A combination of litigation and political action helped force Trump to back down in Minnesota. This result adds to already extensive evidence that exploiting synergy between the two can be effective strategy for curbing abuses of government power.

Still around 100 community reports of ICE activity around the Twin Cities today, the most of any state by far.

In case you’re wondering why so many of us aren’t quite taking Homan’s presser today at face value.

A screenshot of People Over Papers’ ICE reporting map. The map resets at 4 am ET every day. In Minnesota, over 100 reports have been filed today, with the overwhelming majority in and around the Twin Cities.

Stay safe. Fuck ICE.

For many doctors and patients in Minneapolis, medical care has moved underground www.npr.org/2026/02/11/n...

Minneapolis doctors warn of lasting medical effects, even after ICE agents leave

The immigration crackdown in Minneapolis has pushed many people in the city to stay at home for the last few months. Doctors say the trend is alarming, and may have lasting effects.

Thank you, brave people in Minnesota who stood up against Trump's "mass deportation" policies!

This would not have happened without you.

We need to ensure that Trump's personal goon squad receives the same un-welcome that the great people in Minnesota gave!

The end of the surge of ICE, CBP & other federal agents was finally announced. The cost of the "operation" includes: two deaths, many injuries, millions of dollars, lost economic activity, community members kidnapped, detained & deported.

How Trump's withdrawal from Minneapolis is being covered abroad.

In Le Monde, the lead French daily, the homepage article starts with:

"Two people dead, thousands arrested, two cities shaken, and Donald Trump defeated."
