Waseem asked me to post this picture of his son Tim today, who had his 3rd birthday recently. The majority of this little boy's life has been taken up with fleeing from bombs, enduring life in a tent. But I'm struck by how happy he looks in spite of it all. @mommunism.bsky.social gofund.me/35fdca7d

The wife and attorney of a man detained in Rochester last week say he finally has access to life-saving medication following a kidney transplant. However, they added that federal authorities are still not giving him the correct dosage or the full regimen.

Javier Abreu-Vasquez had a kidney transplant in 2023. He was grabbed by ICE while delivering groceries to help his neighbours. They’re refusing to give him his anti rejection meds. Without them, he will lose the organ. This is how people die.

ICE officials, under a judge’s order to clean up overcrowded and squalid conditions inside holding cells at 26 Federal Plaza detained migrants on a separate floor where they decided the the ruling didn't apply. The revelation comes in a hearing today: www.thecity.nyc/2026/02/09/2...

Walking up to an open restaurant and pulling on the door before realizing it’s locked and you need to wait for someone to let you in. Pretty common experience the last 2 months around the metro. Minneapolis, February 2026

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.

Our first job as journalists is to get the facts right, something the Pulitzer Prize-winning Mississippi Today failed to do when "reporting" brochures were removed from the Medgar & Myrlie Evers Home National Monument that called his murderer a “racist.” That myth soon spread.

Y'ALL it's been ONE YEAR since #TeslaTakedown started. THIS SATURDAY #FEB14, make time for a protest near you. Tell #ElonMusk & fashy friends that we won't forget the brazen corruption and myriad crimes. If you're in the #Baltimore #Maryland area, check out @teslatakedownbmore.bsky.social #3E

"Some residents in Northfield haven’t left their homes or apartments in a month because of fear of ICE. Volunteers help provide many of them with food and help get their children to school safely...“It’s just a complete and utter disruption of life,” Washburn said." www.mprnews.org/story/2026/0...

I found some more. My grandfather and I were on the roof checking something when I snapped one of these pics. You could watch local youth baseball games from the porch on Saturday nights.

We're still keeping tabs on the kidney recipient arrested in Rochester. His wife tells reporter @mollycastlework.bsky.social he still hasn't received meds needed to keep his body from rejecting the kidney. Story's in our Monday @mprnews.org liveblog on ICE crackdown. www.mprnews.org/live-updates

I arrived too late to an abduction yesterday. Ice vehicles boxed in a food delivery driver on the highway. They took him, and when I came on the scene (with a few other neighbors in cars), his keys were still in it. We found his phone, a debit card, his car title and registration.

When Texas lawmakers tried to visit 33-year-old “political prisoner” Leqaa Kordia at an ICE facility, she’d already lost 50 pounds and was running a high fever. By Friday, she was hospitalized. But her family still has not been able to locate her. thebarbedwire.com/2026/02/09/l...

The number of ice sightings and ops seem to be going down in many of the city neighborhoods & up significantly in the 1st ring burbs. I think in general they’re finding it harder & harder to get any success so they’re just taking it out on observers

In one 30-minute stretch, three legal observers were arrested — as Trump’s Border czar Tom Homan calls on locals to “end the resistance.”

Good morning. Happy Monday. Minneapolis is still under federal occupation and thousands of my neighbors are still afraid of leaving their homes. Nothing has changed. www.cnn.com/2026/02/08/u...

for my latest @us.theguardian.com talked to teens leading and joining anti-ICE walkouts from TX to MD to WI. one NYC teen: "I feel scared [of ICE] every day... But I’m not going to let that stop me, because bravery is just the positive way to say you’re scared, and I’d rather be brave than scared."

9-year-old Maria Antonia Guerra from Colombia was detained on her way to Disney World. She told me when I met her that what was supposed to be a 10-day dream vacation to the park’s Halloween celebration turned into a 100+ day nightmare at Dilley. 6/

NEW: ProPublica went inside the detention center for immigrant families in Dilley, Texas. Children held there told us about the anguish of being ripped from their lives in the United States and the fear of what comes next.

This is what we’re doing to people. We are the bad guys.

Researchers estimate that the life expectancy for people forced to work in cane fields was mid 20s. They were slaughterhouses. Being sent to one was functionally a death sentence.

Concentration camps: "I saw people lying in feces, throwing up, and sleeping in urine."

Hey, remember when Avelo contracted w/ ICE to fly kidnapped ppl away from their homes & then a bunch of us were like I THINK THE FUCK NOT & Avelo was like, ah fuck, this is not worth it, and cancelled the contract? Their last ICE Air flight just landed. But know this: my saints do not forgive.

ICE is kidnapping soccer moms.

Bad Bunny’s Super Bowl halftime show will be interpreted by Celimar Rivera Cosme into Puerto Rican Sign Language, a unique dialect used on the island that academic researchers and other experts consider endangered.

Here’s the situation in the Twin Cities: Random Bovino-style tear-gassing: Way down Relentless persecution of immigrants: Unchanged Thuggish violence against observers: Way up

They call it “persistent presence” and it’s a technique of war they have used in other parts of the world, notoriously in Somalia, which gives a new dimension to the cruelty of doing this to cities full of Somali refugees In some cases they’re literally using the same Black Hawks even

Sheriff Witt is up for re-election this year. I think we should make it clear she will not be re-elected.

The top lawyer for Immigration and Customs Enforcement in Minnesota has left the agency, the same week an ICE attorney was removed after telling a district judge that “this job sucks” and that the Trump administration is “overwhelmed” with immigration cases.

Tomorrow! 🇺🇦🏒🇺🇸

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

NEW: Leqaa Kordia — who’s been in ICE detention for nearly a year, since ICE took her the same week as Mahmoud Khalil — has been hospitalized after having a seizure. Her whereabouts & health are now unknown. The Trump admin alleges she supports Hamas because…she sent money to help family in Gaza.

Renee Good's widow shared this statement with us today. It's absolutely heart-wrenching. 💔

At a child’s birthday party and somehow I ended up giving advice on how to deal with bear mace. (not really bear mace, it’s what we call MPD’s special extra strength formula)

About 40 people arrested quite brutally. Here they are being lined up. Tackled to the ground multiple people injured. I’ll have a story with many photos and video at Visunews.substack.com

The Tesla Dealership in Arlington, VA won't shovel their sidewalk after a storm. Going on two weeks now… So a few spirited neighbors decided to leave some artwork on the snow. The windchill today was -2. This is how it's done!! 💪
