The first bill out of the Trump administration was the Laken Riley Act. Only one Minnesota Democrat voted to support it.

Since then, the president has used it to separate families and detain thousands of people without due process. Nothing can undo the damage that has been done.

The same day DHS announced the surge would end in Minnesota, ICE activity increased in small towns The less densely populated areas outside the Twin Cities make it harder for protesters and observers to organize.

"It’s not hard to see why ICE has expanded its reach beyond the Twin Cities. The qualities that have hindered ICE’s operation in Minneapolis and St. Paul — density and walkability; a large, almost exclusively left-of-center population — are absent here."

right wingers have been very mad at rep brad tabke for openly helping ICE resistance and everything they share just makes him look cool as hell

and don’t forget he won this seat by only 14 votes!

Ending this operation is not enough.

We need justice and accountability. That starts with independent investigations into the murders of Renee Good and Alex Pretti, economic restitution for businesses impacted, abolishing ICE, and the impeachment of Kristi Noem.

Twin Cities health care workers describe 'fear,' 'intimidation' due to ICE in hospitals Health care workers are experiencing fear and anxiety about going to work with ICE agents present in hospitals and clinics.

For health care workers, going to work means an onslaught of fear and anxiety with ICE agents present.

“What will happen to us?" one health care worker said. "That is my question every single night before going to bed. It really affects me mentally and emotionally. This is like a nightmare.”

They crush the local economy, deplete city budgets, illegally withhold congressionally allocated funds. In exchange we get masked Texans running wild in the streets, paid for with tax money that was supposed to be used on our healthcare. Thank you to our federal partners.

AI image of Alex Pretti’s killing is the latest altered photo amid ICE surge in Minneapolis Look closely, slow down, think critically before believing what you see on the internet, experts caution.

AI-enhanced and manipulated images are a new obstacle in the court of public opinion. Their proliferation online is eroding trust and inflaming divisions.

Abolish ICE is now the moderate minimum position,

Prosecute ICE is where Dems should be at next.

ICE executed another person in our City this morning on video. The video shows to me multiple agents beating on someone already on the ground and then these masked thugs decide to shoot multiple shots into someone who is already defenseless. Another murder in Minneapolis at the hands of the federal government. ICE needs to leave our City, and then be abolished immediately.

Using fencing to curb homelessness in the Twin Cities is an insult - MinnPost Agencies and governments turn to fencing instead of actual solutions for problems related to people experiencing homelessness.

I wrote about the should-be-illegal trend of fencing off sidewalks because poor people are nearby. www.minnpost.com/cityscape/20...
