Another person shot by ICE in Minneapolis!

MINNEAPOLIS — “The real criminals is ICE… Another person shot because of their skin color. Even if we’re citizens, they don’t care. Because they’re fucking racists.”

A witness talks to @statuscoupnews.bsky.social after another person was shot, they say with a pregnant woman in the house.

Near Lyndale and 24th Ave in Minneapolis tonight, feds have reportedly shot another person.

Preliminary info is shaky for now, hearing two people injured.

BORTAC just rolled up in an armored vehicle. A crowd is gathering outside the police tape—MPD presence as well.

There is nothing illegal - and certainly nothing wrong - with monitoring or protesting ICE.

Nothing. That should be the end of the conversation and not this "did she" or "didn't she" BS.

Yes, immigration agents not only took Arnoldo's phone, the 10th grader had to use Find My Phone to locate it — in a vending machine for used electronics, close to an ICE detention center.

Read the full story here:

"Arnoldo had filmed much of the incident, but agents had taken his phone. He used Find My to locate the phone — at a vending machine for used electronics miles away, close to an ICE detention center. The footage, which ProPublica has reviewed, backed the family’s account of the chase."

That's what is wrong with patriotism. Why would your love stop at a border created by a state that doesn't, ultimately, give a sh*t about you (or those outside of its territorial borders)?

Today at 34 & Park in Minneapolis, a woman tried to drive down the street where a protest had broken out in front of a home ICE was raiding, saying she had a doctor apt to get to. ICE agents busted out her windows, cut off her seatbelt, and pulled her out before arresting her.

Yes! Immigration is a federal purview and a ban on Secret Police must be enacted at a federal level to be effective.

LFG! Write your Reps and Senators!

Congress should pass a law requiring agents to show their faces, identify themselves, & wear their badges. It’s not agent safety we have to worry about these days.

End so-called Kavanaugh stops & admin warrant-based forced entry into homes too. Let’s have a Constitution.
