Our next US Senator - never thanked ICE and won’t bow down just because they say they’re leaving. 👏🏻
@peggyflanagan.bsky.social knows the healing will take so much longer than the occupation - with some things never able to be healed.
I’m relieved that this violent paramilitary force will be removed from our streets, but I won’t believe it until they're actually gone.

Minnesotans deserve justice and accountability, and I won’t stop until we get it.

Not a single reporter asked Homan how many DHS troops would remain in the Twin Cities after the surge “ends.” Journalism is so dead

I would like the definitions of "small" and "footprint" please
Homan says the ICE drawdown in Minnesota is "already underway this week, and will continue into the next week."

A "small footprint" will remain, he says.

But Trump's ICE surge in Minneapolis is officially over.

Yes yes yes!!!
even if ICE move on, levy armstrong says, where is the accountability? it is not enough for them to get out, to move to another community. they must face accountability for the harm they put on the state of minnesota

@amyklobuchar.com nor @klobuchar.senate.gov have posted anything about the BWCA bill. Not a surprise but for a senator running for Minnesota governor it's baffling how she doesn't take a position on so many issues that directly impact the state
There is NOTHING ‘America First’ about selling out some of our most pristine waters so a Chilean mining company can come in, take our minerals, ship them to China for processing, then sell them off.

All while polluting the Boundary Waters in the process.

this is... not happening in Minneapolis or anywhere else, really
Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O’Hara told his officers that they have a duty to intervene if they see ICE committing crimes and will be fired if they don't. We need a lot more of this.

The time for mincing words and normalizing his ethnic cleansing campaign (disguised as “immigration policy”) is over. Trump is a racist. His party tolerates if it does not actively endorse his racism. Those who normalize him enable racism. His agenda is racist open.substack.com/pub/contrari...

On top of the violence of this “arrest” it’s incredibly inefficient. Where are the fiscally conservative folks who say we can’t help with rent? ABOLISH ICE AND DHS
After 6am this morning in Whittier, Minneapolis—FOUR BLOCKS from where Pretti was murdered.

18 agents with Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) markings smashed an apartment window, ran in, and came out with one man.

Sheriff Witt - this is the kind of law enforcement you could provide. So sad for you that you chose not to. #removewitt
👀 Looks like the husband of the woman ICE abducted called his lawyer, lawyer called the cops, then the police chief went and got her & took her home

Article says it may be the first time local Minnesota PD "intervened in a federal law enforcement action" since Trump started terrorizing the state

There are still approximately 1,000 children who were victims of family separation during the first Trump administration that were never reunited with their families

Currently, DHS has been quietly taking children from their parents AGAIN

It's immoral

Tom Homan should be fired and prosecuted
Homan was the architect of family separation, the biggest immigration enforcement debacle of Trump’s first term. www.mediamatters.org/fox-news/fox...

The people of Minnesota have executed one of the most impressive civil resistance campaigns I can remember:

- Organized a city wide general strike
- Maintained nonviolent discipline amidst violence
- Mobilized 10,000s in subzero temps to protest and watch ICE
- Flipped public opinion against ICE

DHS is still disappearing people nationwide and it is not stopping because of fall boy Bovino reportedly being flicked aside. Camps are still being filled for profit.
Again it's good Bovino got pulled back. It's good there might be even a temporary drawdown in Minneapolis. But DHS is surging in Maine. It is grabbing people around Los Angeles. They aren't stopping. Maybe they're scared but they aren't stopping. The American Dirty War continues.
