This article from the Minnesota Star Tribune, describes the fear that ICE has created throughout Minnesota. This fear is felt by citizens as well as immigrants. The news is replete with instances of citizens being detained by ICE because of their appearance. www.startribune.com/minnesota-re...
Minnesota refugees and immigrants are hiding in ‘a prison of fear’
Across Minnesota, thousands of immigrants and refugees are staying home from work, church and school to avoid ICE agents.

This affected all levels of German society and allowed Germans to accept obvious atrocities performed right before their eyes.
We hear the terms "moral" and "righteousness" bandied about in political circles these days. But such terms can, and have been, appropriated in the past to mask great evil.

Skillfully using the new technology of radio, along with rallies, print media and cinema to spread their propaganda, the Third Reich convinced loyal German citizens to view racial purity and national dominance as moral imperatives.

But Koonz demonstrated how the Hitler regime, perpetrators of genocide, had a "powerful sense of right and wrong... It exalted the moral righteousness of the ethnic community and denounced outsiders." The Nazis propagandized this using the slogan "Blood and Soil."

I came across a book that intrigued me. Written by Claudia Koonz, a professor of history at Duke University, it was entitled "The Nazi Conscience." It was published in 2005. The title seemed like an oxymoron.

Does it make sense that a criminal who just tried to run over a federal agent would turn to 911 for help? Even more amazing, does it seem logical that this would be the first contact to the local police regarding the operation or the incident?

On Sept. 30, 2025, Trump told top military leaders at a special gathering at Quantico that they should use American cities as their training ground. I fear that is exactly what is underway with ICE. Today they practice on immigrants, tomorrow perhaps anyone whom the administration deems a threat.

We have seen the brutality exhibited by some ICE agents already this year. Imagine the impact that 10,000 more agents could have.
ICE operates with little oversight. It removes people without due process. It operates as a paramilitary unit on our streets and in our communities.
