas Department of Public Safety covered it up. He was 23 years old. I am calling for a full investigation into this shooting, including why there was an 8-month cover up.

Meet the Toolcat 🐈 Minneapolis Public Works is using it to keep sidewalks safe this winter.

BIG NEWS! The Minneapolis City Council unanimously passed the $7 million Small Business Resiliency Fund I brought forward with my colleagues. This will support activation and small businesses impacted by “Operation Metro Surge”. 1/

"Operation Metro Surge" has had a horrific impact on our neighborhoods, communities and loved ones. Join us on Sunday, February 22, 2026, at 2323 11th Ave South at 1:30PM to gather with Phillips and Powderhorn neighbors to honor, reflect, organize, and plan for what comes next.

Of all the things we are doing in MN, this one is just beyond. Imagine being released from hell alone in the cold. And a total stranger has waited all night with a blanket just to be ready to hug you and carry you home. Every job we do is crucial, but this one is what restores humanity and dignity.

Crazy ICE experiences yesterday! Four ICE vehicles boxed me in outside my own house after following me home and trying to have me arrested. Watch the video for details!

“I don’t want to be in this place I want to go to my school.” - 7 year old imprisoned by ICE for 70 days in a concentration camp in Texas. Today, after @propublica.org published this story, the camp was raided to confiscate letters from the children. www.propublica.org/article/ice-...

To commentate Valentine’s Day, community members and Recovery Bike Shop help put hearts along central at spots where our community members were taken. In the last 3 months at least 38 people have been taken around central Ave.

NEW: Minnesota United CSO Khaled El-Ahmad on adding James Rodriguez to “evolve the culture,” a late-winter surprise in a “mentally tough” moment amidst Metro Surge. “This is the right place for him because of the community, how we stand up for each other.” www.theguardian.com/football/202...

WCCO looks at one day's worth of petitions for release filed by those arrested during ICE surge. Majority with no criminal record. People were picked up on the way to get prescriptions, going to work, and showing up for scheduled immigration check ins. www.cbsnews.com/minnesota/ne...

Ending this operation is not enough. We need justice and accountability. That starts with independent investigations into the murders of Renee Good and Alex Pretti, economic restitution for businesses impacted, abolishing ICE, and the impeachment of Kristi Noem.

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.

UPDATE: He was just released. This shows that just indiscriminately took someone because they were Latino. Their illegal tactics continue so we still need neighbors to patrol, observe, and support our immigrant community.

THEY ARE BUYING UP WAREHOUSES TO HOLD HUMAN BEINGS IN DETENTION INDEFINITELY. I feel crazy at how everyone is acting like this is normal. These are concentration camps being built right before our eyes. These buildings are not meant to house human beings. People will be caged like cattle and die.

Super Bowl viewers Sunday speculated that 5-year-old Liam Conejo Ramos appeared in the halftime show. In fact, he has been in hiding with his family. “He can’t sleep well at night. He wakes up three or four times a night screaming, ‘Daddy, Daddy,’” Liam's father Adrian Conejo Arias, said.

Another classic post-Homan day where around school dismissal time we get a flurry of ICE vehicles all across our neighborhoods. Today one vehicle led an observer to their own home and pointed at it. This is a sick game to them, but we won’t be intimidated and we won’t stop until DHS is abolished.

1/ ProPublica collected handwritten letters in mid-January from children held at the Dilley Immigration Processing Center, the same facility where 5-year-old Liam Conejo Ramos was taken. Hundreds of kids are still detained. We’ll let the children’s words speak for themselves. 🧵

I think one thing people outside Minnesota don't understand is that after Good and Pretti were killed by feds while observing, the most normal people you could imagine have made peace with the fact that they could be next, and they are still out there because they say it's the right thing to do.

ICE told nurses this Minneapolis man “purposefully ran headfirst into a brick wall.” What actually happened is that they pulled him from a car, beat him so viciously with a steel baton that he had 8 skull fractures, 5 life-threatening brain hemorrhages, and couldn’t remember he had a daughter.

2 people were abducted by ICE this am from outside a laundromat a few blocks from today’s Renee Good vigil location at Powderhorn Park. Terrorizing another family & the community before people gather to mourn. Just terrible.

Mamdani: "I speak of Renee Good, whose final words to the man who murdered her were, 'I'm not mad at you.' I speak of Alex Pretti who died as he lived, caring for the stranger. ICE shot him bc he did something they could never fathom ... let us offer a new path: one of defiance through compassion."

U.S. Rep. Kelly Morrison said detainees at the Whipple Federal Building outside Minneapolis are sleeping on the concrete floor with tinfoil-like blankets. Morrison was able to tour the immigration detention facility to observe conditions after a previous attempt was denied. Video by Alex Kormann

This cannot be reformed.

We reviewed more than 100 Minnesota license plates attached to immigration enforcement vehicles in recent weeks. We found that nearly 60% were not registered with the state of Minnesota, including the Chevy Tahoe that federal agent Jonathan Ross traveled in the day he fatally shot Renee Good.

welp, this destroyed me first thing upon waking up

You have to understand that these are fundamentally bad people with hatred in their hearts.

Striking from new Quinnipiac poll: *Voters prefer path to legalization over deportations for most undocs by 59-34. Among independents it's 61-33 *Majority says Trump on immigration is making America less safe Again, there's broad rejection of the whole project, not just ICE tactics (see below)

Most of the footage you see from ICE observers in Minnesota comes from the core cities of Minneapolis and St. Paul. I talked to observers in the northern suburbs, who say they're taking on the same mission in very different conditions. (1) share.google/ei9giIFLsuEJ...

Luke Ganger, Renee Good’s brother: “In the last few weeks, our family took some consolation thinking that perhaps ‘Nee’s death would bring about change in our country. It has not.”

ICE detained multiple kids (all under the age of 10!) in the last week alone. Still kidnapping people based solely on the way they look. Still arresting parents at school pick up. Nothing has changed in Minnesota. Nice words from the Admin won’t change that. ICE leaving will.

ICE enforcement in MN continues to be so harmful, illegal, & just stupid. In last 2 days, I’ve personally witnessed: -6 ICE vehicles stop someone on 35W, detain them for 30+ min, & then release them 1/3

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.

“You are good to go.” Good to go?!?! This is what ICE tells a young woman they tossed out into dangerously freezing temperatures after four agonizing days in detention at Whipple. Today’s front page Strib report: www.startribune.com/no-humanity-...

Thousands in Minneapolis ride to remember Alex Pretti & say ICE Out!

Today we ride to remember Alex Pretti and all the victims of ICE. See you at 1!

ICE is quietly reshaping daily life in greater MN, too. In Willmar, more than 1,200 of 4,000 students were absent recently -- both white and BIPOC, teacher Tammy Knapper says. ICE detained a 19-year-old student for five days. Trauma takes the place of learning. Something must change. #edmnvotes

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.

CNN in Minneapolis: We are seeing thousands and thousands of people, we've been standing on the corner here for the past ten minutes. This this crowd has not let up. It's just continuous.

BREAKING: Bernie Sanders is introducing an amendment to cut ICE’s $75 billion funding increase, and to use those funds to restore the federal cuts to health care.

🔊 The federal government is arresting Minnesotans simply for bearing witness to their atrocities. So this morning, over a thousand of us marched to the Whipple Federal Detention Center to say: If you want to punish some of us, you’ll have to punish all of us. #ICEOutOfMN #ICEOutNow

Thousands of people filled the streets of downtown Minneapolis in protest of federal immigration enforcement for the second consecutive Friday. 📷️: Aaron Lavinsky

Minneapolis stands firm in supporting our neighbors and saying ICE OUT NOW!

Awful to even try to catalogue the harm being done here in MN. Educational harms, students out school? At least months. Economic harms, from empty, half-functioning businesses? At least years. Civic and psychic harms, from shattering the basic sense of safety? Decades. Stolen neighbors? Forever.

There are 3,800 kids in ICE custody.

‘I don’t have words’: 2 more kids from Liam Ramos’ Columbia Heights school taken into ICE custody www.mprnews.org/story/2026/0...

My vote against DHS/ICE funding was for every Minnesotan afraid to leave their house, every Minnesotan who has been unfairly targeted, and every Minnesotan volunteering in freezing temperatures to keep our communities safe.   Minnesotans haven’t given up, and neither will I.
