ICE detains reporter Estefany Rodríguez in Nashville - Nashville Banner Reporter Estefany Rodríguez, detained by ICE with no arrest warrant, may face deportation. Her attorneys seek immediate review of the legality of her case.

ICE has arrested and detained a Nashville journalist who reported stories critical of ICE. She’s married to a U.S. citizen and has been seeking asylum here after fleeing death threats in Colombia because of her journalism there.

They’ve already sent her to Louisiana.

Angie Craig: I regret my vote on the Laken Riley Act That regret has "only strengthened my resolve to stand up to the Trump administration’s cruel immigration policies, call out my spineless Republican colleagues and impeach Homeland Security Secretary ...

it’s way too late for angie craig to FINALLY admit she regrets voting for the laken riley act. being unable to recognize it as harmful at the time & only changing her mind after the terror her vote helped bring to minnesota isn’t good enough. the damage was done

When Putin needed pretext for creating "The Red Web", Russia's authoritarian system of online censorship that effectively bans LGBTQ speech, he did it through the EXACT same moral panic about social media and kids that liberals and many leftists are spreading today.

Put ICE agents on the front lines. They are already in costume.

Sheriff Witt and Hennepin County are not just collaborators with ICE, they act as their personal goons, shielding them from non-violent protestors and dildoes alike.

These monsters do not work for the people and Sheriff Witt must not be re-elected this November.

I went through and added up the total paid rents through our adopt-a-rent program, and it is 329 families for $463,217. All peer-to-peer, no fundraising. Just neighbors helping each other out.

If you want to adopt a family, and can afford to give $500 or more, signal me at asiniiwiikwe.72

An earlier post and video were deleted by me because I incorrectly identified a Sheriff’s deputy as a State Trooper.

about 30 people were arrested at whipple this morning for unlawful assembly, and many first hand reports say hennepin county sheriff's office were escalating. people were arrested when they were retreating, and people were knocked down by law enforcement

Yep. State Troopers were doing the same shit too.

State and local police attacked civilians Sunday during a protest at the Bishop Henry Whipple Federal Building in Minnesota. The building has served as the headquarters for ICE in the region. Police repeatedly charged into the peaceful crowd.

We were literally watching our community provide a ceremony at the Whipple building.

Hennepin County Sheriff’s then began to escalate tensions. This was disrespectful to our community, our culture, and our ancestors.

This created fear and was an attack on our right to peacefully assemble.

Well that was fucking weird. Big protest at the Bishop Henry Whipple Federal Building. Multiple arrests with state troopers talking shit to protestors. There was also a contingent of conservation officers that looked like absolute shit bags.
