I briefly scanned each eviction filed by Minneapolis Public Housing Authority (MPHA) on 1/13/26 (including 3 more filed by Community Housing Resources, an entity affiliated with MPHA):
-41 evictions filed
-Average alleged overdue amounts: $362
-4 cases for < $100, 34 cases for <$500, 1 case over $1K

Neighbors in Minneapolis are keeping neighbors housed in the midst of the federal occupation—thousands of dollars are being raised via mutual aid networks to help pay rent.
Meanwhile, the Minneapolis Public Housing Authority filed 38 evictions yesterday against some of our most vulnerable neighbors

Bare bones, bare minimum starters:
-a daily press conference at the same time that catalogues and highlights the latest ICE abuses, with video evidence if possible
-a dedicated team of state lawyers and prosecutors who can be available as legal advisers to people caught up in ICE interactions

I know people on Bsky know this but I hope it filters out: The feds are OCCUPYING the Twin Cities. This is a blockade, a siege. They are shutting down economic and civic activity. They are conducting "papers please" stops. They are criminalizing being a bystander/witness.
You could be next.

ICE rammed into a car at 34th and Park And then began to question the immigration status of U.S. Citizen Latino’s they crashed into.
They also deployed chemical irritants into the eyes of the press. Abolish ICE now.

Folks this was not a door to door search this house was being targeted. I'm not saying that door-to-door search is not happening but this was in my neighborhood I know exactly what happened they were targeting this house with a bullshit administrative warrant.
A video of ICE agents conducting door-to-door searches today in Minneapolis
The homeowner requests a warrant repeatedly, is told they don't require one, then is told they're getting it, then the agents storm in anyway
They also point a taser at her to try and disrupt filming

The reactionary centrist logic is simple: if the left does something bad it’s the left’s fault, and if the right does something bad, it’s also the left’s fault for making them do it. It’s a simple formula and once you see it every one of their arguments is the same
