This morning there was an ICE presence on McKinley street but then over 20 neighbors responded right away with their whistles and cameras and ICE left. This follows over a dozen ICE agents breaking into an apartment on Franklin Ave at 6 am this morning without presenting a warrant.

Donate to Help Maricruz Keep Her Family Safe and Housed in Minneapolis, organized by Maricruz Lozano Rios Neighbors, my name is Maricruz. I was raised in Minnesota and… Maricruz Lozano Rios needs your support for Help Maricruz Keep Her Family Safe and Housed in Minneapolis

I know Maricruz. This was hard for her to ask for help.

I know we’re all hemorrhaging money but hopefully some rich person sees this and can contribute. She’s not asking for much.

Time to help the helpers.

Minnesota refugees and immigrants are hiding in β€˜a prison of fear’ Across Minnesota, thousands of immigrants and refugees are staying home from work, church and school to avoid ICE agents.

”I am a prisoner in my apartment,” said the 30-year-old North St. Paul resident. β€œI am hiding in the shadows, not because I have committed a crime, but because the streets of Minnesota have begun to look terrifyingly similar to the war zone I escaped.” www.startribune.com/minnesota-re...

I'm not sure what to make of it, but every Somali I represent in immigration court currently (8 of them) have today had their hearings cancelled and their judges reassigned. They're now all assigned to a video judge from Louisiana and scheduled for court hearing in one month. 🧡

Rebel loon quilt block. Dark blue outlined in lighter blue. Red eye. Off white back ground. Some obvious mistakes, but we’re all doing our best.

Rebel loon quilt block. Dark blue outlined in lighter blue. Red eye. Off white back ground. Some obvious mistakes, but we’re all doing our best.

Rent is still due, so I’m still working on things to raffle off to support mutual aid, including a protest quilt. Current suggestions for words to accompany this rebel loon are

β€œTogether we rise”
β€œRebellions are built on hope”

What do you think will bring in more money for MN mutual aid?

Teamsters back Greg Abbott as unions split endorsements in governor's race The state’s largest labor group, the Texas AFL-CIO, is backing Democrat Gina Hinojosa.

I know a lot of people operate off the assumption all unions are good and should be regarded as such at all times but they are in fact very different depending on their leadership and membership.

The same school where Liam and Elizabeth were just returned.

These are the kids that the principal had to escort IN to Whipple to be with their mother. Ha had to hold their hands walking into that monstrous building.

It’s weird to me that democrats are demanding body cams (useless) but not demanding all the children in camps be released.

They could call it the Liam Act.

Why are they not doing such easy slam dunk work?

Fridley, Duluth districts sue to stop ICE near schools Fridley Public Schools, Duluth Public Schools, and Education Minnesota sued the Department of Homeland Security, seeking to stop immigration enforcement near schools.

I’m assuming more districts will join in?

Solidarity not charity!

You can find much more about this in my book Mutual Aid which is free on the Anarchist Library. I just wrote an updated edition that is coming out March 31.

While Tom Homan was trying to grab headlines this morning ICE was again circling our schools. They’ve been out all morning and no β€œdrawdown” is enough until every single one of these agents is out of our state and DHS is abolished.

I think one thing people outside Minnesota don't understand is that after Good and Pretti were killed by feds while observing, the most normal people you could imagine have made peace with the fact that they could be next, and they are still out there because they say it's the right thing to do.
