Tow truck driver offering free service returning abandoned vehicles to families of those abducted by ICE: "For the last three weeks, we have been getting nothing but death threats."

So, incredibly, the White House has chosen to escalate in blue Minnesota and retreat in Maine to protect a vulnerable GOP Senator.
It's confirmation that Trump-Vance-Miller view ICE as a partisan govt-backed militia to attack blue America while propping up their regime. 1/
We’re just not a free country.
Any American watching this play out between regime forces and journalists overseas would recognize it for what it is.
Ope. It’s me.
This absolutely this.
You need to stage something large and loud at the Senate. You have the power to do something.
Shut down the Senate. We need some serious action at the Senate level so not one more Minnesotan is executed by federal agents. SHUT IT DOWN. Defund ICE. Impeach Kristi Noem. Arrest Little Bovino.
Sorry about your weather. Meanwhile, my state is being overrun by ICE that is shooting us in the streets. Get out your snow suit and do something. Anything. Take some sort of meaningful action. DO SOMETHING.
DO SOMETHING Chuck! We are here in Minnesota trying to hold fascism at bay and getting shot dead in the streets. WE NEED YOUR ACTION. No more words.
I’m so sorry, Dimitri.
NYT push alert: "A person was shot dead today during a struggle with federal agents in Minneapolis, according to officials."
By who? Who shot the person dead? You saw the video. We all know a federal agent shot a man dead who was prone on the ground. Also, it's not "according to officials." It's according to verified video seen with your eyes. Not saying what anyone can obviously see with their eyes is a form of lying.
"They killed a man, created chaos, pushed protestors and threw gas indiscriminately, then left the scene."
"Thank god we have video, because according to DHS these seven heroic guys ... it's nonsense and its lies."
I'm about twenty minutes behind the press conference. Q for Walz - "what are Minnesotans to do?" Walz is fucking furious as he speaks. "They ask us for peace and we give it and we get shot in the streets coming out of a donut shop."
Say their names. Trump and Vance. They should be impeached and removed immediately.
I remember watching Bill Kristol in the 90s and disagreeing with him about everything. We haven’t changed. The country changed and it’s time to fight for democracy.
I am trying not to post on these events in this state of mind but: I hope people understand what the observers are doing is brave and dangerous.
From this moment forward (and before, but clearly now):
-If you work for ICE.
-If you vote for money for ICE.
You are complicit. This is the gestapo. You're on the wrong side. You can't pretend not to know.
I just spoke with the White House after another horrific shooting by federal agents this morning. Minnesota has had it. This is sickening.
The President must end this operation. Pull the thousands of violent, untrained officers out of Minnesota. Now.
@velshi.com Where are you? Another person was just murdered by ICE in Minneapolis. Judicial warrants can wait. Get there.
THEY WILL NOT BREAK US
THEY CAN NOT BREAK US
THEY DIDN'T BRING ENOUGH GUYS
FOR EVERY ONE OF US THEY TAKE, ONE HUNDRED MORE TAKE TO THE STREETS
THERE WILL FOREVER BE MORE OF US THAN OF THEM
THEY STAND FOR NOTHING, WE STAND FOR EACH OTHER
THEY WILL REGRET COMING HERE
MINNEAPOLIS WILL WIN
Missing the days when the government wanted to prevent children from getting severe infectious diseases and being kidnapped and removed from their families. Seems like those goals should not be a partisan issue.
"Like many other blue states, Minnesota pays more to the federal government than it takes in. But why should the state continue to subsidize a government bent on destroying it? What if it just…didn’t?"
A big question from @snipy.bsky.social in @atrupar.com's PN:

Dang it.
Flooding Senators & House members with calls is a great idea. TY!
But asking them to “reform” ICE is weak (& in the weeds).
ICE is beyond reform. It must be disbanded & any legitimate functions should be distributed to other agencies.
The message is simple: Prohibit spending on & Abolish ICE.
(over an image of protesters holding signs that read “ICE OUT”) ICE OUT FOR GOOD
Call your senators: indivisible.org/ice-out-sena...
Call your representative: indivisible.org/ice-out-hous...
Every elected official will soon vote on whether to empower Trump to send more secret police forces into our communities. Let’s flood Congress with calls to demand #ICEOutForGood.
Just a reminder that this is one of THE reasons that showing up en masse, and trying to delay ICE and get people's information when they're being detained is so important. If you want to slow the entire operation down, this is probably the best way to do it.
At one point today, there were 283 Minnesota attorneys doing a training on how to file emergency habeas petitions to keep our neighbors from being shipped out of state and held indefinitely.
That would be the second largest law firm in the state. And that training was just put together this week.
21 y/o activist injured by ICE: I will be blind for life. I have fractures in my skull that they can't fix. I can't sneeze or cough because it's dangerous to. I had shards of metal, glass, and plastic behind my eye and in my skull.
This story is not getting enough attention.
Please keep in perspective that the Twin Cities are being overrun to a much larger scale than the other cities were.
