When WaPo asked DHS abt possibility it won't get funded, it pointed to its propaganda about who it is arresting--the same lie it has been telling since Sen Padilla called Noem on it last summer. That makes MPR debunking all the more important.

In Minnesota, previously, only the game wardens were allowed to do that.

Uncomfortable truths about the #Fraud and #ICE situation in #Minnesota, brought to you by the #Epstein Files (can't forget about those!).
Fraud against government programs is widespread across the country, if not the world. I recently read that fraud needs to be treated like cyber-attacks

We all want to get violent criminals off our streets, and the State of Minnesota has never wavered in doing so.
The federal government’s propaganda machine is taking credit for work that happened long before thousands of untrained agents showed up to put on a show for Trump.

Not happy about the protesters entering Cities Church to confront its pastor, who works for ICE. Why not? Because I have worked with my own church to create policies about what to do if ICE appears. This includes designating spaces, such as the sanctuary as Private spaces, and other spaces as Public

This is the most astonishing graph of what the Trump regime has done to US science. They have destroyed the federal science workforce across the board. The negative impacts on Americans will be felt for generations, and the US might never be the same again.

ICE are more akin to slave Patrols than Gestapo.
Paddyrollers: This was a common nickname for Slave Patrols 🐎. While these groups primarily operated in the South to police plantations, the name followed the "profession" as a term of fear and derision. The term comes from "patroller."

Mark my words, the next "immigration enforcement action" will be to force Minnesota to give back Virginia's battle flag.

This ICE Agent was arrested last November for solicitation of a minor (and possessing meth) . Is this another reason ICE has it in for Minneapolis?

I just want it to be really clear, to people from out of the area, if they see pictures of fires in Minneapolis: THEY WERE STARTED BY ICE. NOT BY PROTESTERS. NOT BY RESIDENTS.
So not only are they shooting our citizens they are setting the city on fire. #MFD did respond. Someone get an Air Quality check in #Minneapolis with the volume of Flash Bangs & Chemical Irritants.
🚨BREAKING: Multiple fires have broken after ICE unleashed ANOTHER ONSLAUGHT of flash bang grenades and chemical gas at unarmed Minneapolis protesters in WAR-LIKE attack. LIVE NOW ⬇️
