I am in love with @jchavezmpls.bsky.social and he’s not even my council member.

Council member Chavez has a great letter. We don’t know what this next phase will look like or means, and we need to keep showing up for each other

A really good statement about today. It affirms every caveat about how Homan can't be believed, how vigilance must be maintained, and how the work continues... while also having the tone of a movement that is winning. The appearance of victory can be demobilizing; this is a call to keep showing up.

I am proud of you and our immigrant residents. Your resiliency, strength, and dedication have led to the announcement that “Operation Metro Surge” will end soon. 1/

I don’t really know what I expect in posting this, but maybe some people see it and can learn from it. I’ll call it “lessons from an unwilling immigration attorney.” 1/

North Minneapolis is resilient. They have been rallying together to support one another in a completely grassroots and community-led effort to keep one another safe. They asked me to share this hoping to prevent the displacement of more families in North Minneapolis. gofund.me/ca75a5b42

At the end of the day no amount of theory or posturing changes the reality that our economy is on the brink. Tough decisions will be made at the capital this year. I’m praying we do enough and get enough passed even with the slim majority.

Our small businesses are on the brink of collapse. Doors are closed, commercial eviction notices are being handed out, and the cultural vitality of our community is at stake. 1/ kstp.com/kstp-news/to...

I’m so proud of our community who are still out here supporting our neighbors. Let me be very clear, when this operation ends, it will be because of the resiliency of our immigrant community, who has shown the world what it looks like to be resilient, and our neighbors who will never give up. 1/

Over in st paul, but seeing what @jchavezmpls.bsky.social is doing in minneapolis brings me so much joy. A role model to us all now and forever

✨This is a @jchavezmpls.bsky.social appreciation post. ✨ It’s a real privilege to watch real leadership from you and your office under an immensely stressful time for your constituents and your city while you and your relatives are being directly impacted. You show us how it’s meant to be done.

Jason is one of our illustrious city council members—many hands can make this happen.

CM Chavez continues to show incredible leadership and care for community & constituents. let's make this happen

He‘s my city council member and I approve this message.

Jason is the absolute GOAT and he goes above and beyond for Minneapolis every day. Love ya, @jchavezmpls.bsky.social!

I want folks to know he's been doing this shit for years When I had a transphobic incident at a local business years ago and nothing was being done about it, he personally stepped in to have a conversation with the organization in question and helped. He talked to me on the phone to check in.

The more I learn about the work Jason Chavez is doing on the ground, the more impressed I am.

“The Hennepin County Sheriff’s Office said it was not involved in Thursday’s arrests, nor in a similar incident at the building last week.” Sheriffs were literally on scene pushing people out of the way to let these goons rush this kid outside. Just own your decision to collaborate.

Look at my city council member fundraising for mutual aid!!! He is setting an example for everyone else in office. Your representatives should be doing this too. Call them and demand better! Say "Jason Chavez is doing this for Minneapolis; why aren't you doing this for your constituents?"

Jason is so incredible. YALL are incredible

I don’t say this too often about elected officials, but I fucking love Jason Chavez! His leadership is inspiring to so many, including those of us who live in the suburbs. We need more people like Jason! ❤️

If you thought MPD overspending their 2025 overtime budget by 50% was bad, get a load of 2026: "We have spent all of our overtime budgeted for police and fire this year in the first 3 weeks of January." www.youtube.com/watch?v=E6Lg...

Just a shoutout to @jchavezmpls.bsky.social for just having outstanding constituent services and pounding the pavement to get folks' rent paid. He's one of the leaders who has really impressed me over the course of this occupation.

WE NEED YOUR HELP❗️It’s February 10, 2026, & rent is past due. I’m working with 7 different families who have been impacted by ICE & are now struggling to pay rent. I’m hoping to raise $6,082 to help pay the month of February rent for all of them. Cash app: $jasonchavezcruz Venmo: @ LiamDavisTemple

An 18 year old was taken today in the Hennepin County Government Center. Any leader thinking collaborating with ICE will be good and help end this surge is forgetting that no one in our community is expendable.

No one ever makes these posts when it’s MPD $20 million over budget. Check your priorities please.

Jason. You the best! Thanks for offering up help today, and amazing to run into “in the wild” after we stopped at Cricket to restart my guys cell as it was described during his month detention. Thank you and other gal there for chatting w him. Starts new job tomorrow and looking positive from here!

I've advised small businesses here for over 2 decades, and worked directly with the City for at least half of that on programs to assist them. The progressives of council are the ONLY ones who are ever pushing for actual funding and programming to help those businesses. Thank you CM Chavez et al!

Jason you are doing a great job. Thank you 👏🏻👏🏻

I've said this before and I'll say it again. The vote I cast for @jchavezmpls.bsky.social is the best vote I've ever cast. I don't think I've ever *enthusiastically* voted for a politician, but I did for him. Thank you for representing us the way we deserve. ❤️

Every time my city council member posts literally anything, I want to scream at higher up politicians- "HE'S ACTUALLY DOING SOMETHING!! WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!?!" He's on the ground every day keeping his ward safe. All other politicians should be taking notes. The bar is extremely high now. Do better.

I’m excited to announce that my colleagues and I are proposing a $5 million program meant to support small businesses impacted by “Operation Metro Surge” in Minneapolis. 1/

Thank you to everyone who has contributed to the Powderhorn Rent Fund. Unfortunately, Governor Walz has refused to enact an eviction moratorium, so we need the help of our community. gofund.me/335f2d840

"The Whipple Building needs to be shut down. No human should ever be treated with this much inhumanity."

While federal agents continue to break the law, we will be using the court system to help reunite families. I’m proud to have led this effort with my council colleagues, which funds $1,000,000 in legal assistance for 2026 in Minneapolis. 1/ kstp.com/kstp-news/to...

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/

WE’RE GOING TO WIN ❤️‍🔥

Nobody's doing more of the work than Jason Chavez. He's been there on the front lines every day, unlike our "strong" mayor

We aren’t resting until ICE is out of MN. We aren’t stopping until ICE is completely abolished. They want us to bend the knee so they can continue separating families, but we won’t be doing that. We’re going to win, and it’s bc of the resiliency of our neighbors. www.mprnews.org/episode/2026...

Federal agents at Minneapolis City Hall. They are illegally blocking bike lanes and parked on police parking.

I’m excited to invite you to the official re-launch of my campaign for the Minnesota State Senate! Before the legislative session begins, I want to gather with our community, celebrate our progress, and ground ourselves in the work ahead.

Lady’s husband was kidnapped during an immigration check-in and has now left a 1-year-old and 5-year-old without a father. Donations will help with lawyer fees, rent, and necessities for the family that is struggling to stay afloat during these hard times. gofund.me/d33bfc9c3

ICE was busy this weekend. It’s not the time to let your guard down. There were multiple kidnappings in South Minneapolis yesterday, including in Powderhorn and Central. This morning, there was a kidnapping on East Lake Street. 1/

Alex Paucar and Kimberly Tocte, were kidnapped by ICE while going to their immigration check in. This family needs help with lawyer fees, bond requests, and support to stay afloat and be reunited. Alex is being held in Texas now and Kimberly is in Minnesota being monitored. gofund.me/14aaa00e9

Same. I get that it's technically illegal, but the city enterprise (Frey) has offered *zero* solutions at best, and at worst, harassed ICE protestors. I'll stop supporting the blockades when the city comes up with a better idea of how to protect our neighbors.

Steven “Galo” (18) and Marvin “Montana” (15), two teenagers, need the help of our community. Yesterday, masked agents intercepted them and then these teenagers sustained injuries. I just spoke to the family, and they need help with medical and legal expenses. gofund.me/031c7da46

So Whipple roads get to be as blocked off as the Feds and HennCo sheriff want to protect evil, but Frey/MPD say neighbors don’t get to do partial blocks of roads at all to prevent evil. Cool.

We’re not in the clear. It’s still important to be cautious, careful, and vigilant. ICE vehicles were spotted across Minneapolis today. Two Latino neighbors were kidnapped by ICE on East Lake Street outside a laundromat. 1/

ICE is very active right now including indiscriminately stopping people on 37th & Central. There’s also ICE vehicles active in Holland, Como, and St Anthony East neighborhoods all at the same time as of 12 PM here on Saturday. Spend your weekend outside and help protect your neighbors.
