ICE isn’t just targeting the Twin Cities. There’s horror stories in Mankato, Willmar and across Minnesota. Immigration attorneys are still getting hundreds of calls every day from every corner of the state.

ICE out now.

Are you flipping kidding me? Noem is bribing Chair of the Appropriations Committee? Have already given Maine a preview of violent., lawless assault will bring upon her state. So, beleaguered Noem gives 'pause' to Collins and so Colins will betray the rest of the nation (and her own constituents)?
Sen. Susan Collins says DHS Secretary Kristi Noem informed her that ICE has ended its enhanced enforcement activities in Maine. Collins added, "There are currently no ongoing or planned large-scale ICE operations here."

NO DHS BILL. Strip ICE #$S. Dems must stop this. No faux GOP shutdown. Strip DHS bill; pass other 4. Dems in Senate must stick together and stop this assault on our nation. @chrismurphyct.bsky.social @schumer.senate.gov
Important. There has not been a deescalation.

NO ICE FUNDING. Break out DHS bill; strip ICE funding. Pass other 4. No faux GOP shutdown. VOTE NO to DHS Bill - stop lawless ICE! @amyklobuchar.com @smith.senate.gov @schumer.senate.gov
Chief Judge Patrick Schiltz, the top federal judge in Minneapolis, rips into ICE:

"ICE is not a law unto itself."

"ICE has likely violated more court orders in January 2026 than some federal agencies have violated in their entire existence."

Way to go, Philadelphia! The city has introduced new legislation putting real limits on ICE activity. Federal agents will no longer be allowed to operate anonymously no masks, visible identification required, and arrests must be backed by warrants signed by a federal judge.

the reason DHS officers wear masks is because it allows them to commit crimes with impunity. there is literally no legitimate reason for it.

Minnesotans, we’ve been through a lot.

And I believe this moment calls for grit, resilience, and faith in each other.

I believe we must stand up for what’s right. And fix what’s wrong.

Today, I’m announcing my candidacy for Governor. youtu.be/SiV3xVkX-kg

Liam is in ICE custody and his health is deteriorating.

Joaquin Castro says Liam is depressed, lethargic, sleeping excessively and barely eating, repeatedly asking about his mom, and when he can go home. He’s withdrawn and not the bright preschooler he was just days ago.

LIAM NEEDS A DOCTOR

Trade policy as middle school cafeteria politics: You can shake kids for quarters… until they decide you don’t get a seat at their table. Then the “tough guy” is just eating alone with mystery meat.

Minnesota has been the center of America’s heartbreak—but we are also the center of America’s courage and hope.

Ordinary people have done extraordinary things: they have stood up, marched, brought food to their neighbors, and they have not blinked.

I am so proud of our state.

Swalwell: "The masks has to come off. These guys, the don't just wear these masks for their own anonymity. They wear it for moral cover. They hide their identities from us and their humanity from themselves. So their masks have to come off. Period."

Thank you Rep @kellymorrisonmn.bsky.social - this lawlessness MUST STOP. Congress must be able to do their role of over site.
Today, I am joining my colleagues in a lawsuit against the Trump-Vance Administration for illegally blocking us from doing our lawful duty of performing Congressional oversight of ICE detention facilities.

An unchecked executive branch is a danger to our democracy.

Appreciate Chris Madel reflecting on what his daughters will think.
And, shamefully, Lisa Demuth continues her firm embrace of the Trump regime terrorizing MN citizens. She is grossly unfit to lead our state.
Star Tribune: “Republican Chris Madel made a stunning exit from the Minnesota governor’s race on Jan. 26, saying he cannot support the national GOP’s ‘stated retribution on the citizens of our state, nor can I count myself a member of a party that would do so.’”
Chris Madel ends GOP bid for governor, says he can’t support federal ‘retribution’ against Minnesota
His exit comes as some other Republicans have started to distance themselves from the Trump administration’s immigration crackdown in the state.

Really hard to look at this and all the other examples of bravery and kindness from ordinary people in this moment not think also of the tremendous cowardice exhibited over the past year by some of the richest, most well-protected people in business, media and politics
Let us all have the courage displayed by the residents of Minneapolis.
