Here's what ICE is up to in Northeast Minneapolis today. Absolutely heartbreaking.

Warning: video is hard to watch

Let your Senators (directory: bit.ly/46XDe4v) and Congressional reps
(bit.ly/3Nro7cg) know how you feel. Call early and call often!

AG Bondi demands access to Minnesota voter rolls after fatal Border Patrol shooting Her demand came as Minneapolis was reeling from a second fatal shooting by a federal agent this month.

Bondi’s letter represents a major assault on Minnesota’s sovereignty, demanding that it forfeit its ability to make and enforce its own laws and maintain its voter rolls without oversight from the executive branch, which does not have authority over elections. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

Minnesota National Guard mobilizes around Minneapolis following fatal shooting Troops will be supporting local law enforcement “securing” the site where Alex Pretti was shot, as well as a federal building.

I don't know anything about any of Minneapolis neighborhoods I just used Google Lens to find it.

#Murderous #ICE.

Time to strike!

Not sure of your point here.

>>The building visible in the background is the Park Center apartment complex, located at 1515 Park Avenue South in Minneapolis.<<

"What can Democrats actually do?"

- Vote against funding for ICE and DHS

- State that any ICE officers who commit crimes under Trump will be prosecuted to the full extent of the law

- Encourage cities and states to refuse to cooperate with ICE

- Explain ICE is part of Trump's tyranny

Alex Pretti, the nurse murdered by #ICE. Remember and say his name. #AlexPretti

Video (nsfw) shows #ICE agents shooting an unarmed person, as agents wrestle the person to the ground, in Minneapolis, near Glam Doll Donuts. Full discussion with links:

ICE is now responsible for 66% of the homicides in Minneapolis this year.

Vote these folks out.

No, I had NOT noticed. 1. I don't remember many being terribly vocal so for them to be quieter doesn't track. 2. Rep. Ro Khanna is very vocal and all over indy media. Who in particular is not speaking up any longer?

A remarkable letter, indeed.
