“The first of several students detained by immigration officers...” shouldn’t even be a sentence
Rhetoric didn’t kill Renee Good or Alex Pretti. An unaccountable federal police force did.

Homan says that 2,000+ DHS immigration enforcement agents will be left in Minnesota even after the drawdown he announced this morning
A first step, sure. But there’s usually only 150 in the entire state. This drawdown means there will still be around 2,300 (15x the normal amount) unaccountable federal agents roaming our streets.
ICE detained multiple kids (all under the age of 10!) in the last week alone. Still kidnapping people based solely on the way they look. Still arresting parents at school pick up.
Nothing has changed in Minnesota. Nice words from the Admin won’t change that. ICE leaving will.
Bovino needs to go.
Noem needs to go.
Miller needs to go.
But firing or impeaching any of these people will not unilaterally change what’s happening in Minnesota. That’s why Congress needs to exert some muscle over DHS/ICE funding.

“We need to rip ICE down to the studs and start over,” Senator Tina Smith of Minnesota writes. “In the wake of this catastrophe, there is no reason we can’t come up with a way of enforcing our laws that doesn’t trample on our values and our Constitution.”
People are still being profiled.
People are still being wrongfully detained.
People still can’t go to work or school out of fear.
Do not look away and do not buy any political spin coming out of DHS.
ICE OUT OF MINNESOTA.
Predicting that this week we’ll hear more conciliatory words from the Administration regarding Minnesota (since they’re starting to realize that ICE has become politically toxic) but everyone outside of Minnesota needs to know that nothing on the ground has changed.
Thank you @joaquincastrotx.bsky.social
for bringing Liam back to his friends and families.
He endured more than any 5-year-old ever should. Now more than ever, we need to get ICE out of Minnesota.
ICE needs to be ripped down to the studs. We need to start over and hold this Administration accountable for this mess.
Nothing has changed. Minnesota is still suffering and sending in a new guy to run ICE won’t change that – but Congress can.
The Northland is bitter cold, but our hearts are warm. That’s what makes us great.
Giving a ride to those stranded at the Whipple building after wrongful detainment, bringing coffee to legal observers, delivering groceries to those too scared to leave their homes out of fear of racial profiling, or standing on a street corner holding a sign to let each other know we are not alone.
We have always organized and shown up for each other. It’s in our blood. That’s why nobody should be surprised that so many Minnesotans have volunteered what little free time they have to help one another.
My vote against DHS/ICE funding was for every Minnesotan afraid to leave their house, every Minnesotan who has been unfairly targeted, and every Minnesotan volunteering in freezing temperatures to keep our communities safe.
Minnesotans haven’t given up, and neither will I.
