Months of work and millions of dollars raised by thousands of our residents to help keep people in their homes comes down to the signature of one person. We’re calling on Mayor Frey to sign Pause Evictions, Save Lives. This policy temporarily gives residents 30 more days to help prevent evictions.

Even if it takes years, we have to bring EVERYONE who made this happen to justice. No moving on, no letting this go.

Revenge is good enough motivation for me personally, but the nobler and important reason is to ensure that anyone who thinks of doing this again knows they’ll rot in prison for it.

I just dont want the owner of the Lynx and Wolves posing with the administration that murdered two residents of Minneapolis and actively covering up the murder!

Hear directly from Aliya Rahman, who was brutally pulled from her car and assaulted by ICE on her way to a doctor’s appointment, on the importance of extending the pre-eviction notice to 60 days. We are proud to have passed this policy today and are calling on Mayor Frey to sign it immediately.

Paper sign on a light pole with a MN state & fist in the center + text: ITS WORKING. WE ARE WINNING. DON'T GIVE UP NOW. ICE OUT, JUSTICE FOR OUR DEAD!

This is (still) Minneapolis:

It’s day 94 of the ICE occupation of MN.

Today we’re celebrating Jason Chavez, a local hero in the resistance to ICE.

@ilhanmn.bsky.social doing the right thing, as usual. I don't know what the fuck is wrong with the rest of these Dem fools.

A bill with $40 million in rent relief is headed to the Minnesota Senate floor next week. Lead author @lindseyportmn.bsky.social crafted a bill that addresses the urgency of the moment.

Plus, the bill includes my provision to extend pre eviction notices from 14 to 30 days temporarily.

RESIDENTS PRIORITIZED RENT At the outset, a few alarms went off. “The first report was not so great,” Schwartz said. “Collection levels were lower than I expected [at 69.2 percent]. It quickly became alarming info that was flashing across the bottom of the CNN telecast. But it turned out to be more of an aberration because the first day of the month that month fell on a Sunday. [NMHC] adjusted how we defined the rent payment due date and what was considered ‘late’ for renters and the collection percentages improved [to 78.0 percent] from there.” “As we moved along with the survey, the proverbial ‘shoe’ never dropped,” Zrimsek added. “The cliff never came.” For Jay Parsons, vice president, head of economics and industry principal at RealPage, the big surprise in the data was “the resilience of apartment renters. While a small share did indeed struggle and that warrants attention, the good news is the vast majority of renters were able and willing to pay the rent.” “Delinquency could have been much worse with the magnitude of job loss early in the pandemic,” said Laurie Baker, COO at Camden Property Trust.

Landlords benefitted from the enhanced unemployment benefits enacted in the CARES Act, because tenants used it to pay rent, the emergency rental assistance in the ARP, plus the CARES Act loan programs

In the landlords' own words: "the proverbial ‘shoe’ never dropped . . . The cliff never came"

This is something that has always bothered me: landlords always talk about COVID like they were absolutely gutted. But this massive study by a national trade org, which was conducted on a month-to-month basis, shows the industry never took a bath

When you see them at a march or passing policy at City Hall, think about how they’re showing up *on top of* all that they’re doing behind the scenes no one knows about. ICE will have a devastating impact long into the future, but so will the good that they’ve done to keep families together & safe.

Any of the highest profile or tragic cases you’ve read about, I almost guarantee they were involved behind the scenes helping the family & doing so with no agenda and without getting media attention or publicity because they care about nothing other than making sure residents in our City are safe.

It’s impossible to fully capture how much Ivonne & Jason have done. They’ve not only been patrolling their community 24/7 since December, but hundreds of families they don’t even know from all across the city ask them for rent help, translation help, legal help & more and they help them immediately.

Chavez is writing his name in the history books, but more importantly he has become a trusted figure for the underrepresented

Friends from outside Minnesota have asked me if there are celebrations in the street over Noem being fired. To anyone not in MN: no. people are still buying neighbors groceries and collecting for their rent and patrolling. If ice is abolished or trump dies, then mpls will celebrate

After Bovino randomly stopped his convoy to assault a park in Uptown, I remember people on the ground wiping pepper spray out of their faces, someone shouting that there were bullets in the snow, and then the gas clearing and there was Jason Chavez with a big, resolute smile helping people up.

ward 9 and minneapolis as a whole are so lucky to have jason chavez. he has always been a presence in the community, and even moreso now during the ICE siege when he seems to be working nonstop to keep people safe

Reminder that the ICE surge in Chicago - a city five times bigger than Minneapolis - was 300 agents. So this is still unprecedented.

I think what some of us very compassionate people are struggling with is the fact that at our moments of most acute crisis, MPD has shown itself to be pretty useless, despite the piles of money we shovel at them.

Would've been much more satisfying if Chief O'Hara had come to the City Council prepared to say something like "That's my bad, I'm sorry, I should never have said those things. There was never any chance my officers would intervene to stop lawless rampaging by federal agents."

UREGENT AID NEEDED Thanks to that action, Miriam was taken to the ER and doctors diagnosed her with a number of complications. ICE agents were handed her medical results and have not shared those details with her. To this day, she has not received medication or treatment outside of the ER visit, and has not received any prenatal care. Despite dietary recommendations from medical practitioners, ICE has not given her a diet that can support her or her pregnancy. While we have not received an official medical diagnosis, her family and her community believe that this pregnancy is high risk due to the lack of care in the facility, the nutrient-deficient diet she is receiving, and the plain fact of being incarcerated while pregnant. In addition, her daughter Sandra has yet to be seen by a doctor.

UREGENT AID NEEDED Miriam and Sandra's family are asking for financial support. givebutter.com/ bring-pregnant-women-home-from-ice-detention- 22yq6x

Miriam was aggressively thrown to the ground and handcuffed, despite informing ICE agents she was 5 months pregnant.

The inhumane treatment inside of the detention center is one that no pregnant woman should have to endure. 2/

URGENT AID NEEDED PREGNANT MOM & DAUGHTER SUBJECT TO VIOLENT NEGLECT IN ICE FACILITY After witnessing dangerous medical conditions, other women in the facility organized a noise demonstration to call attention to Life-threatening medical negligence. Support is needed NOW.

UREGENT AID NEEDED DONATE NOW We need 15k to cover living expenses for the family who wait their return, cover legal fees for both women, and phone calls from the detention center. givebutter.com/ bring-pregnant-women-home-from-ice-detention- 22yq6x Miriam and Sandra's story in the following slides

UREGENT AID NEEDED On January 22nd Miriam and her 18-year old daughter Sandra were targeted and pulled over by ICE. Miriam and Sandra were forced out of their vehicle at gunpoint. Miriam was aggressively thrown to the ground and handcuffed, despite informing ICE agents she was 5 months pregnant.

UREGENT AID NEEDED Upon arrival at the Whipple building, daughter Sandra was given a pregnancy test and tested positive. Both mother and daughter were sent to Texas. For weeks, Miriam was experiencing severe and abnormal pregnancy symptoms, and frequently requested to see a doctor. It wasn't until she fainted and was visibly in a dangerous state that the other women in the detention center organized a noise demonstration; chanting and pleading for Miriam to receive medical help.

We need your help bringing two pregnant women back home from ICE detention!

Seriously, landlords are business owners. No one guarantees to other business owners that they will never, ever have a bad month or two.

My hot take, coming from working in the nonprofit sector for most of my career, is that you should not be make more at a np than at a commensurate job in the government. The CEO of Mpls Public Housing made $178k in 2020 (most recent year I could find) & MPH manages 6k units, Aeon only manages 4200

Some Minneapolis council members critical of MPD reaction or inaction to ICE agents Police chief Brian O’Hara said he’s mostly pleased with how the department performed during the months-long ICE enforcement surge. However, some council members pushed back on that assessment.

Minneapolis Council Member Aisha Chughtai to Chief Brian O'Hara: “You show up to the scene and you see federal agents pointing their weapons at people, and you don’t feel a duty to protect the residents of this community and instead choose to leave the scene?” (1) www.mprnews.org/story/2026/0...

St. Paul City Council weighs extending eviction notice to 60 days The new requirement would take effect May 14

The state requires landlords to give tenants 14 days notice before filing for eviction. St. Paul City Council had long planned to increase that to 30 days. They're now thinking of temporarily extending it to 60 days, through Dec. 31. www.twincities.com/2026/03/04/s...

minneapolis ward 8 city council member soren stevenson pointed out that sgt mark hanneman's body cam footage in 2020 showed him being shot in the face and losing his eye, pointing out that "there is trauma to go around" - it's not just MPD needing wellness and healing
