It’s day 54 of the ICE occupation of MSP.
We are once again a city in mourning.
We are mourning Alex. We are still mourning Renee.
And we’re mourning all the neighbors who have been abducted by ICE.
We stand shoulder to shoulder with neighbors across the state, saying ICE OUT.

Who in their right mind believes statements from the Department of Homeland Security?
Who believes anything Kristi Noem or Stephen Miller or Trump might say about what has just happened in Minneapolis?
They no longer have any credibility. That should be clear by now.
They lie like they breathe.

At the time of Maher’s detention, disability advocates warned that taking away Wael’s caregiver put his life at risk.

This video filmed by Ben Luhmann shows the moment a federal agent sprayed chemical irritants directly into a man's face in south Minneapolis.
Three agents already had the man pinned to the ground when a fourth agent walked up and sprayed the irritants.

Our reporting has found that ICE sent 600 immigrant kids to detention in federal shelters in 2025.
A 17-year-old was detained at a traffic stop because officers couldn’t make contact with his dad, who is deaf.
Another kid ended up in a shelter after making a wrong turn:

🚨HOLY CRAP. An ICE whistleblower just revealed a secret memo authorizing ICE officers to break into homes without a judicial warrant, which DHS's own legal training materials say is unconstitutional!
ICE then hid the memo from the public, passing it along by word of mouth and private conversation.
