Nick Benson is an activist with MN50501 who works in commercial flight data analytics. He is one of a handful of people who spend much of their days documenting ICE activity at the airport. Since the beginning of December, Benson has observed more than 1,000 people board ICE flights at MSP.
Observer: ICE detainee flights increase at MSP as enforcement action ramps up
As the immigration enforcement surge continues in Minnesota, more people detained by ICE are being flown out of state. It’s raising concerns of “erroneous deportations.”

Don't bother arguing about whether ICE is a police force or a military force. It's neither. It behaves as a disorganized, violent mob, cursing, shouting contradictory orders, and attacking unarmed citizens on a whim. It is deployed to create fear and chaos, not to enforce laws or establish order.

This is completely fucking unacceptable. Shut this terrorist government down until it stops brutalizing its own citizens.
Today at 34 & Park in Minneapolis, a woman tried to drive down the street where a protest had broken out in front of a home ICE was raiding, saying she had a doctor apt to get to. ICE agents busted out her windows, cut off her seatbelt, and pulled her out before arresting her.

i think enforcing immigration law is also bad on its face but it really can’t be stated enough how much these guys are not even pretending like that’s the priority here. the goal of this operation is to intimidate us all into passive subjugation to this paramilitary group
Guys I think they're instantly getting DVS data.
Pulled up next to this guy on central going south in Columbia heights, followed him, they turned around, got on 694, crossed the river, and went straight to my house in Brooklyn center.

Trump plan is to grab as much loot from U.S. and world as quickly as he can and grab as much power and inflict as much terror as he can to destroy fair elections and solidify his power in the U.S.

Any Democratic votes to fund DHS later this month as Minneapolis is being terrorized by DHS is going to be a major slap in the face to Americans living here. Demand major reforms or shut the government down.

In addition to the laundry list of terrible conduct by federal agents, Ellison calls it an "unlawful commandeering of police resources."
"In just two days responding to the chaos ICE has caused, has cost the city $2 billion in law enforcement resources." I assume he meant MILLION.
