it wasn’t Border Patrol or ICE arresting clergy for peacefully protesting, it was a police department in MN. it’s police in MN using weapons of war to disperse crowds outside hotels where ICE agents sleep. no MN cop put renee good’s killer in cuffs or stopped alex pretti’s killers from fleeing.

The Wrecking Crew could have/should have been more, but the fun chemistry between Jason Momoa and Dave Bautista does the heavy lifting.

This is EXACTLY what St. Paul has been warning about all these years.
Originally published on 6/2/2020 (after the killing of George Floyd), this cartoon seems all too relevant again today.

ICE is quietly reshaping daily life in greater MN, too.

In Willmar, more than 1,200 of 4,000 students were absent recently -- both white and BIPOC, teacher Tammy Knapper says. ICE detained a 19-year-old student for five days. Trauma takes the place of learning. Something must change. #edmnvotes

A Minnesota woman observing ICE agents in her car was cornered on one-way streets. An agent approached, called her by name—citing facial recognition. Days later, her Global Entry and TSA privileges were revoked, with no explanation.

My 4th grader said 7 kids are out of his classroom alone. We're in the northern suburbs.
Did I mention that large portions of MN’s population are in hiding right now? Kids are missing school. Adults can’t go out to work. People aren’t able to buy food or pay rent, and mutual aid is all keeping everyone going. We keep us safe, on our own, and people are being shot in the street for it

The tone shift is to have Tom Homan recite that the extortionate and coercive demands in AG Bondis letter - turn over your voter rolls, abandon your state policies, and give us Medicaid data & we’ll end the occupation and terrorization of a state - are the terms
Homan: "The withdrawal of law enforcement resources here is dependent upon cooperation ... as we see that cooperation happen, then the redeployment will happen"

ICE activity has not noticeably tapered off yet here and in fact this week they seem to be focused on terrorizing kids at bus stops and schools.
yes, there are no real signs of any big change in DHS activity here yet. In Chicago there really was after Bovino left and they basically ended "Midway Blitz" not so here so far.
I don’t know, declaring victory in MN seems premature. They’re still arresting people and brutalizing the community. The changes appear—so far—to be cosmetic

Just fucking dogshit. You know what this is this is the kind of victory you get one someone steals your wallet and you convince them to give you your ID back so you don’t have to get a new one.
Dems coalescing around 5 restrictions on ICE, I'm told:

DHS required to cooperate with state probes (big)
CBP stays at border
warrants for arrests
IDs, bodycams
ICE out of churches, schools

"That package unites a lot of Dems," Sen Chris Murphy tells me on the pod:

Hey everybody. I see mini nazi and his goon squad leaving Minnesota that is not the same as all of Homeland’s people getting out. Plus if everyone left right now think to yourself “that’s it we’re done?” Our friends and family will be safer but there is no justice in that.
