Minneapolis Spring

HOW IT WORKS: Community defenders stop an out of state vehicle at the filter blockade, run the plate through a database, and confirm whether the vehicle is affiliated with abductors before letting it through.

Energy is warm and joyous, blockade day two. Come join.

Extremely cool

These blockades are a beautiful experiment in improvised community defense. They are easy to start with just a couple friends, and whatever you have lying around.

Let's make the Twin Cities impassible to ICE and all supporting forces.

"What would it take to begin coming together across the entire Twin Cities, establishing filter blockades to secure community control over zones or neighborhoods?"

Rapid Responders are taking two intersections today. Come to Cedar on 32nd or 34th. Community power spreads.

A community BLOCK PARTY happening today at 25th st. and 12th ave.

1pm on. Bring signs, firewood, materials, and most importantly, your neighbors.

See you out there.

HAPPENING NOW

At the intersection of Cedar Avenue and 32nd St, another blockade is up to help keep ICE OUT of our communities!

Bring signs, firewood, and materials to help hold the intersection and impede ICE operations as much as possible.

Words of wisdom about the collusion between ICE and local police from a community member at the 34th and Central blockade.

A separate "block party" style blockade has popped up in a different part of town from the filter blockade at 34th and Cedar. People dancing, kids playing soccer, having fun while defending the neighborhood against ICE.

MPD wants to "work with us". Our response? "Police, ICE, same shit."

As MPD shows up and tries to claim separation from ICE, people in the crowd roundly reject them. The "fuckaroundandfindout-about" is still going strong!

Barely any coverage of this new tactic because of all the informational chaff caused by either regime lies about drawdown or Welp Pencil’s ideas about operational security.

minneapolis police are blocking the intersection of 34th and cedar. rapid responders have established a filter blockade which allows all vehicles to pass except for ICE. local police are now working with ICE to shut down the neighborhood.

minneapolis pd has arrived at the filter blockade 34th and cedar

abolishing ICE is not only a legislative event. it is a concrete practice.

see with your heart

It would be amazing to see this spread everywhere. We need to make it so ICE can't pass through our neighborhoods.

NO COMPROMISE

city buses and neighbors easily passing the filter blockade. police cars stopping and turning around. it's as simple as that.

simple methods, plain words

Twin Cities rapid responders have set up a "filter blockade" at 34th and Cedar and are calling for volunteers and donations. This is a new tactic developing over the last week: community is allowed to pass, but ICE agents are stopped/slowed before they can terrorize our neighbors.

Maria Santay, a U.S. citizen and community observer, live-streamed masked ICE agents detaining her after they boxed in her car from all sides and smashed her window. Local police showed up and did nothing.

She was denied access to a restroom, and forced to pee in the parking lot while handcuffed.

Twin Cities: We must keep our foot on the pedal!
