Picture from my ride in today. It feels weird going to City hall to sit in our chambers while our community is being terrorized by ICE, but I’m proud we’ll be bringing forward proposals to fund rental assistance and immigration legal services at our committee of the whole meeting today.

Let’s test this little theory of yours that driving behind federal agents is a crime, that taking pictures of them is a crime, that I can’t tell my neighbors where they are. Let’s find out exactly how much of a leg you have to stand on. Fancy your odds? I don’t.

It is immensely frustrating that there are so many good people of genuine faith in this country who recognize the evil in front of them but do not get credit for being religious people because they’re not screaming about abortion.

The arrests of Don Lemon and Georgia Fort, plus the New York Times story about using facial recognition to take away PreCheck and Global Entry from observers, reveals how closely linked these two missions are. There is no separating ICE’s twin missions of ethnic cleansing and ideological terror.

Something I've been trying to impart on people is that the ICE occupation in Minnesota is both an ethnic cleansing and an ideological terror campaign. It's clear that the second part has utterly failed; the community is not terrified. But ICE is now desperately trying to salvage the first part.

You could imagine similar situations in which members of the media coordinated in solidarity around Lemon to direct sustained negative attention to Trump over this story. Instead the political press spent the earlier part of the week making up a fake story ("new tone") to help Trump.
This isn’t about convicting Don Lemon. It’s unlikely that will happen. It’s about intimidating journalists & making them censure themselves out of fear of consequences. It’s about eroding the free press because the administration can’t afford the criticism.
This just in: "Don Lemon was taken into custody by federal agents last night in Los Angeles, where he was covering the Grammy awards," Lemon's attorney Abbe Lowell says.

There’s debate about talking to the press tonight. I’ve tried to explain that two things are happening on the ground. Offensive, observing ICE like what Will is doing, and defensive, helping vulnerable people. I am fine if offense talks to responsible press as long as they take precaution.

It seems that Tom Homan’s shift to a more humane approach is just ICE agents targeting local schools. Reports of parents getting abducted outside of schools, agents entering schools, hanging out around children’s bus stops.

They have this upside down mentality that in any ICE-CBP/community interaction, the responsibility for keeping things peaceful is on the untrained and unarmed public, while trained and armed agents of the state are permitted to freak out.
They keep trying to convince people of that.

Ah, here’s that softened tone: rather than shooting Minnesotans dead, the administration will play nice by setting them up for stochastic harassment and death threats.
Since we published this, Pam Bondi's X account has started posting mugshots of Minnesotans arrested for impeding ICE/CBP. Sharing a defendant's photo publicly in this way is forbidden under DOJ rules
ICE and CBP are at the head of Trump's campaign to terrorize Minnesotans. But the Justice Department is not far behind.
