You can argue about draw-down numbers, but even if zero agents remain in Minnesota by Monday, the damage, economic and psychological, the fear, the apprehension, and mistrust, will take years, if not decades, to repair.

Last week a border patrol agent was filmed pepper-spraying a detained protester at point-blank range.

identified agent as Tyler Gramlin. For

I asked Gramlin for comment. His response? He sent me a weird far-right "Amelia" meme. "DEFEND YOUR HOMELAND," it said.

We're going to see a lot of posts like this, written in the past tense, as talking heads put a bow on their social media engagements with Minnesota and move on. Know that nothing is in the past tense for residents here.

The terror that ICE and CBP have inflicted on the children of the Twin Cities is, by itself, a crime of scandalous proportions that will forever stain this country's moral fabric, and all those responsible should never know another day of peace.

This video filmed by Ben Luhmann shows the moment a federal agent sprayed chemical irritants directly into a man's face in south Minneapolis. Three agents already had the man pinned to the ground when a fourth agent walked up and sprayed the irritants.

I grew up in rural N. Minnesota. There's a fascinating diversity of people all over the fucking place. But yeah, if you only interview people day drinking and watching Price Is Right on TV in some dive bar, then yes, you are likely to meet the area's incurious and unintelligent contingent.

Left my home in Longfellow for a morning doctor's appt in Uptown. ICE all over my neighborhood streets. Neighbors standing on streetcorners bundled up, guarding elementary schools. Horns honking outside the doctor's office as a kidnapping force drives by.

A teenage boy was walking home in Minneapolis yesterday when four masked men jumped out of a van & questioned him - with no parent or guardian present. He was bundled into the van & taken away. Bystanders heard the boy say: “Can I just go home?” I don’t know how America comes back from all this.

This is the heart of it. Any press coverage that gullibly paints this partisan punitive campaign of retribution as "fighting crime" or "enforcing immigration laws" is actively complicit in a government campaign to punish dissent.
