In South Minneapolis, Minnesota, nearly two dozen neighbors confronted and surrounded ICE goons after rapid-response alerts were issued. The goons were questioning an East African man when the situation escalated, and they eventually left the area without making any arrests.

Have looked forward to bedtime so I could get back to Patti Smith’s rich and beautiful new “Bread of Angels.” Was sad to see it end, but noticed Charlotte Bronte’s “Villette” in my bookcase which Patti calls one of her favorites and realized I never read it! #anticipation #booksky #pattismith

My constituent, Wilmer, was mauled by an ICE attack dog despite the fact that, as he has consistently explained, he was not resisting arrest or trying to flee—his wife and young children, all U.S. citizens, were forced to watch helplessly as Wilmer was violently attacked and dragged away.
