Bad Bunny didn’t just perform; he turned the world’s biggest stage into a celebration of love, culture, and pure joy. From the vibrant visuals to a message of inclusion that doesn't need a translator, San Benito proved that music is a universal language.

Towing business returning cars abandoned by arrested immigrants to their families for free (01:55) Twin Cities News Twin Cities tow truck driver returns abandoned vehicles to families after ICE arrests ©CBS NEWS MINNESOTA •By Ray Campos February 5, 2026 / 7:25 PM CST / CBS Minnesota # Add CBS News on Google Juan Leon had only been running his Twin Cities tow truck business, Leo's Towing, for a few months when he noticed a pattern that kept repeating itself. Cars were being left behind across the metro area - parked on streets, in parking lots, sometimes for days at a time. The owners were gone, and in many cases, they had been arrested by the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement.

Wishing blessings upon blessings to Juan Leon, the owner of Leo's Towing.

The tow truck company has been returning abandoned vehicles to families for free after ICE arrests, despite death threats.

Not all heroes wear capes.

White Americans in Minneapolis are putting Mexican flags on their cars so ICE agents waste time pulling them over. People are calling it “ICE fishing.”

My city kicks so much ass.

Also, the fact that this is working on ICE agents tells you everything you need to know.

46th St & I-35w, 175 E 46th St, Minneapolis, MN 55419, USA Description: As I was leaving my home, I hear cars honking near the top the of bridge. People screaming and whistling, I got in my uber and drove out. My uber driver mentioned that they were standing on top of the bridge and doing a check point and stopping people.

46th St & I-35w, 180 E 46th St, Minneapolis, MN 55419, USA Description: 4 vehicles pulled over a man in a red van on 46th over 35. Agents in Police US border patrol vests surrounding vehicle checking papers

ICE is still doing checkpoints in Minneapolis like we are an occupied territory. Life remains really hard here thanks to Trump's thugs.

Federal Judges have a very real and well-established reason to fear doxing and violence and yet I doubt anyone thinks it would be acceptable for them to preside from the bench in a hood.

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.

Walz demands DHS stop detaining Minnesota children In a letter to Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem, Walz demanded details about how many Minnesota kids are in detention facilities.

They’re taking children from Minnesota and locking them up like criminals in detention camps in Texas.

For the love of God, send our kids home and bring an end to this nightmare.

Immigrant Safety Act: Bill to ban immigrant detention in New Mexico heads to governor's desk "If the bill becomes law — it'll make it a crime for these counties, any county, any local government to contract with ICE to house ICE detainees," KOAT legal expert John Day said.

Really proud of New Mexico!

The safest place in America for a debased criminal is to be in the Epstein files.

According to the New Yorker, Donald Trump and his family profited off the presidency by an estimated $4 billion in 2025 — mostly through shady crypto deals.

That amounts to $456,621 per hour.

But how are you doing?

Nearly 30,000 Minnesotans trained as constitutional observers The Immigrant Defense Network works with more than 100 organizations to help train constitutional observers. At the end of November, there were 2,500 trained observers. That number has soared as more ...

A manager for the Immigrant Defense Network told MPR News that back in November, 2,500 people were trained as constitutional observers. Now, the total is nearly 30,000 trained observers in 77 of Minnesota's 87 counties.

happening this morning in Minneapolis -- ICE agents drawing guns on observers. I reiterate again that it is only a matter of time before DHS kills more innocent people in Minnesota. Congress needs to shut this shit down right now.

Remember when CIA Director David Petraeus was forced to resign in 2012 when his extra-marital affair was exposed? It was a national security concern bc it made him susceptible to blackmail. It's amazing how quickly those security expectations disappeared!

To all the Minnesotans who are making their voices heard and protesting peacefully:

The world is watching, and when change comes, it will be because of you.

The winds of public opinion are at our back. We will press this Administration until we see impartial investigations, the departure of federal forces, and an end to this campaign of retribution.

Chris Rufo is so upset about the Minneapolis protests that he is resorting to anti-Nordic racism christopherrufo.com/p/the-curse-...

I sometimes wish the Democratic Party in Congress consisted of any 260 people in the Minneapolis telephone directory rather than the 260 dignitaries now representing us.

Oh our Minneapolis, I hear your voice
Singing through the bloody mist
We’ll take our stand for this land
And the stranger in our midst

‘Rage knitting’ against the machine: the hobbyists putting anti-ICE messages into crafts Makers take a stand through ‘Melt the ICE’ red knit caps and sparkly nails – all while raising funds for those affected by immigration raids

I reached out to the director of Norway’s Resistance Museum, a collection of artifacts selected by surviving members the resistance.

“It is no coincidence that two red knitted caps occupy a central place alongside submachine guns, hand grenades, and radio transmitters.”

‘Rage knitting’ against the machine: the hobbyists putting anti-ICE messages into crafts Makers take a stand through ‘Melt the ICE’ red knit caps and sparkly nails – all while raising funds for those affected by immigration raids

Staff at a Twin Cities yarn store put together a pattern for a red knit “Melt the ICE” hat inspired by the Norwegian resistance.

They thought they would attract 10 people to a weekly knit-along.

They’ve sold 70,000 copies, raising more than $250k for immigrant aid groups.

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good.

Stay free

The investigation is the coverup Trump's "pivot" on Pretti is just a head fake.

"Allowing the crime scene to be contaminated then covering the victim’s weapon with fingerprints will make it much harder to investigate the case, much less prosecute it. But of course federal officials never intended to do either. Indeed, the coverup was underway immediately." — @lizdye.bsky.social

Walz: I think Kristi Noem probably should go back to South Dakota, not have any dogs, and just kind of ride things out

Every social theory undergirding Trumpism has been broken on the steel of Minnesotan resolve. The multiracial community in Minneapolis was supposed to shatter. It did not. It held until Bovino was forced out of the Twin Cities with his long coat between his legs. The secret fear of the morally depraved is that virtue is actually common, and that they’re the ones who are alone. In Minnesota, all of the ideological cornerstones of MAGA have been proved false at once. Minnesotans, not the armed thugs of ICE and the Border Patrol, are brave. Minnesotans have shown that their community is socially cohesive—because of its diversity and not in spite of it. Minnesotans have found and loved one another in a world atomized by social media, where empty men have tried to fill their lonely soul with lies about their own inherent superiority. Minnesotans have preserved everything worthwhile about “Western civilization,” while armed brutes try to tear it down by force.

Last week in Minnesota, I watched ordinary people risk their lives to protect their neighbors. In the process, they not only won a significant—though not final—victory against authoritarianism, they proved virtually every MAGA social theory wrong. (gift link) www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...
