This family did every single thing they’ve been asked to in order to seek asylum here.
Yet in less than 24 hours, this kid and his Dad were nabbed off our streets and sent to Texas, using tactics that can only be described as pure evil.

hennepin county sheriff’s office ramped up their work helping ICE even as dawanna witt announces her campaign kickoff. reports from whipple say they are acting as crowd control
they’ve created a barrier and ICE are barely guarding the gates now because HCSO are doing it for them. this frees up ICE

Minneapolis and Saint Paul have basically mobilized into a war economy of mutual aid and non-violent defense. I’ve never seen anything like it, even during Covid. People who barely vote are guarding their schools from ICE and doing the shopping for neighbors in hiding.
This is so smart. I’m so impressed with all the different ways you’re helping your neighbors.

I work with state parties every single day. There are only a handful of national leaders who actually raise real money for the year organizing state parties do--Ken Martin (dnc chair), Simon Rosenberg (Hopium), Sen. Warren and Actblue. Come for Simon and you come for all of us.
I'm not interested in arguing with the good people of Minnesota, on the front lines, doing the hard work of protecting our democracy. I've worked hard to bring your bravery and courage to the world in recent weeks on Hopium.

I've noted that some folks are not happy with this campaign. But all I'll say is there has been lots of criticism about Ds not meeting the moment. The DFL has put together a real program and is working to meet the moment. It's a program other state parties can learn from as these tactics spread 1/

I just want people to know that there is no active insurrection, no regular protests, no rioting or whatever. The only time people are in the streets is when masked armed ICE thugs descend on one of our neighbors to disappear them as part of a federal government-led ethnic cleansing campaign.

I'm mortified, ashamed, embarrassed, insulted, and not surprised that the DFL is fundraising off of this crisis to pay for TV ads in October.
Meanwhile calls & emails from desperate local party volunteers go unanswered on how the hell are we gonna have safe & accessible precinct caucuses on Feb 3.

As a state director of the DFL on the State Executive Committee, I can pretty confidently say that "the DFL" isn't doing a goddamn thing to combat ICE's lawless assault. We won't even do contactless caucuses.
We do have a number of local DFL electeds doing great work, which the party ignores.
