Another journalist assaulted by ICE in Minnesota.
Photo by Pierre Lavie. Yes this is me. And I threw my Leica. It landed on the bass plate with hardly a scratch. Another Photographer grabbed it along with my phone and I was able to track him later. I was held face down tear gas deployed right in front of me and pepper sprayed directly into the eye.

ICE has kidnapped so many people from their cars that the city had to put out this statement. Let that sink in.
Vehicles that are abandoned due to an ICE detention and towed to the City's impound lot will be released to their owners or a representative at no cost.

This weekend, temperatures in Minneapolis are expected to drop to around zero degrees, an Arctic blast that could hinder the Trump administration’s continuing immigration crackdown. Residents who have been protesting for days said that a seriously cold stretch would play only to their advantage.
