Minnesota labor unions voiced their support for a statewide economic strike on Jan. 23. Organizers are asking all Minnesotans to not attend school or work and not to shop on Friday to protest the ICE surge in the state. Video: Eleanor Hildebrandt/The Minnesota Star Tribune.

“ICE operations are directly undermining more than a decade of progress in combating wage theft/tax fraud in MN’s construction industry…When workers are afraid to report violations, employers who cheat on wages & evade taxes gain a competitive advantage over law-abiding contractors.” bit.ly/4q06yhi

Victor Manuel Diaz should be alive. ICE OUT OF MINNESOTA. NOW.

Hello community! We are asking for more support for this fundraiser. Due to the extreme cold expected to linger in the Twin Cities for the next several days, we are seeing a huge need to help provide hot meals to unhoused people. Please help us continue to support our immigrant businesses!

‼️ SUNDAY, JANUARY 18 from 11 am - 12 pm ✊ 💌 Join Building a Fighting NALC (BFN) postal workers and community supporters at the Lake Street Post Office to demand: 1️⃣ ICE OUT OF MN! 2️⃣ ICE OFF POSTAL PROPERTY! 3️⃣ CHARGE RENEE GOOD’S MURDERER!

Our local union siblings, Minnesota’s hospitality union UNITE HERE Local 17 @uniteherelocal17.bsky.social, is raising funds for the over 100 members they’re supporting with essentials. The number is expected to grow as more and more workers are sheltering at home with their children in fear. #mpls

This is an important preliminary win for all Minnesotans exercising their constitutional right to peaceful protest and witness. Thanks and congratulations to the ACLU and the plaintiffs for standing strong for this bedrock principle.

Today we shared that our delegation, alongside the St. Paul Regional Labor Fed., W. Area Labor Council, NE Area Labor Council and E Central ALC delegations, have joined in solidarity to endorse the unified statewide action on 1.23 - DAY OF TRUTH & FREEDOM ✊ Full release: minneapolisunions.org/press

Last Friday, Jan 9, ICE detained a member of the Minnesota Newspaper and Communications Guild. Since then, he’s been transferred to a detention facility in Texas, where he awaits action on his petition for habeas corpus. 🗣️ ICE is not making us safe. PRESS RELEASE 👉 newsguild.org/guild-member...

Nothing to say? Big Minnesota companies keep quiet as Trump’s immigration crackdown squeezes the state minnesotareformer.com/2026/01/16/b...

Working is not a crime. Please support if you’re able 👇

We were out yesterday morning with ATU Local 1005 (transit union) raising the alarm. A Metro Transit operator was illegally detained and it took over a month for him to get back to his family. Another driver recalled his bus being blocked in, witnessing abductions and feeling fear at the brutality.

I want to let you all know something important that I hope motivates you to keep showing up. I get daily calls from neighbors who speak Spanish who want me to let you all know they are grateful for those looking out and patrolling. Our community is thankful. Minneapolis is full of heroes.

Eyewitness estimates say approximately 400-500 students took part in Century High School's walkout. Overall, the school is home to roughly 1,500 students.

Unions and community orgs are calling for a Minnesota-wide shutdown in 10 days to protest the ferocious assault by federal immigration agents. They're saying on Jan 23, no work, no school, no shopping. SEIU Local 26, UNITE HERE Local 17, & others are supporting, w/ more to join. By me, Amie Stager

ICE used pepper spray on students at a school in Minneapolis last week. We need ICE out of schools. Send a letter to Congress right now. actionnetwork.org/letters/tell...

🚨🌳 This week, Mpls Park & Rec Board passed a resolution making it clear that public parks follow the City’s Executive Order prohibiting use of city parking lots from being used for staging civil immigration enforcement activities. 📰 News coverage: www.startribune.com/minneapolis-...

👇 Take note and pass it on, neighbors!

🚨MINNESOTANS WERE ABDUCTED HERE🚨 banner at @mspairport.bsky.social as union members, faith leaders & community remember Renee Good & call for #IceOutofMN. Watch full press conference: bit.ly/4sNTjTs

The Trump admin’s reckless ICE operations are trampling on working people’s fundamental rights and freedoms. We demand that ICE stop these dangerous operations and leave our communities and workplaces before even more innocent people are hurt or killed. https://bit.ly/4sFzgGL

Minnesota unions, worker centers & organizations have signed on to a letter calling on @GovTimWalz to declare a state of emergency & eviction moratorium throughout the “occupation by ICE, HSI, Customs & Border Patrol, and other federal agencies.” docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...

We just chased off ICE from taking 2 young men by our public housing high rise and then immediately ran off another convoy from the target at the Quarry. Activity is very high today, we need people out patrolling and protecting their neighbors defend612.com

In the days leading up to her death, Donald Trump and Minnesota Republican leaders amplified false and inflammatory claims about Minnesotans that were later used to justify a dangerous and unprecedented federal enforcement surge. In the aftermath, that disinformation has continued.

Our community partners @kcoumn.bsky.social — “Over 20K children in Minnesota rely on the Child Care Assistance Program. When childcare collapses, parents cannot work. Hospitals lose staff. Businesses shut down. Entire sectors grind to a halt. This is how you manufacture chaos, not public trust.” 💯

Keep the pressure on, 5:30pm at Lake and Chicago today.

‼️ Yesterday, a @liunamnnd.bsky.social union sibling and an active asylum seeker from Nicaragua was detained by ICE after attending a required procedural hearing at Ft Snelling Immigration Court.

Yesterday, after killing Renee Good, armed federal agents went to a high school and tackled people, handcuffed workers, and teargassed bystanders. Schools are now closed district-wide because ICE and border patrol have created such a dangerous environment

ICE unlawfully detained one of our members and used pepper spray on high school students shortly after shooting and killing a Minneapolis woman yesterday. We demand they stay away from our schools. Immediately.

In Minneapolis, we take care of our neighbors. 💔 If you’re able to chip in support for Renee Nicole Good’s wife and child, visit www.bit.ly/reneempls Check on your friends, family and neighbors. Call/text 988 or chat at 988lifeline.org for yourself or a loved one who may need mental health support.

Say her name: Renee Good. ICE out of Minneapolis and Minnesota now.

‼️ CALL TO ACTION — Text ICE OUT to 30319 to join a nonviolent emergency protest Thursday, January 8. ICE has been terrorizing our immigrant neighbors, and has now horrifyingly murdered a community member in cold blood. We stand together in demanding an end to ICE and its campaign of violence.

Childcare providers, teachers, kids, and families deserve to live without fear. What is happening is absolutely, unequivocally unacceptable, and dangerous.

Show up to show ICE just how much we despise them and want them OUT OF MN! Thursday morning, 7am Whipple Federal Building.

Today, we lost a neighbor to state violence. She was exercising her right to bear witness to the terror ICE is inflicting on our neighbors. She should still alive. ✊ We join Minnesota AFL-CIO’s call for justice. We join our community’s repeated demands for an end to ICE’s hateful campaign. #mpls

Thank you to everyone who took action for educators, students and public education ✊ #WhenWeFightWeWin

Today, we can proudly say that Minnesota is once again one of the best states for working people, and Governor Walz’s work is a major reason why. aflcio.mn/49oJUZo

Anoka-Hennepin educators have spoken! More than 98% of members voted to authorize a strike if necessary. No one wants to strike. This vote is about making sure the district takes seriously the need to reach a fair contract that supports educators, stabilizes schools & puts students first!

Nearly 10K MN's braved frigid weather to support our immigrant neighbors—because we care for our us and show up for each other. We supported small biz on Lake marching in solidarity—Black, white, Native, and newcomer. Hate has no place in MN! We are #GreaterThanFear. #ICEOutOfMN @seiu.org

See you on the strike line in solidarity! 👇☕️ #NoContractNOcoffee

We’re with the workers. ✊ This is unacceptable! #ICEOutOfMN

After months of negotiations and 170+ days working without a contract, Anoka Hennepin Education Minnesota (AHEM) union members are voting on whether to authorize a strike. ✊ AHEM educators are voting from December 17 to 20 throughout the district and results will be announced by AHEM on December 20.
