Minnesotan. Singer of silly songs.
Even when the law works "as intended" and legal immigrants eventually get released, the process itself is the punishment. This is one reason calls for "oversight" are so disingenuous. No oversight authority can respond as quickly as ICE can do harm. Their ability to do harm needs to be removed.
Not that it would be okay to do this to an undocumented immigrant either but THIS GUY IS A LEGAL IMMIGRANT and also his lawyer hand delivered his medication and they REFUSED TO GIVE IT TO HIM.

Enraging! How do ANY of these people live with themselves?
A man taken into custody in Rochester Thursday by federal immigration agents and now held at the Whipple Federal Building in the Twin Cities is a recent organ transplant recipient who is without his needed anti-rejection medication, state Rep. Kim Hicks tells MPR News.

I’m on the scene at Franklin and 1st. A convoy of about a couple dozen ICE/HSI agents broke the entryway into an apartment building at 6am. No warrant presented. Less than 24 hours ago, Tom Homan announced the end of large convoys in Minnesota… Bullshit.

Yesterday morning, federal agents pointed handguns at drivers and passengers at 27th and Cedar Ave S. The video was frightening along with confirmed ICE vehicles across South Minneapolis. 1/

Abolish ICE.

There’s no reforming it.

There’s no compromise.

There’s only one way to rein in ICE’s terror campaign. Abolish it.

ICE is running a “conveyor belt” of illegally detained Minnesota families.

Agents are arresting entire families with legal status and immediately shipping them off to Texas to deny them legal representation and avoid the federal courts in Minnesota.

The cruelty is endless.

ICE kidnapped a permanent resident in Minnesota today. They let the individual go after realizing they had authorization. Don’t be fooled, ICE is still discriminating against our neighbors based on the color of their skin. 1/

Just days after a group of Trump-aligned billionaires officially took over TikTok in the U.S., users reported their videos criticizing ICE and the shooting of Alex Pretti were suppressed or delayed.

The oligarchy is tightening its grip over even more of our media.

Dear neighbor, It is not the time to let your guard down, nor is it the time to stop organizing.

While Bovino will be leaving Minneapolis along with some U.S. Border Patrol agents, there is still no specific plan that has been communicated to the public. 1/

Trump claims ICE's Minnesota raids — which have already killed two Americans — are justified to root out "fraud."

Meanwhile, he's pardoned multiple convicted fraudsters, including several who gave money to his campaign and Super PAC.

Dear neighbor,

There is a lot of ICE activity in South Minneapolis this morning. This includes the Phillips area, Central, and Powderhorn.

If you are an observer, please pair up with someone as we are seeing an escalation of tactics.

Call your reps. Let them know that if they vote for ICE funding, you will not vote for them ever again.

Representatives need to feel the heat. NO on ICE funding. No excuses.
So the House is going to vote TOMORROW on the DHS funding bill that includes funding for ICE.

There's a real chance we can get Dems to vote NO on any bill with ICE funding to sink it.

Once it goes to the Senate we likely lose this chance.

24 hours. Go.

Federal agents’ use of chemical weapons has hurt children at immigration raids, while walking down their block, and in their schools.

This includes a 6-month-old, whose mother was forced to perform CPR on him after being exposed to ICE's tear gas.

Enough is enough. Elected leaders must act immediately to end these dangerous federal operations and protect our communities. Our neighbors deserve safety — not another day of ICE terrorizing where we live, work, and raise our families.

Allowing our neighbors to be evicted because ICE has made it impossible for them to pay rent is unacceptable.

ICE is escalating a looming mass eviction crisis. It's time for the City of Minneapolis to take immediate action to keep families in their homes.

There’s reports that there will be 1,000 more agents coming to our city. We need that same surge in residents out patrolling our streets. Even if you can’t patrol, come work from a coffee shop on one of cultural corridors so you can be there to show up for our neighbors.
