They are a lawless force that assassinates people without consequences. We cannot let this go unremarked because the attempted target was an immigrant!

It is sad when the vice-president of the United States sees his job as spreading Kremlin propaganda.

A judge has ordered charges dismissed against an anti-ICE protester who was arrested Sunday outside a St. Paul church.

During the active Operation Metro Surge, federal agents arrested an average of about 33 people a day. About 30 of those arrested were age 16 and under. One of the arrests involved a child who was just two or three years old. A handful were over 70 years old. (4)

Outrageous. Stripping Liam Conejo Ramos and his family of asylum is beyond cruel and indefensible. This decision must be overturned. Shame.

In Minnesota, we’ve seen the federal government at its worst -- and showed the world how to fight back. Now, I'm honored that the flagship No Kings protest will be held here in the Twin Cities. Together, we'll show Donald Trump that we don't do kings.

Bravo to our client Tori Andres! Represented by our MN Disability Law Center, she challenged Lyft on grounds of discrimination. Her courage means Lyft and other rideshare companies are on notice, backed by MDHR, to ensure those with service animals won't be denied access. https://bit.ly/3P2qOly

Thanks for sharing these—I really like the idea of a conversation starter/solidarity signal. I wonder if you’ve talked about the ways this messaging might land with Indigenous people and with descendants of enslaved people. Just something to think about so you can use these with intentionality.

Hundreds of Minnesota attorneys volunteered to help challenge immigration detentions in federal court during a surge of arrests, forming a rapid pro bono legal network across the state.

We saw an uptick in ICE activity today. ICE continues to be spotted around the metro area - dining, driving, and hiding in between events. Current vehicles on the short list include Black Chevrolet Tahoes, White or Silver Jeep Wagoneers, and White Ford Transit vans with fake branding.

This is known as the riddle of the trash barricades: We've established MPD is never going to intervene in cases of reckless, dangerous behavior/driving by federal agents. So why send cops to disassemble barricades erected to address a problem that police won't?

Call it Minnesotans Unarmed Civil Defense, not unrest.

Here what to call it - not "unrest", it is Minnesota's Unarmed Civil Defense.

St Paul: Police Dept has set up a light & camera surveillance pole on Summit Av by Cities Church, pastoral home of local CBP/ICE leader & site of debate that has resulted in arrests of many people by DOJ. I am told this is at SPPD discretion. Cities got the full weight of feds on their side.

whenever people start swooning over a progressive "outsider" whose complete lack of previous political experience is what makes them special, i remind them that paul wellstone spent 20 years in DFL and local community activism and running for state-level seats before running for U.S. senate.
