The Committee also heard a bill by @senronlatz.bsky.social that requires the Minnesota BCA to investigate cases involving the killing of Minnesota residents by federal agents operating in the state. The Senate DFL is committed to holding ICE accountable. Renee Good & Alex Pretti deserve justice.

The Attorney General’s office and the Minnesota ACLU are in the midst of several legal cases that challenge federal agents’ actions, requiring the evidence the public portals could help gather.

🚨Every single Republican on the House Education Policy Committee voted against legislation that would prevent ICE agents from storming into public schools without a warrant. Minnesota Republicans would rather stand with Donald Trump than with our state’s students, teachers, and families.

Less than 1% of residents in this small Minnesota city were born in another country. But for cooperating with ICE, Isle could get $100,000 for a new police car and $7,500 for equipment for each trained officer.

Other countries: congrats 😒 so happy for you 😡

I try not to be this person too much, but watching the House committee deadlock on multiple good bills today I cannot tell you how frustrating it is when I hear folks dismiss elections. A few hundred votes in 2-3 districts may be what decided whether Minnesotans get state rent and eviction relief.

A bill that would allow state-licensed nurses to practice in 43 other Nurse Licensure Compact member states failed on a party-line vote. Read more at Session Daily ⤵️ www.house.mn.gov/sessiondaily... #mnleg #mnhouse

jamie long working on a bill with bobby joe champion allowing minnesotans to sue for civil remedy and damages if feds violate their constitutional rights. other states have this, more passing now. first hearing tuesday next week

Last night, there was attempted arson at Renee Good’s memorial at 33rd and Portland with gasoline being poured on the fence, near the front yard of the house, and throughout the memorial. This is despicable. 1/

The Minnesota House is evenly split. One GOP vote is all that's needed to pass bills that protect us from federal invasion. It's also an election year. Voters calling their GOP representatives could make a world of difference. These people work for you, make them earn their checks this year.

Minnesota's legislative session is in progress. #MNleg creates statue and releases funding, which strengthens or breaks the state's capacity to respond to ICE and support our neighbors. Here's a thread listing bills to watch. Call your legislator if you've got an opinion. It's an election year.

Victims of shoddy care providers said they are now suffering from state’s crackdown on Integrated Community Supports, with some losing their access to housing as payments are withheld. minnesotareformer.com/2026/02/16/m...

Along these lines: if you live in Minneapolis, the Hennepin County Attorney we elect this fall is going to be the lawyer in charge of prosecuting ICE agents for the murders and atrocities they committed against us. That's why I'm supporting Cedrick Frazier.

Haven Watch is the group that meets people who are being released from Whipple (usually because they were illegally detained), often without coats or phones or any way to get home.

DFL legislators announced Monday 11 bills focused on aspects of how ICE and CBP operate within Minnesota. Read more at Session Daily ⤵️ www.house.mn.gov/SessionDaily... #mnleg

Federal agents convinced an 11-year-old boy to open the door at 7:30 a.m. and then detained this Hmong grandma for 2 weeks in Texas. She shared a cell with 20 women. What did she do wrong? She has no idea, but ICE has returned repeatedly. She's still in hiding. www.twincities.com/2026/02/15/h...

MN session starts on Tuesday. If you want to pay more attention but the process seems confusing and opaque, there's tips in this thread.

“We know that there are many more names that maybe we’re holding really close to our hearts, and maybe it was too hard to say their names, but we know that they’re with us,” said Nicole Matthews, longtime leader of the Minnesota Indian Women’s Sexual Assault Coalition.

Mental health support is crucial during a crisis. Operation Metro Surge has highlighted the impact of trauma, especially on children. The City’s Preliminary Impact Assessment outlines the long-term effects of the federal government’s invasion of Minneapolis.

On Tuesday, the Minneapolis City Council will be voting on a resolution calling on Governor Walz to take steps that would allow the Public Utilities Commission to enact an electric and gas shutoff moratorium. Let’s keep families safe! lims.minneapolismn.gov/Download/RCA...

this is really rich coming from angie craig i hope peggy flanagan defeats her so badly it ends her political career

Tom Homan: "I'm not going to sit here and say anybody did anything wrong and that, you know, they were, you know, unprofessional." Today at Homewood Suites in New Brighton, MN:

Can confirm, excellent restaurant.

Federal agents used chemical irritants, less-lethal munitions and physical force against observers and protesters during Operation Metro Surge.

CoreCivic’s revenue from contracts with Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) skyrocketed in 2025, but some participants on today’s quarterly earnings call expressed concerns that ICE had not detained as many immigrants as investors hoped. — @elizabethweill.bsky.social

SCOOP: ICE is asking Social Security for peoples' in-person appointment dates and times, and SSA staff are being told to give it to them. From me + @leahfeiger.bsky.social + @zoeschiffer.bsky.social @wired.com wired.com/story/social...

We’re still seeing ICE going in and out of the Whipple building. As long as they’re still here working to separate families, we need to make sure people are out patrolling & keeping watch. We don’t accept their behavior happening here or anywhere else which is why all of DHS needs to be dismantled

Yeah, I’m all for cool events in Minneapolis — we’re gonna need to be smart about reigniting economic activity — but we’ve already blown the ANNUAL police OT budget so the corporate community that turned turtle during the invasion better foot the bill. We need this to benefit real victims.

you know, it still seems like it should be an even bigger issue that the president has been sending armed forces to kidnap and assault people in an ethnic cleansing campaign, with a specific geographic focus on regions that didn't vote for him in the last election

This visualization of daily activity of ICE is unreal.

On Thanksgiving, the immigrant children held at the Dilley detention center gathered in the gym for what they thought was a holiday feast. The kids salivated over a spread of turkey, sandwiches, pastries and pies, a family told me. But the food wasn’t for detainees — it was for the staff.

On January 14, 2026, ICE shot Julio Cesar Sosa-Celis in North Minneapolis. Per usual, the federal government lied about this case. In a filing yesterday, prosecutors said that "newly discovered evidence"… 1/

Lying under oath is a crime. It's past time to hold ICE agents accountable. For both perjury and the countless other crimes they've committed in Minnesota. www.politico.com/news/2026/02...

We’re all trying to do something for our neighbors in need here in Minnesota. My wife and I want to raise money to get diapers to families who need them. Never run a GoFundMe before. Please help if you can. gofund.me/299cbf1ff

YO! Small business owners in Saint Paul, MN - some economic relief for the disruptions caused by the federal occupation is available to businesses in Saint Paul specifically. @mischieftoy.com @blackhartstp.com @bangbrewing.bsky.social www.minneapolisfoundation.org/stories/comm...

There’s a vote in DC tomorrow that would give DHS $11 billion more in funding. Schumer and Jeffries have already walked back any “demands” they had for DHS. I, for one, do not think this timing is just a coincidence. Turn down the temp for the vote. Turn it right back up when the bag is secured.

Yesterday in my neighborhood, it took at least a dozen feds to chase someone into a neighborhood resulting in a huge car crash that destroyed at least three vehicles. It was a shitshow of shambolic "law enforcement" that could easily have gotten many people killed. Abolish ICE. Abolish DHS.

Annnd there she goes, now that other people have done the real work and she thinks the crisis is over, running to the head of the parade

Prosecute everyone involved. Impeach those at the top. Convict.

Cannot believe how far the bar has been lowered but this somehow feels legitimately useful to hear out loud. Because what virtually every single Minnesotan is doing is simply recording, saying words, and possibly using a whistle. That is virtually ALL anyone is doing as the feds claim "escalation".

Homan proven a liar. Again. This happened after his press conference.
