We've heard from workers at Minnesota's largest companies who want to make it clear that ICE action in MN is causing fear and chaos for them and their customers.

Further, as @northstarpolicy.org found, it's not good for business either!

Two people dead, no accountability, and ICE still running amok. We demand transparency, accountability, and an end to ICE’s chaos and mayhem. 🧵

Not talking to my Trump-voting parents.

This is a feckless, delayed, and disappointing statement from Minnesota’s business leaders.

ICE has been kidnapping and terrorizing their employees and local customers for 6+ weeks. Where’s the leadership?!

We are helping our neighbors.

That's the story of what Twin Cities residents have been doing in the last few weeks. That's it. Full stop.

One thing that might get a little overlooked here is how important it is that DHS is massively exaggerating arrest totals (10k??). What people on the ground know is that immigration enforcement is barely occurring, and ICE/DHS are really conducting a terror campaign in the guise of enforcement.

50,000 Minnesotans marching downtown in subzero weather.

Thousands more patrolling the streets, delivering groceries, and caring for families.

Faith leaders getting arrested by the dozens in acts of civil disobedience.

This is Minnesota. We stand together.

“I have never really warmed to the earnestness of Minnesota politics. Those people, both well-meaning and not, who wrap their identity in “doing the right thing.” It’s always struck me as somewhat performative, egocentric, and unsustainable.”

100% projection by Platt.

Well, it looks like I am only going to know rage for the rest of my life.

This is great news, Josh! You’re the most qualified political nerd in this whole occupied city.

Welcome to Minneapolis. Our neighbors have witnessed too many war crimes at this point. Federal agents even left weapons on the ground.

Bovino says well-organized protesters make ICE operation harder Greg Bovino cited “collusion and corruption” by Twin Cities officials and “anarchists” as reasons Operation Metro Surge has been more difficult than previous operations in other states. "They've got some excellent communications, and that coupled with a very poor response from the mayor and the governor, those two things coupled together make that a difficult operating environment at times."

Keep up the good work, Minneapolis.

Impossible to describe what a raw nerve the rapid response channels are when you’re NOT on patrol. ICE sighted everywhere, all over the neighborhood. Silence and then swarming.

This is not an immigration agency, it is not a law-enforcement agency. It is a state-sponsored terror agency.

I stop to honor the Minnesota First’s great sacrifice for liberty every time I visit the capitol rotunda.

We’re not giving this flag back. Ever.

The bus between my house and downtown has been less than half-full all week.

Regular Minnesotans are doing this because we’re good neighbors and decent people. Not “paid protesters.”

If you’re in the Twin Cities and want to do the most minimal thing to annoy ICE, drive the fucking speed limit. These goons get so angry when 20 is plenty.

What Minnesotans Need to Know Right Now About State & Federal Surveillance What Minnesotans Need to Know Right Now About State & Federal Surveillance Minnesota has built a military-grade surveillance system that now feeds federal enforcement. Here’s what we can do about it...

📣 DID YOU KNOW? 🚁

Ongoing aerial surveillance and "crowd monitoring" by the MN State Patrol in coordination with the MPD is shared directly with federal forces, including DHS & ICE, with no local oversight.

Here's what that means, and what we our state and local officials must do about it NOW.

The US government abducted a Kingfield daycare worker last night. For all us parents trying to explain ICE’s terror campaign to our littles, here’s a start.

Trying to explain what it feels like in the Twin Cities right now to people who aren’t here and haven’t experienced this is genuinely crazy-making.
