Photo of anti-ICE rally and march in downtown Mpls in frigid weather. Haven’t heard crowd size estimates yet. www.mprnews.org for live updates.

On a downtown street in Minneapolis, as people stream out from the massive march, Mary Tyler Moore says “fuck ice.”

'A sea of people': Thousands turn out for anti-ICE march in downtown Minneapolis

I just want people who are seeing the crowd pics to know, every single piece of Mpls infrastructure was strained to the limit today to get people there. I’m able bodied and prepared, was outside for 2 hours and still never made it bc our trains downtown were never meant to be packed like they were.

Renee Nicole Good was killed for going out in the streets to protect her community. Thousands more people in Minneapolis are going out in the streets to protect their community.

Since I know our mayor was sincere about wanting Minneapolis’ “swagger back.”

This is one of the most insane protests I've ever been to. Tens of thousands of Minnesotans in -20°F (-28°C) cold with absolutely manic energy. We are going to throw these goddamn bastards out of our cities.

The funniest shit is that I feel like the huge turnout downtown is almost because of the cold not in spite of it. The fact that it’s -10 degrees out led to just more defiance, like thousands out there saying, it isn’t even that bad out.

transit and general strike and community organizing minnesota, i love you

Many, many thousands of people gathered in The Commons in downtown Minneapolis to march against ICE right now.

It’s -9 degrees. Downtown Minneapolis is packed for the anti-ICE rally and the crowd keeps growing

Where's all our Libertarian 'homies' at?! There are literal jack-booted govt thugs roaming our cities accosting, beating, and detaining US citizens! Y'all just not worried in Idaho yet?

Hi, this is what I've been working on this week.

Yesterday, I drove refugees that had been shipped off to Texas all the way back home to St. Paul Seeing them reunite with their families reminded me this is their home. So keep sending them to Texas. I’ll keep driving ‘em back and introducing them to Bucc-ee’s and KC barbecue along the way.

ICE just detained a 5-year-old child. Don’t tell us this is about “the worst of the worst.” That’s a lie. Absolutely vile.

Thinking about the 5-year-old Columbia Heights boys abducted by ICE this week and the outrage generated by this image 25 years ago, especially among Republicans.

Folks, we'd like to express our profound gratitude to our lawyer, @thatbaba.bsky.social. They stepped forward immediately with an offer to help with our ICE audit. We simply couldn't have responded within the 3 day deadline without them. Thank you, Davis! 💖

ICE has detained children as young as five, including this little boy, Liam. No 5-year-old makes us unsafe. Targeting children - our babies - is beyond the pale. ICE is completely out of control and beyond fixing.

we need to know who this muthah truckah is he will be held accountable

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.

THE PEOPLE'S MODEL RAILROAD MUSEUM IS ON STRIKE TOO

oh man, the Walker Art Center is going to be closed on Friday (If you're not from the Twin Cities, this is like MoMA closing in support of a general strike—a very big deal)

You know what law was intended to prevent state legal regimes from racially profiling families and abducting children who might be caught without a parent? The Civil Rights Act of 1866. You know, the law to dismantle the Black Codes.

They are targeting children because they are trying incite violence. I have talked to many journalists today, and they all made the same observation: Border Patrol and ICE have been rolling around with maximum aggression, lingering for ages as crowds, gather, seemingly trying to cause a riot.

This is a photo of someone being tortured, not someone being restrained

Every Stephen Miller tantrum and DHS recruitment ad speaks in these existential terms about "defending your culture" to elide the fact that they need people with the courage to wear a mask while interrogating a sixth grader

hey, y'all. my name is madi and i'm a reporter for the minnesota reformer. i cover the trump administration's impact on minnesotans, which means i've been out on the streets covering ICE in the twin cities. let me walk you through how we got here:

I have been told that this undercover ICE agent tried to get observers to scan a QR code “for his website”. The QR code did not resolve to a link. DO NOT SCAN UNKNOWN QR CODES FROM STRANGERS. This is a massive security risk! Bad things can happen to you if you do it! Stay frosty, friends.

ICE just abducted a man in his car here in Southwest Blaine, after he’d just dropped off his child at Westwood Intermediate & Middle School. Fellow North Metro folks, please be safe and alert.

Life in Minnesota is terrifying right now, but every day I feel amazed by watching us wake up and go fuck with these absolute losers. Minnesota is going to annoy the regime to death and upon the graves of the fascists we'll erect a statue to Barb the librarian who ran dispatch.

Every day some story breaks me some. Today it’s the guy who approached parents at a school patrol, told them he was with Indivisible, and asked about how the patrol system works. The parents gave vague answers, followed him back to his car — and of course it was ICE.

In which I explain that the Third Amendment—the one nobody ever talks about—allows hotels to refuse to house Kristi Noem’s ICE goons.

Dear neighbor, We are seeing an increase in immigration enforcement and federal agents across South Minneapolis. This includes the sighting of Bovino at 34th and Cedar. There’s definitely an uptick compared to the last few days. 1/

Small thread. I was driving up to @makwacoffee.bsky.social bc I knew Roseville (a suburb next to St Paul) was lousy w/ ICE. 1/2 mile away I drive past an ICE agent, so I flip around (following every traffic law) & enter a lot where there were 5-6 ICE vehicles & probably 8 observer cars.

Saint Paul Public Schools, one of the biggest school districts in the state, is closed for the next two days because teachers need time to build hybrid learning because unaccountable masked, armed federal government goons have made it too difficult for nonwhite children to leave their homes.

Minneapolis observers: our signal channels are not secret, unvetted, or unmonitored. Please assume the feds (and police) are on all of them. What you are doing is incredibly courageous but not risk-free and they likely know who most or all of us are. Strength in numbers, not anonymity.

fantastic piece from my colleague @polgreen.bsky.social that gets at something i have been thinking about. what, exactly, is the administration's strategic goal in minnesota? what does "victory" look like for trump and miller?

This is what happened in our neighborhood yesterday. ICE snatched a human being off of our streets, roughed them up badly, and then pepper sprayed legal observers as they documented it all. This is a daily occurrence happening all throughout Minnesota right now.

THIS is leadership. I need people to understand that it may seem dumb but every org that goes out of their way to do these things needs your vocal support. Thanks @mnaurorafc.bsky.social

ICE agents at a hotel in St. Paul woke up this morning to news that they’re getting kicked out of their hotel today at noon.

Minnesotans leveraging water balloons and ice against ICE like they’re Nordic skiers taking out Nazi munitions plants

Targeted economic harassment. See OP 🧵 for ways to help, but as a local grandpa I say, let’s go buy a toy there!

I've seen some wet turds in my day, but this, this is something.
