There is a reason SPPD and every even reasonably sensible law enforcement agency prohibits chases/pursuits in urban areas. They are shown to be far too risky and almost always cause more damage than they're worth.
One of the *MANY* guidelines and norms the feds are breaking on a daily basis.

This is the aftermath of an ICE kidnapping a few blocks from my home in St. Paul—an hour ago. A quiet street full of broken glass and at least three wrecked cars. The target of the kidnapping was taken away by ambulance. He was on a stretcher and covered by a sheet, though a cop said he was alive.

This is a really important point, and part of what MN has been demanding - we don't just want ICE OUT, we want ICE STOPPED - we shouldn't have been terrorized like this, and nobody else should either.
Chicago, Portland, and LA demanded the same, but ICE just moved on - and came to MN.
NO MORE.

even if ICE move on, levy armstrong says, where is the accountability? it is not enough for them to get out, to move to another community. they must face accountability for the harm they put on the state of minnesota

an echo of what has happened already with CPD and LAPD: outright refusal to serve their communities and visibly assisting the feds. The failure of local politicians and the police to act need a major reckoning when this is over. It already was necessary for institutional biases but even more so now.

I love this project and I love that one of my elected officials has been leading it. Seeing the organizing and on-the-ground safety work of @jasoncomix.bsky.social as well as several Minneapolis city council members has really stretched my imagination about what elected public service can look like.
It’s been another busy week dealing with the ICE occupation in Minneapolis, but I wanted to give you a Burrito update!
We started this project just over 5 weeks ago, and since then we’ve provided over 1150 meals for people, and spent almost $12k at local, immigrant-owned restaurants!

Today was a special one for me- one of my former coworkers lived her dream of starting a food truck last year. Unfortunately, with ICE making her neighborhood unsafe, she wasn’t able to operate the truck much the past 6 weeks.
But today, we bought 300 tamales from her and got her family $1000.

no one wants to challenge dawanna witt for hennepin county sheriff either
Can't believe not one DFL politician is going to just go for it and challenge Klobuchar for governor. We're going to sleepwalk in the middle of this crisis because nobody wants to take on the big dog.
Minnesota is currently under an economic blockade. So @amyklobuchar.com what are you gonna do? How many businesses are we going to lose without a bailout?

This is irresponsible. Not one elected official can claim this is a good return on investment or has increased public safety. This is bigger than “Somali Fraud” but yall don’t lose your shit over this ever.
If you thought MPD overspending their 2025 overtime budget by 50% was bad, get a load of 2026: "We have spent all of our overtime budgeted for police and fire this year in the first 3 weeks of January."

In the Skyway 20 minutes after an ice abduction, mayor Frey walks through the government center. A lady yells at him "what are you doing to stop this? Fuck you." He responds, "is that helpful?" With a smirk on his face.

Why shouldn’t sheriff’s give ICE more information than they are legally required to?
Our local jails are pre-trial facilities. That means that the people being held there have not yet been convicted of a crime.
When ICE takes people away before they have been convicted of a crime, they are preventing victims and witnesses from their opportunity to seek justice.

Following this incident I followed up with Mayor Frey to ask for more information about what had happened. His chief of staff confirmed that the Mayor and his administration had a meeting with border czar Tom Homan. I assume the ICE vehicles outside were part of Homan’s convoy.

Hosting the border czar and ICE agents in City Hall (and its parking areas) is a violation of the City’s separation ordinance and broader City policy. These are in place to protect our residents and City staff.
