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.

NEW: The Trump admin publicized the arrest of an "antifa domestic terrorist," implying he was charged with threatening federal agents. But the criminal complaint suggests Kyle Wagner was charged with Instagram beefing with controversial rightwing agitator Jayden Scott.

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.

Sue who was detained in early December and had her wedding band cut off, is out on patrol near daily and has had them tell her the final warning over 10x.
When they boxed Elliott and I in and came to my car they literally said to us right away:
“This is your first and final warning we have license plate readers and facial recognition we know who you are”

stop pretending you have concrete facts about what's happening in a town you left.

Anyway, I don’t really like to talk about this because it’s a very emotional and sensitive topic for people, and it’s hard when you’re in the moment. But I promise you the people I have gone city to city with are extremely dedicated to this, and many of us have decided it’s time to go home.

The biggest issue is that this is simply an ongoing siege. Not a lot has changed on the ground, so the media just kind of moves on to the next thing. There’s more feature stories about various aspects of this resistance and local media has been great, but new news keeps happening elsewhere.
