Ending this operation is not enough.
We need justice and accountability. That starts with independent investigations into the murders of Renee Good and Alex Pretti, economic restitution for businesses impacted, abolishing ICE, and the impeachment of Kristi Noem.

statement from minnesota lt gov and US senate candidate peggy flanagan on tom homan’s announcement of the ICE surge ending soon
![Statement from Lt. Governor Peggy Flanagan on White House Border Czar Tom Homan Saying ICE Surge in Minnesota Will Soon End
ST. LOUIS PARK, MN [02/12/26]—Lt. Governor Peggy Flanagan released the following statement after White House Border Czar Tom Homan said ICE Surge in Minnesota will soon end:
“I’m relieved that this violent paramilitary force will be removed from our streets, but I won’t believe it until they're actually gone. Minnesotans stood together against this chaos and cruelty. We never gave up on our neighbors.
But I will never — EVER — forget nor forgive the fear, violence, and chaos the federal government has laid on our doorstep. ICE has killed two Minnesotans, Renee Good and Alex Pretti. and harmed so many more. Our children, like little Liam and Chloe have been targeted and traumatized. I will never forget the terrified looks on their faces. Our schools, our small businesses, and our churches have been targeted, closed, and harmed forever.
This is the first step in many to truly get justice for Minnesota. We must rip apart this agency that operates outside the law. The government must restore and repair what’s been broken. Minnesotans deserve justice and accountability, and I won’t stop until we get it.”](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:o6b6p7w54st6r7ze6nmjv4it/bafkreidw3lmpuazr36nmxoauyiqjtaiq7btte6vch7ks7x65wuuwlvjgiy@jpeg)

This morning Tom Homan announced operation metro surge would end soon. I’ll believe it when I see it. We still need people out and staying vigilant until every last agent is gone and everyone wrongly taken to Texas or anyone else is back home.

He literally says in this clip that ICE will keep in Minnesota “quick reaction forces” — a military term — to go after “agitators.” Remember that those on the ground in MPLS have spent more than a week trying to tell everyone that Trump’s prior “deescalation” was a ruse and ICE is still operational
Homan: "Operation Metro Surge is ending. In the next week, we're going to deploy the officers here on detail back to their home stations or to other areas of the country where they're needed."

what sort of deal with the devil did you make to sell out our neighbors, governor?
The long road to recovery starts now.
The impact on our economy, our schools, and people’s lives won’t be reversed overnight. That work starts today.
I’ll have more at 9:45.

With the announcement that the ICE surge in MN is ending, I’m thinking about how so many people thought the child in Bad Bunny’s halftime performance was Liam Ramos and how our need for Hollywood endings and satisfying payoffs might hinder us from dealing with the painful and traumatic aftermath.

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.

New Trump administration rule will bar green-card holders from applying for SBA loans
The new rule, which goes into effect March 1, says only firms owned by citizens or U.S. nationals will qualify for Small Business Administration loans.

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!
