Towing business returning cars abandoned by arrested immigrants to their families for free (01:55) Twin Cities News Twin Cities tow truck driver returns abandoned vehicles to families after ICE arrests ©CBS NEWS MINNESOTA •By Ray Campos February 5, 2026 / 7:25 PM CST / CBS Minnesota # Add CBS News on Google Juan Leon had only been running his Twin Cities tow truck business, Leo's Towing, for a few months when he noticed a pattern that kept repeating itself. Cars were being left behind across the metro area - parked on streets, in parking lots, sometimes for days at a time. The owners were gone, and in many cases, they had been arrested by the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement.

Wishing blessings upon blessings to Juan Leon, the owner of Leo's Towing.

The tow truck company has been returning abandoned vehicles to families for free after ICE arrests, despite death threats.

Not all heroes wear capes.

And the fact that I need to check to see on behalf of who, is what is terrifying.

The people, united, will never be defeated. ✊

In Minnesota, the Fight Against ICE Is Also the Fight Against Authoritarianism The community is pulling together. It has been eye-opening.

Life on the ground in St. Paul right now, from Council Member @mollycoleman.bsky.social—including a dispatch from "day care patrol," now a feature of everyday life, when parents try to stop ICE agents from kidnapping toddlers and teachers.

The people of Minnesota have executed one of the most impressive civil resistance campaigns I can remember:

- Organized a city wide general strike
- Maintained nonviolent discipline amidst violence
- Mobilized 10,000s in subzero temps to protest and watch ICE
- Flipped public opinion against ICE

Ah, off-cycle election night. Time to start obsessively following the returns for a faraway candidate I just learned about an hour ago.

This is also true in MN. I work in hhs and can confirm this.

Queue abortion rights, gender affirming surgery, and more..coming soon to the great state of Florida. Is that how it works?

If you already are a borrower, the limits that go into effect next summer won't apply to you. If you haven't already, get a grad plus loan for this 25-26 school year and you will be grandfathered in. This is the only way I will be able to finish my DrPH.. please don't give up.

And all those kids at camp.

Had to share... why Tom, why???

This is my hometown, where I spent more than half my life, and when I tell you how hard working these people are and how important this geographical area is to our entire agricultural system, I cannot overstate either of those things. This is cruel and unnecessary. I can't believe we are here.

Maybe he was, I don't know, tired?

Wait until they find out Africa isn't a country, but a continent AND includes 54 countries. Or that Asia is also a continent with 48 countries (which includes India and countries in the Middle East).

Lots of people fit into these categories that we are forced to check on applications.

I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE.

This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined.

It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.

Same.

Does it grab you by the pussy if you get close to it? Or does that cost extra?

So gross.

What infuriates me so much about this new operation is that it is literally punishing people for following the rules and showing up to their court hearings. It is so toxic to the basic concept of following the rules.

It is an operation designed by people who hate the concept of the rule of law.

F.D.A. Approves First At-Home Alternative to the Pap Smear

Breaking: The FDA has approved a vaginal swab that will allow people to screen for HPV — which causes almost all cases of cervical cancer — at home instead of getting a Pap smear, which can be painful and/or traumatic for many

Gotta love legacy media innocently dropping the term "rawdogging" into a discussion on the conclave because they, apparently, aren't aware of its origin.

Ok, this matches the footage of separate parts falling into the water, vs. it crashing 'into' the water. But what causes a helicopter to....break into three parts midair?
