Today's actions covered many bases: 1) Economic pressure through striking 2) A HUGE rally downtown 3) Civil disobedience at the airport 4) A direct confrontation at Whipple 5) Maintaining patrols/rapid response All of this despite being the coldest day in SIX years - we've got this, Minnesota.

Sheriff Witt responded pretty fast. I take exception to her suggestion the hat was "political expression". I see it as a fascist threat to comply or suffer the consequences and unabashed statement of support for the surge and all the harm it caused. And there we will disagree.

Hennepin County Sheriff's Office spotted today in Minnetonka with MAGA merch. After seeing flagrant cooperation with ICE over the past 6 months, we are not surprised at all. The police are partisan and do not serve the people.

H.R. 2853 expands the authority and infrastructure of Homeland Security Investigations (HSI), the ICE division heavily involved in Operation Metro Surge. Angie Craig voted for this bill on May 12th, months AFTER we saw the agency act with cruelty and violence in our communities.

On Friday, Minnesota had its 100th ICE Air flight of 2026. It's just another day Signature Aviation, the bizjet terminal - Medtronic's aircraft sits next to the chartered Eastern Air Express 737, as shackled men in shorts and PJ pants hobble aboard. Delta passes by, its passengers unaware. 🧵

Today will be 2026’s 100th ICE Air flight at MSP. Feds are still taking Minnesotans who are doing things the right way. Our airport authority is still failing to publicly acknowledge reality, provide transparency, or pressure Delta to flex its political muscle. We cannot stop paying attention.
