Swear to god, ICE could just announce they're leaving a city but not leave and the media will just stop covering that city completely even though ICE never left.
It's what ICE and the media did with LA and they're doing it with Minneapolis too

Tiny bits of window dressing that Trump said he would moderate in Minneapolis were covered breathlessly, while the fact that the actual situation on the ground is every bit as bad as ever is treated as yesterday's news. People i know in the city all confirm what Aaron's saying here

ICE is still doing checkpoints in Minneapolis like we are an occupied territory. Life remains really hard here thanks to Trump's thugs.

The fact that the President of the United States posts a racist video with an image depicting the Obamas as apes and we’re supposed to pretend it’s perfectly normal, everyday stuff shows exactly what is terribly wrong with today’s political mainstream media.

The public made noise for Liam Ramos and it got him released from Dilley.
Now we must make noise for 7 year old Diana Crespo.
Her parents were taking her for emergency medical care when ICE grabbed them, and she’s rotting in the camp sick and exposed to measles.
Get them out!

Trump was probably on a path to win the moment the three-cueing zoomer streamer class decided he was a kind of national Fun Uncle, at which the horrors of the first term were washed away and replaced with this idea that he’s the guy who’d give you permission to be a sneering little twit

There was an abduction in front of my apartment this morning. Afterwards, a Hennepin County Sheriff car drove by. Around 10-15 of us screamed at them for help, seeking assistance with the abandoned, window-smashed car. Some ran after them. They continued driving. 😑

Most of the footage you see from ICE observers in Minnesota comes from the core cities of Minneapolis and St. Paul. I talked to observers in the northern suburbs, who say they're taking on the same mission in very different conditions. (1)

The videos don’t solely have negative impacts on youth. The thought that adults allow domestic militarization and perpetual warfare rather than leveraging health, housing and education is what really overwhelms kids. How can this be the reality? A country of 340 million people can’t stop 536?
