This is a U.S. citizen. No criminal record. No search warrant. No excuse. Unabashed cruelty & indiscriminate violence is ICE’s point & purpose.

ICE arrests elderly, underdressed Hmong-American man inside his St. Paul home over mistaken identity, family says

In an online fundraiser, family says ICE agents broke down the door, entered with weapons drawn and handcuffed the man inside his home without showing a warrant.

ICE agents are now racially profiling and harassing *off duty police officers* in Minnesota and demanding their papers.

This is another senseless tragedy. ICE has an obligation to keep detainees safe. We need a complete and impartial investigation of what is happening in these detention centers.

“Fourth graders spent the week building walls of snow at recess to protect their classmates from ICE” is a sentence that shouldn’t exist.

My daughter's school in Richfield, MN (adjacent to Minneapolis) is closing tomorrow due of out-of-control federal agents. Fourth graders spent the week building walls of snow at recess to protect their classmates from ICE. This isn't about immigration enforcement, it's about terror.

ICE agents eat at small-town Mexican restaurant — then arrest workers
Federal agents detained three workers from a family-owned Mexican restaurant in Willmar yesterday, hours after four agents ate lunch there.

It was not immediately clear what the immigration status of those detained was, or whether the people detained included the restaurant’s owners or only workers.

An eyewitness who declined to give a name for fear of retribution, told the Minnesota Star Tribune that four ICE agents sat in a booth for a meal at El Tapatio a little before 3 p.m. Staff at the restaurant were frightened, said the eyewitness, who shared pictures from the restaurant as well as video of the arrest.

The arrest happened around 8:30 p.m. near a Lutheran church and Willmar Middle School as agents followed the workers after they closed up for the night. A handful of bystanders blew whistles and shouted at agents as they detained the people. “Would your mama be proud of you right now?” one of the bystanders asked.

One of the stories that makes me the saddest out of this ICE invasion is one out of the Minnesota Star Tribune today about ICE agents eating at a little Mexican restaurant in the small town of Willmar, Minn, —and then, when they were done, arresting some of the workers.

A federal judge has prohibited federal immigration agents in Minnesota from arresting, detaining, retaliating against or using force and chemical irritants against peaceful protesters and observers.

Federal judge bars ICE agents from ‘retaliating’ against protesters in Minnesota

The injunction filed Jan. 16 follows a lawsuit brought by six Minnesota residents during the early days of Operation Metro Surge last month.

Well-trained law enforcement would de-escalate. Their first instinct should NOT be “shoot first and ask questions later.”

Your agents killed one of our citizens in broad daylight.

Secretary Kristi Noem @Sec_Noem

For years, these corrupt, activist politicians have refused to protect Minnesotans and are now proposing illegal actions to keep their stranglehold on control and continue stealing from American citizens.
We will root out this rampant fraud, we will arrest the criminal illegal aliens hurting Americans with impunity, and we will hold those who aid and abetted this criminality accountable.

New - Murphy, Schiff, Smith and Warren urge their Democratic colleagues to adopt populist platform “Our party’s anemic response to the rigging of our democracy and economy in favor of the ultra-wealthy has eroded our credibility with working people" www.semafor.com/article/01/1...

Exclusive: Progressive Democrats urge party to go populist in midterms

The senators used polling from both Democratic-aligned and GOP-aligned groups to argue that “bland policy proposals” won’t work.

ICE approaching a teenage girl and U.S. CITIZEN on her way to soccer practice and snooping around her car with giant guns is not making us safer. All it does is terrorize our kids.

So much admiration for leaders like Zaynab Mohamed. She somehow finds a way to bring optimism during such dark times.

A young lawmaker comes of age in Minneapolis, a city that keeps grieving

State Sen. Zaynab Mohamed’s life and career have been shaped by George Floyd’s death, school shootings, a political assassination and a deadly ICE crackdown.

Just one day after Renee Good was gunned down by ICE in Minneapolis, federal agents under Trump have shot more people, this time in my neighborhood. I am furious.

All they have to do is tell Bondi and Patel to let it happen. Takes one phone call. We all saw the videos with our own eyes. We all know their narrative isn’t true, no matter how much they want it to be.

Tina Smith@smith.senate.govJan 8(source)

If Trump and Vance were truly confident in their (false) narrative around the ICE killing in Minneapolis, they’d allow a joint investigation with state law enforcement.
