FBI won’t provide Minnesota investigators with evidence in Alex Pretti killing, state says minnesotareformer.com/briefs/fbi-w...

After explaining how teen driving is dangerous and expensive, the solution presented is not for the parents to advocate for making car-free transportation alternatives more available but to push the young people to drive by making them overcome their fears.

The cost of car infrastructure and car ownership is the primary force behind the affordability crisis. I will die on this hill. I am not persuadable.

Great turn out at the MIRAC rally & march today at Jackson Square Park. It was heart warming seeing our immigrant neighbors open their windows and cheer as we went through the neighborhood.

Glad this is getting covered, but also… Completely surreal to read the NYT report on this as recently disclosed info, and just an allegation. This happened to every observer I know! It happened to me twice! I have it on video both times! www.nytimes.com/2026/02/13/u...

This is a hell of a headline:

It only takes one spot of ice on your 50 degree bike ride in Minneapolis in February to make you end up on your ass. Could’ve lived without that ABOLISH ICE

all the media being stenographers for the feds and just repeating the drawdown nonsense should go to the whipple building today so they can see the same amount of masked men leaving in convoys of vehicles, and whatever this is too, and report accurately what’s happening on the ground in minnesota

The U.S. Department of Justice, citing evidence inconsistent with its earlier allegations, dropped felony charges against two men accused of assaulting a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agent before the agent shot one of the men in the leg.

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.

Shut. This. Shit. Down. No accountability = no funding Abolish ICE

Why is ICE seizing people’s phones and documents? minnesotareformer.com/2026/02/12/w...

US Olympic Curling Team member speaks out against ICE: "I'm proud to represent Team USA. But we'd be remiss if we didn't mention what's going on in Minnesota and what a tough time it's been. What's happening is wrong. There's no shades of gray."

"A modern-day concentration camp ... People have been killed by the staff here." Irish citizen Seamus Culleton has been in ICE detention since September, despite having a valid work permit and his own business in the US.

The ongoing immigration surge has created a climate of fear — not just for the criminals and undocumented immigrants they claim to be targeting — but for ordinary families trying to maintain the routines and normalcy of childhood. minnesotareformer.com/2026/02/10/t...

It’s depressing to see the conditions outside the Whipple Building with fences and barricades. If it looks like this outside, imagine what our neighbors are experiencing inside. 1/

A desperate plea sent to me by a Minneapolis resident who's been on the front lines since the beginning of the ICE occupation:

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

They are totally shutting down Whipple, where people have been continually protesting peacefully for a month. There is no more 1st Amendment. Forcing them to close aid station. #whipple #minneapolis #minnesota #iceout

Rest in peace Renee Good. Thank you for supporting our immigrant neighbors. You’ll always be our hero. 🕊️ 💜

Today marks one month after federal immigration agents murdered Renee Good. We are still demanding justice and the firing of these rogue ICE agents. I will see you all today at Powderhorn Park for her public memorial. Jason Chavez 1/

But the people are resilient and brave. Never count Minneapolis out, we're so back :)

MPD sweeps the Bloomington blockade

Watched MPD try to dismantle a community ICE filter at E 35th and Bloomington, cops pulled barricades away and they were replaced as quickly as they removed them. After 10 minutes MPD gave up and left, Community 1 - MPD 0

Protested in downtown Minneapolis this afternoon, did not expect the older white woman sect to be shouting “Fuck Ice!” for our hours long march through the city. People are pissed and the energy cannot be conveyed by video or audio, it must be witnessed. The people united cannot be defeated.

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."

‘One officer told me that I "had no chance of returning to Minnesota" and that "the best thing for (me] is self-deportation." … She offered me $2600 to self-deport. I refused. I wanted to talk to my attorney. They didn't tell me the judge had already ordered my release and return to Minnesota.’

Axios had a story today about how hard Minnesota’s economy is being hit and how slow the recovery could be. So, I’m going to take this opportunity to say that if you want to support the Twin Cities, you should plan a visit for this summer, spend some money here, & see how amazing it is for yourself.

Giving ICE body cameras doesn’t make us more safe. None of us trusts the government to be honest with saving the footage. Unless it goes to a secure cloud as it’s being recorded that can’t be corrupted, it’s not a win. ICE OUT!

ATTENTION. We have created a T-shirt to celebrate our neighbors fighting back against fascists. All profits will go to the Hamline Midway Supply Hub, helping our neighbors sheltering at home. This is a pre-order. You have until Feb 20th to order this sexy beast. www.blackhartstp.com/new-products...

For every Renee Good and Alex Pretti, there are an insane number of close calls like this where ICE just pull out guns and waive them around at bystanders. I couldn't even begin to count how many of my neighbors have had a gun stuck in their face by a masked agent in the last month.

I continue to love my local ACE.

I've heard from people in other cities "I'd like to see them try that in __!" No. No, you wouldn't. We have guns pointed in our faces in MN. I think you'd change your tune if this was happening to you, your family & your neighbors. Nobody knows EXACTLY how to do this. This is NEW to all of US.

This afternoon, federal agents returned to Powderhorn Park. There were 4 ICE vehicles staging at Powderhorn Park Recreation Center lot. This is a clear violation of city and park board policy. 1/

That means ~815k Minnesotans participated in the shutdown and ~310k in the strike. That would make Minnesota’s January 23 general strike one of the largest in history.

Predicting that this week we’ll hear more conciliatory words from the Administration regarding Minnesota (since they’re starting to realize that ICE has become politically toxic) but everyone outside of Minnesota needs to know that nothing on the ground has changed.

It’s true, Trump did win Minnesota in the last 3 Presidential elections and the Vikings are also 4 time Super Bowl champions. #shutthismotherfuckerup

It’s been 8 days and we still don’t know the names of the men who murdered Alex Pretti. DHS must be abolished. No ICE. No palantir surveillance police state. There’s no “fixing” a sociopathic agency designed to trample on our freedoms.

I ❤️ Minneapolis This ride was incredible, especially our interactions with folks at the memorials and with neighbors cheering on from their windows/porches. ICE out, now.

Proud of the people who showed up for Alex in -20 windchill. You all are officially Minnesotans.

The arrests of Don Lemon, Georgia Fort, and Jamael Lundy are unacceptable and a clear violation of the Constitution. This is a dangerous abuse of power that threatens the rights of every single American. They must be released immediately.

i am really romantic about mutual aid, and seeing everyday folks spring into action over the last two months has made me so proud to be a minnesotan. simultaneously, the need is huge right now, especially with rent due february 1. this would be a good time to donate if you have the means.

Watching videos on how to protect myself from LRAD, the new sonic form of non lethal, yet extremely dangerous, way our government confronts people exercising their 1st amendment rights. #FUCKICE

"You raise your voice, I erase your voice." ICE in Minneapolis are erasing your rights. Please share our new video of what's happening in our city. youtu.be/W1dyNcRGRXY
