Stand With Minnesota Stand With Minnesota is a hub for supporting, learning, and taking action to support Minnesotans impacted by ICE and federal enforcement.

This is a reminder that ICE is still in Minnesota, that people still can’t leave their homes, and that funds are starting to run dry.

Please donate if you can. Places like food shelves are struggling to meet the community’s needs.

ICE is still rampaging in Minnesota. For Native Americans, it’s history repeating itself OPINION: For my tribes, the Dakota and Diné people, seeing federal agents disappear people from their communities isn’t a new crisis. It is a recurring nightmare, Jacqueline Keeler writes.

In my latest article, I write about how ICE raids in Minnesota echo the imprisonment of our ancestors at Fort Snelling, at Bdote, and the execution of the Dakota 38. This isn’t new. The land remembers. So do we. #iceout @sfchronicle.com

Timeline of Efforts to Remove Dr. Driskill from OSU Faculty I created this timeline because I wanted people to be able to learn about the efforts to remove Dr. Driskill from the Oregon State University faculty--a movement that is taking place on multiple...

Inside the resistance with Will Stancil "It's something I could do to keep them from stealing my neighbors."

"ICE guys are pretty miserable. I don’t think morale is particularly high for them. They’re freezing, they’re getting shouted at. They can’t go anywhere without being tailed by 5 cars. They get out and immediately there's a crowd of 100 people shouting at them, blowing whistles as loud as they can."

Rhetoric didn’t kill Renee Good or Alex Pretti. An unaccountable federal police force did.

Fascinating settler infighting. A friend recently told me how much white supremacists hate “race traitors.”

Redditors Are Mounting a Resistance Against ICE A user from r/Minneapolis was among the first to share footage of federal agents shooting Alex Pretti. Following his death, subreddits about football, cats, and embroidery have all rallied against ICE...

I interviewed two of the mods of r/Minneapolis about their tireless work this month: “I just wanted a local subreddit to know what was happening in my city, and now all of a sudden, we’ve turned into this de facto hub of information for basically how to fight fascism.”

The biggest risk in this moment is something sociologists call “symbolic compliance.”

That’s when an institution that is violating civil rights gives the public just enough symbolic victories that accountability efforts lose steam before there has been any meaningful change.

Chris Madel ends GOP bid for governor, says he can’t support federal ‘retribution’ against Minnesota His exit comes as some other Republicans have started to distance themselves from the Trump administration’s immigration crackdown in the state.

Very interesting.

NEW: A Texas county medical examiner found that Geraldo Lunas Campos was choked to death by a guard while he was held in ICE custody earlier this month.

Geraldo is the sixth person to die in ICE detention this year.
