This is somewhat more of an old-fashioned ICE ruse. Arguably this is a sign of the agency going back to more standard โ€œtargeted enforcementโ€ tactics designed to be not as disruptive as the more recent aggro-style arrests. Watch for more like this to come.

Why would he do that? Iโ€™m not questioning you, Iโ€™m really wondering what his reason is for discouraging mutual aid then go on tee vee and advocate for it.

ICE kidnapped a neighbor in Phillips today along with others in MN. They are still the same rogue, abhorrent, & illegitimate organization meant to terrorize & separate families.

As I said yesterday, I am still asking the community to remain cautious & vigilant. We still need help.

All ICE did was move to smaller towns. I'll feel bad for Minnesotans if you become their governor. You PLANNED Trumps inaguration and happily rode in the limo and bragged about it!

Police departments across the US are quietly leveraging school district security cameras to assist Donald Trumpโ€™s mass immigration enforcement campaign, an investigation by @the74.bsky.social reveals.

The same day DHS announced the surge would end in Minnesota, ICE activity increased in small towns The less densely populated areas outside the Twin Cities make it harder for protesters and observers to organize.

"Itโ€™s not hard to see why ICE has expanded its reach beyond the Twin Cities. The qualities that have hindered ICEโ€™s operation in Minneapolis and St. Paul โ€” density and walkability; a large, almost exclusively left-of-center population โ€” are absent here."

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."

Idaho families sue over immigration raid that swept up hundreds, including U.S. citizens โ€” NBC News About 400 people, including children and U.S. citizens, were detained for four hours while they were denied food and water in the raid, according to the lawsuit.

More than 400 people, including hundreds of citizens, were โ€œsortedโ€ at gun point into racial and ethnic groups by 200 ICE agents who fired flash-bang grenades into cars with people inside, pointed guns at children & demanded their zip tied parents not comfort them. apple.news/Ausdx6kWtT0e...

Occupy Democrats is a fake news/clickbait operation run by twin Floridian brothers who've also run a fraudulent enterprise that was shut down by the federal government. And no I don't mean the Krassensteins. It's a different set of guys

itโ€™s so helpful to have these widely available videos of government telling people what might happen and why, and then to enlisting them in the shared project of governance.

What else would I say as an educator, of course, but civic education is so fundamental to democracy and in such short supply

Notice how the popular media narrative has moved on, while people on the ground in Minneapolis are still struggling and crying out that things are as bad as ever. This is how fascist regimes operate โ€” overreach, recalibration, normalization. Get louder, not quieter.

Sometimes very hard not to feel like the rest of the country has abandoned Minnesota. We STILL have ICE everywhere. Our schools, businesses, and economy are in profound crisis. But without Bovino here throwing tear gas, much of the country seems to not care at all whatโ€™s being done to us.
