We are in a small community outside Minneapolis and a child arrived to an empty house on Friday. No parents, ice kidnapped them and just leave children to wander alone after school

Trump Using A β€˜Softer Touch’ With ICE In Minnesota? Residents Say Don’t Be Fooled. Two weeks after Alex Pretti’s killing, federal agents have shown no signs of backing down. The resistance definitely hasn't.

NEW: The Trump admin certainly put on a show last week about changing tactics in Minnesota after ICE agents killed Alex Pretti, a 37-year-old VA nurse.

Trump even suggested it's time for "a softer touch."

Except residents say nothing has changed. At all. www.huffpost.com/entry/ice-mi...

Happy Bad Bunny Day! If you’ve never been to Puerto Rico, I cannot recommend it enough. The US is blessed to a mountainous tropical jungle island with life both human and otherwise bursting from every cranny. An extraordinary place, and very close and budget friendly.

No surprise. I’m not planning to buy a firearm, but I do plan to learn how to use one. I’ve only shot any gun a few times and never done training.

I do want to recognize the city council and park board members out there in the streets every day. The more local the seat the more vigorous I think the electeds have been in their community defense.

Right now Minnesota is dealing with a paranoid schizophrenic cultural strain that is waving a gun in our face and screaming about shadows only it can see. The only thing that beats itβ€”and prevents the same madness from grabbing our minds tooβ€”is total obedience to truth no matter the cost.

I know the social media hive mind and international press can only sustain attention on one thing for so long, but the federal assault on Minneapolis is just as vicious as two weeks ago when I was tripping over feature writers.

The spotlight helps us, and the resistance needs to grab it back.

This is why the are already dropping the felony charges against the 22 folks arrested last week. They don't have the goods and no one to do the work to prosecute.

At Least 50 Arrested After Protests Escalate Outside Minnesota Federal Building The Whipple Federal Building has become both a staging ground for immigration agents and a hub for demonstrations against the crackdown in the Twin Cities.

Local authorities declared an unlawful assembly after protests on Saturday escalated near a federal building just outside Minneapolis, leading to at least 50 arrests, the county sheriff’s office said.

In case you’re wondering if whistling and cameras work, today when agents were coming out of Burger King and I was at the door directly in front of them as they walked out they went β€œoh fuck” and quickly pulled up their masks and ran back to their car before driving off.

Bad picture from video I was taking of the scene. At least 4 ICE vehicles with 10+ agents stopped a vehicle in a parking lot. Lots of observers.

2 people were abducted by ICE this am from outside a laundromat a few blocks from today’s Renee Good vigil location at Powderhorn Park. Terrorizing another family & the community before people gather to mourn. Just terrible.
