This is the aftermath of an ICE kidnapping a few blocks from my home in St. Paul—an hour ago. A quiet street full of broken glass and at least three wrecked cars. The target of the kidnapping was taken away by ambulance. He was on a stretcher and covered by a sheet, though a cop said he was alive.

Minneapolis man says ICE agents took 'trophy' photos, locked him in overcrowded cell Garrison Gibson, a Minneapolis man from Liberia, shared details of his experience with federal immigration enforcement this week at a press conference Saturday.

Inside the detention center, Gibson said officers put him in a bare, metal holding cell about the size of a small conference room with around 40 other detainees. Their legs were shackled. Gibson said one person in the cell appeared to have scabies.

Dangerous talk. The folks of Minnesota are not insurrectionists. We are neighbors wielding whistles to protect our neighbors from unconstitutional violence by masked men.

Opinion | The Resistance Libs Were Right

“On the last page of “The Anatomy of Fascism,” Paxton offers a warning. “We know from tracing its path that fascism does not require a spectacular ‘march’ on some capital to take root,” he writes. “Seemingly anodyne decisions to tolerate lawless treatment of national ‘enemies’ is enough.” Gift link.

Today, I joined with @mayorjacobfrey.bsky.social & Mayor Her to announce a joint lawsuit to end the unlawful and unprecedented surge of ICE agents in Minnesota.

People are being racially profiled, harassed, terrorized, and assaulted.

It has to stop.

Why was there no coverage of yesterday’s marches (especially the enormous Powderhorn march) and demonstrations in the @startribune.com ? Just photos on social media. No story. WaPo covered it more! And where are the Strib stories of the ICE abductions and illegal actions we have been witnessing?
