So you let him give that answer but didn't call him out on that answer. What proof do you have that people are paid? Why do you call them agitators? Because no one is paid, "agitators: are actually legal observers under the constitution, and people blowing whistles are NOT agitators! #TheOccupation
KNOTT: Why is it that there is so much tension in Minneapolis/St Paul right now?
SCOTT: Because paid agitators are actively trying to stop law enforcement action. Without that, you wouldn't even have any idea most of these arrests were taking place

ICE is still heavy in Minneapolis but it's being suppressed on social media.
Posted 4 days ago. I'll add more as I find them.

AT LEAST 96...and counting...#TheOccupation #Minneapolis
ICE has violated 96 court orders just in Minneapolis alone. They will not stop terrorizing and killing us until someone physically stops them. Now it seems they’re moving onto smaller, rural areas where there’s less people to fight back.

It is deeply distressing that Democrats open negotiations with "ICE should follow the constitution" the GOP is like "lol nah" and that's the story.
I see people defending Democrats sometimes like "what are they supposed to do?" Our constitutional republic is falling. Act like it, for starters.

Am teaching a 2cr course on birds for the first time. Today was the first day in Minneapolis we could go out birding (but windy). We walked to the Mississippi River Gorge and saw: American robins, house sparrows, a juvenile bald eagle & adult Bald Eagle right overhead. Also, heard a blue jay. #birds

Living in Minnesota right now feels like being in the emergency room. Literally everyone is suffering in different ways, even if it's "just" a badly twisted ankle rather than a kidney stone or a full-on heart attack. The staff are working as hard as they can but energy and resources are dwindling.

I'd rather sticking to facts rather than this religious stuff frankly. Like "Why does ICE consistently break the law?" Entering homes without a Judicial warrant, breaking car windows & taking people out of them without a warrant, kidnapping legal observers, citizens with no crimes?
McIVER: Do you consider yourself a religious man?
LYONS: Yes mam
McIVER: How do you think judgment day will work for you with so much blood on your hands?

In emails and memorandums viewed by WIRED, DHS asked GSA explicitly to disregard usual government lease procurement procedures, and even hide lease listings due to “national security concerns,” in an effort to support ICE’s immigration enforcement activities across the US.
