Federal agents pinned a man to the ground in south Minneapolis and sprayed him with chemical irritants directly in the face.
Minnesota Star Tribune photographer Rich Tsong-Taatarii did not witness the man put his hands on agents.

This is what happened in our neighborhood yesterday. ICE snatched a human being off of our streets, roughed them up badly, and then pepper sprayed legal observers as they documented it all. This is a daily occurrence happening all throughout Minnesota right now.

ICE just indiscriminately stopped a citizen at a bus stop in front of the co-op. If this is how they treat the President of the Minneapolis City Council who is legally observing, just think of what they’re doing to everyone else in our City.

People need homes.
We’re short 100,000 homes in MN.
In OR, they figured out how to build more.
Yet, the #mnleg has failed to make meaningful progress to make it easier to build more homes.
Why? City pressure. Talk to your city about why they oppose real fixes to our statewide housing shortage.

"In 2020, [Portland, OR] approved building [middle housing] on lots zoned for single family homes... A new report from the City says, it's working. 1,400 new units built in just a few years and each one is $300,000 less expensive than a typical single family home." @nbcnews.com
