A few selected games on Tubi, but otherwise you need to shell out for streaming cable. Just lit $82 on fire to watch the games. Hoping it’ll be more rewarding than Twins season.

Minnesota is mourning the loss of Sergeant First Class Nicole M. Amor of White Bear Lake who was killed in Kuwait on Sunday.

She answered the call to serve and gave her life in service to our state and nation. Minnesotans are wrapping our arms around her loved ones.

ICE surged in Minnesota to arrest criminals. Many of them were already in jail. An analysis of the Trump administration’s “worst of the worst” list shows about half of the immigrants detained were not taken off the streets.

About half of the people Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) took credit for detaining in Minnesota, who are featured on a Trump administration website titled “worst of the worst,” were already in federal, state or county custody or had recently been released.

Wolves push the pace, show playoff readiness in win over Nuggets In a consequential contest, the Wolves christened the crucial month of March with alacrity.

Wolves' playoff prospects are getting a lift from role players and a rejuvenated bench, adding versatility on offense and defense. The latest from @brittrobson.bsky.social for MinnPost:

If anyone has a spare ticket to Flock of Dimes in St. Paul on April 19, please let me know!

Minnesota suburbs see ‘stealthier’ tactics as ICE stays active Minnesota residents and lawmakers say the promised drawdown has not materialized, and they are seeing ICE use more covert tactics to continue operations across Twin Cities suburbs.

DFLers are on the offensive as the Legislature returns - MinnPost GOP leaders seek a bonding bill. Democrats want that too, plus an assault weapons ban and immigration enforcement reform.

“We don’t have to pick and choose," says @zackstephenson.bsky.social. "We can pursue the total package.” DFL starts session with ambitious agenda, @rlyrealmattblake.bsky.social reports.

WCCO looks at one day's worth of petitions for release filed by those arrested during ICE surge. Majority with no criminal record. People were picked up on the way to get prescriptions, going to work, and showing up for scheduled immigration check ins.

"Deux morts, des milliers de personnes arrêtées, deux villes ébranlées et Donald Trump défait. Ainsi s’achève l’opération anti-immigration « Metro surge », conduite par l’Etat fédéral dans les « twin cities », les villes jumelles de Minneapolis et Saint Paul, depuis début décembre. Tom Homan, le « tsar des frontières » de la Maison Blanche, a annoncé jeudi 12 février le retrait prochain des troupes de l’ICE (Immigration and customs enforcement, la police de l’immigration) et de la CBP (Customs and border protection, l’équivalent des douanes)."

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."

The Pioneer Press included this super important paragraph in its coverage of this incident. Even if he did have a record it doesn’t justify the recklessness, but most likely he was just undocumented.

This is the second account - the first being in Chicago - of DHS agents mass detaining people and then *sorting them by race*.

Yuen: Even if ICE left tomorrow, the damage to kids is already done “They’re all suffering,” says one Minnesota immigrant dad who has been sheltering in place with his children.

Stories about what ICE's presence in Minnesota has done to kids — something I'm seeing firsthand — are hard to read. It's unfathomable that kids have to go through this. www.startribune.com/ice-children...

I need you all to watch this. If this isn’t the most Minnesota ass thing on the planet i don’t know what is

Government Loses Hard Drives It Was Supposed to Put ICE Detention Center Footage On A Kafkaesque saga in which the government has failed to produce critical video footage has reached new levels of absurdity.

Court battle over surveillance footage at the Broadview ICE detention center reaches new levels of kafkaesque absurdity: The DOJ claimed it *couldn't afford* hard drives to put video footage on. Plaintiffs bought THE US GOVERNMENT hard drives. ICE "lost" them.

“Uptick In Abductions”: ICE Ramps Up Targeting of Minneapolis Legal Observers In one 30-minute stretch, three Minneapolis legal observers were arrested as ICE ramped up its targeting of community volunteers.

In one 30-minute stretch, three legal observers were arrested — as Trump’s Border czar Tom Homan calls on locals to “end the resistance.”

This is 18-mo-old Amalia waving to me when she was detained.

She was hospitalized with a respiratory infection while at ICE’s Dilley facility for immigrant families.

She’s one of dozens of detainees who I spoke to via video and phone calls, letters and an in-person visit. 🧵1/

1/ ProPublica collected handwritten letters in mid-January from children held at the Dilley Immigration Processing Center, the same facility where 5-year-old Liam Conejo Ramos was taken.

Hundreds of kids are still detained.

We’ll let the children’s words speak for themselves. 🧵

Even with the so-called "drawdown," many Minneapolis area activists say little has changed since hundreds of agents left and they're preparing for prolonged resistance. The anxiety remains palpable after two fatal shootings of US Citizens by federal agents in January. https://cnn.it/4rAFZ34

Tayler Mitchell said he was pepper sprayed by Jake Lang as the Jan. 6 rioter drove by the crowd of anti-ICE protesters outside the Whipple Federal Building in a U-Haul.

There was so much ICE activity today. A group of agents spent the whole morning inside Jimmy’s Bar and then ended up driving erratically all throughout the Holland & Como neighborhoods, eventually trying to park at the 2nd precinct police station.

Hey #NEmpls, the people at El Paraiso on 29th & Central are super nice and make delicious food. Deli/restaurant is open Mondays and Fridays right now (normally open daily but limited due to ICE occupation)

The same day that Jesus Ochoa and Raymundo Gutierrez killed Alex Pretti, a northeast neighbor was severely injured by a flash bang grenade in South Minneapolis. His jaw was shattered.

Fully lethal, “less lethal.” Doesn’t matter. Abolish ICE

Is it because economic anxiety?

I live in Minnesota and I care about mental health.

Here's what's happening now because of ICE:

- Lots of people who never struggled with depression and anxiety disorders are now.

- People already dealing with severe mental illness are at much higher risk of suicide or disappearing from care.

ICE surge news: Minneapolis Public Schools has extended *optional* distance learning until April 6.

Faculty, students push University of Minnesota to denounce ICE and killing of alumnus Alex Pretti It illustrates the complex balancing act for colleges and universities in responding to ICE actions.

“It seems our university leaders cannot even say that it is wrong to murder a former student in broad daylight because some people might disagree,” geography professor Kate Derickson
