As Operation Metro Surge recedes, concern grows over tactics of Twin Cities bounty hunters There are no licenses needed to become a bounty hunter in Minnesota, an issue that is raising concerns after highly public actions by bounty hunters in the Twin Cities this week.

Outside Minneapolis City Hall, two protesters blocked a van labeled with “Midwest Plumbing” decals advertising a disconnected phone number. The driver pointed a pistol at them. One of the armed men shot pepperballs into the crowd.

The men weren’t federal agents. They were bounty hunters.

U.S. Sen. Klobuchar: Federal agents in Minnesota near 'original footprint,' contradicting Noem's claim U.S. Sen. Amy Klobuchar spoke with MPR News host Clay Masters about her reaction to Noem leaving the post.

U.S. Sen. Amy Klobuchar says she was told by a top White House official that federal immigration agents are at or near their “original footprint” in Minnesota, contradicting a claim from the departing Homeland Security secretary.

Stupid quote. Reality is much stranger and beautiful:

People sleep peacefully in their beds at night only because we have created a vast psychic weave of intangible concepts like Money, Morality, God, and Government that we all mostly agree to enough for it all to hum along.

Good.

Noem egged ICE on as they arrested innocent children, violated Minnesotans’ rights, and harassed entire communities. She smeared Renee Good and Alex Pretti. I’m glad she’s going but the problem isn’t going away with her. My eye is still on the ball and I’m going to keep fighting for justice.

Kristi Noem has done a stunning amount of damage and it’s good she’s gone.

But this doesn’t change the fact that we need a complete overhaul of DHS, impartial investigations into the killings of two American citizens, and information on children that were taken from Minnesota.

Let me be clear: I’m glad Kristi Noem was fired. But we still have to abolish ICE.

When Trump imposed his illegal tariffs and raised costs for families across Minnesota, I sued him and won at the Supreme Court.

Yet again, I have no choice but to take him to court to uphold the rule of law and protect Minnesotans’ pocketbooks from the damage his tariffs will cause.

Brooklyn Park man 'lured' outside his home by ICE agents deported to Mexico A Brooklyn Park man who was detained by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents last month has been deported to Mexico.

The man was detained last month after two women, who were ICE agents, knocked on the man’s door to ask for help with their car. The man, who is an auto mechanic, was surrounded by agents after he left his home to offer assistance.

These cuts are the latest in a long series of efforts to punish Minnesotans — but just as we fought back and won when they illegally tried to cut funding for childcare, hungry families, and our schools, we are suing them again today to make them follow the law.

Outrage, fear, hope: Minnesotans share varied reactions to U.S. attack on Iran People gathered in Minneapolis Saturday for a demonstration led by the Minnesota Peace Action Coalition to protest U.S. and Israeli military strikes on Iran.

“We've seen our own community members gunned down," said Lina Jebara, an organizer with the U.S. Palestinian Community Network. “To say that we have to bomb Iran because they're cracking down on protesters when our administration is doing the same thing is just incredibly hypocritical.”

Israeli strikes rock Tehran as Iran's counterattacks widen after the killing of its supreme leader An explosion rocked Iran’s capital as Israel said it would carry out “non-stop strikes” against its leaders and military.

The U.S. military said three service members have been killed and five others seriously wounded since the operations began. They are the first known American casualties from the fighting.

I went to an anti-war protest in Minneapolis this afternoon. There were over a hundred people on the corner of Lake and Chicago. These clips were filmed by me.

OCASIO-CORTEZ STATEMENT ON TRUMP'S COMBAT OPERATIONS IN IRAN "The American people are once again dragged into a war they did not want by a president who does not care about the long-term consequences of his actions. This war is unlawful. It is unnecessary. And it will be catastrophic. "Just this week, Iran and the United States were negotiating key measures that could have staved off war. The President walked away from these discussions and chose war instead.President Trump flippantly acknowledged the possibility of American casualties, stating "that often happens in war.' "Mr. President: this was not an inevitability. This is a deliberate choice of aggression when diplomacy and security were within reach. Stop lying to the American people. "Violence begets violence. We learned this lesson in Iraq. We learned this lesson in Afghanistan. And we are about to learn it again in Iran. Bombs have yet to create enduring democracies in the region and this will be no different. "In moments of war, our Constitution is unambiguous: Congress authorizes war. The President does not. I will do my part to uphold our Constitution by voting YES on Representatives Ro Khanna and Thomas Massie's War Powers Resolution. Every member of Congress must join us in rejecting this aimless war.

My statement on President Trump’s combat operations in Iran⬇️

Today’s military strikes on Iran — carried out by the United States and Israel — mark a catastrophic escalation in an illegal war of aggression. Bombing cities. Killing civilians. Opening a new theater of war.

It's not yet clear if this will be a limited strike that's over in a few days (like Venezuela), or the start of a decades long occupation (like Afghanistan). Either way, it is illegal and reprehensible, and I'll be protesting tonight.

Trump launched another major military operation against a foreign government last night, without any kind of congressional authorization or constitutional justification.
