Near Lyndale and 24th Ave in Minneapolis tonight, feds have reportedly shot another person.
Preliminary info is shaky for now, hearing two people injured.
BORTAC just rolled up in an armored vehicle. A crowd is gathering outside the police tape—MPD presence as well.

so much to cover right now, but a thread i just want to throw out there from my reporting is that the car rental market in minneapolis is reportedly totally screwed up right now because ICE has cleared the inventory. rental companies should have to answer for supplying vehicles used in terror.

Starting to feel like having a bunch of city and state snow plows blockading
Fort Snelling to keep the ICE goons in would be a reasonable peace-keeping move.

ICE officers tell media that the conduct in Minneapolis is part of a plan by Stephen Miller to provoke as much violence and death as possible—which in turn will be taken as pretext for more. “They’re essentially operating now in a resource constraint-free environment and doing very dangerous things”
Former members of ICE say recent violence is "by design"
"What has changed is there has been an encouragement from the top to be much more aggressive in enforcement."

ICE is responsible for 60-75% of the total shootings in MPLS so far in 2026 while being responsible for the first (i think only, but that could be different now) homicide of the year. this isn’t making us safer, @governorwalz.mn.gov, @mayorjacobfrey.bsky.social, @ag.state.mn.us, @ilhanmn.bsky.social
![Important Update !!
Date: 1/14/26
Time: 7:35pm
Location: [REDACTED, but in MPLS]
Confirmed 2 people shot by ICE, neither dead. Many observers present, more heading over.
ICE is still present in the area, vulnerable people should stay clear of the area for now.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:gkhlgiv6hsui5gqyye2zrbd3/bafkreidybifbleyxcivosmjtkjatwfiujj3m6hn7xwhwu3qxm574pahvxe@jpeg)

I am so fucking tired of these pointless fucking fights over rhetoric; if you have a plan for meaningful reform of immigration enforcement you should just release and it and call it whatever the fuck you want.
ICE may be shooting people in the face, sending people to concentration camps, and illegally occupying our cities but, apparently, the Democrats think saying, "abolish ICE" is "emotional" and politically "lethal."

Imagine arriving in an armored vehicle, dressed in all your expensive military gear, and being chased away by a bunch of regular folks in clothes that normal folks wear. What a bunch of clowns.
Feds realized they weren't going to have an easy time getting through. Can't see what's happening on other end of the road. They're reversing out.

is this about Greenland or Minneapolis?
How about we not get into a fight with Scandinavian soldiers in a frozen landscape. Foreign invaders trying that while going "we're bigger than you, back down" has a bad record.

Saint Paul schools will be closed Tuesday and Wednesday to prepare for optional online learning.
I’ve seen schools close for snow, for pandemic, for natural disaster. I’ve never seen schools close because of threat from our own government.

This is Bovino & Noem are purposefully escalating tensions. They tip their hand with every move. They won’t be satisfied with anything less than all out war. BORTAC is the CPB counterterrorism unit, trained to respond to terrorism & hostage situations. They are creating these situations themselves.

For people outside Minneapolis: North is the historically Black part of the city. It's been heavily disinvested from, gutted by the 2008 mortgage crisis, and got hit by a tornado which did damage you can still see from aerial photos. It's no mistake ICE is going after more vulnerable populations.
i feel for the people of north minneapolis if they’re about to become a protest hot spot from outside the neighborhoods. this is an area often neglected and ignored by even its own elected officials. people not from over north should really be judicious in how they act coming over there

ICE shot another person in Minneapolis and then launched gas throughout the whole street—minutes after Walz told Minnesotans to "protest peacefully," as if we're not watching fascists violently kidnap, horrifically brutalize, and fucking shoot our neighbors.

A single federal agent with a long gun just walked through the crowd, slipped on the ice on his way under the police tape.

ICE is changing tactics. They are putting leftist and pride stickers on their vehicles. They are putting stuffed animals in their rear windows or on their dashboards. They are using different license plates on the front and back of their vehicles.
