peggy flanagan’s campaign manager on twitter reporting that angie craig is down 13 points in the minnesota senate primary with 75% of voters saying that her vote for the laken riley act is disqualifying, which would certainly explain her suddenly apologizing for it just days after standing by it

As a Minnesotan in rural Ohio I feel actually insane right now. Everything is completely business as usual in my physical life and telling sympathetic friends and coworkers what’s happening at home is like a fever dream

We have no functional national media in the way many people still think we do, so the more regular folks we can show this stuff to, the better. Make sure your friends, family, co-workers, REALLY see what’s going on. If you still have personal Facebook, blast it with these videos. Make it inescapable

The U.S. tried to acquire information about Danish military installations on Greenland last year, going outside traditional channels & raising fears of an invasion. The 1500 strong 11th Airborne in Alaska now being readied for deployment—supposedly in Minnesota—are nicknamed the “Arctic Angels.”

Minneapolis and Saint Paul have basically mobilized into a war economy of mutual aid and non-violent defense. I’ve never seen anything like it, even during Covid. People who barely vote are guarding their schools from ICE and doing the shopping for neighbors in hiding.

I was held face down tear gas deployed right in front of me and pepper sprayed directly into the eye.

if i could give one broad direction to people: stop being afraid of doing something. take some initiative. find a group near you. pick up the boxes that need hauling. bring food. take out the trash. see a need that is unmet? get some friends together and do the thing. organize your niche.

They're snatching people at gas pumps. Today while I was dispatching, I saw 3 people get snatched at gas pumps in under 3 minutes. Not nearly enough time for ICE to know they have the right person. Or who they have.
They just jump out of cars, grab people, and drive off. The cars are left like some kind of Left Behind style nightmare.
The bystanders are left to find and alert the family, move the car, and get resources to everyone. THE BYSTANDERS
Imagine.. you get a knock on the door from a stranger to tell you they witnessed your partner be snatched up at a gas pump by a man in a mask driving an SUV with no plates and blacked out windows. They have the keys to your partner's car and a hotline number you can call. There is no database for people picked up by ICE, so there's no way to know who has your partner, where they are, or what they did. If they are a citizen doesn't really matter. They're just gone and there's very very little information about how to get them back.
I am watching this in real time. This is not second hand information. It's not untrue or Al. This is what's happening right now.They're snatching people at gas pumps.

NorthfieldIce is now right outside of DIW & the Midtown Global
Market.
*headed towards Bloomington Ave. I heard they're setting up check points. I'm not sure of where but be cautious in the area!Late last night, ICE agents stormed into HCMC past hospital staff security. They refused to leave on orders of staff, security, hospital general counsel, and all 7 county commissioners, even with half the elected officials in Minneapolis personally on site.
MPD refused to trespass ICE from HCMC. The word is that can only come from Chief O'Hara. Who answers directly to

Ice is currently raiding Capital Hill Elementary School (St.Paul) One of my employees daughter is a school teacher there. There literally hiding people as ice is forcibly taking people. It was reported that ice didnt care if people had proper documents proving citizendhip. Ice is dressed in civilian clothes. One employee here where I work was just activated (national guard). The national guard is going in to protect and try to control the situation. This is literally government fighting against government. Feels like l'm in Natze Germany. I fear this will be a blood bath before it's over."Under a bridge near Little Earth, agents detained four Native American men, all citizens of the Oglala Sioux Tribe, according to tribal President Frank Star Comes Out. At least one of the men has been freed after a 12-hour hold, but the community is unaware of his whereabouts, a community advocate from Homeward Bound, a southside homeless advocacy center, told ICT on Friday...I have been getting lots of calls about ICE activity in the Brooklyns. To confirm:
1. Yes: ICE is out heavy in the Brooklyns and NWS This week,

if you want to know what it is like in minneapolis, I don’t even have to scroll on facebook to find a horror story. it’s basically my whole feed. everyone i know in minneapolis is seeing ICE take people—at gas stations, taquerias, bus stops, schools. just snatching random people.
#ICE is LITERALLY in every corner of the Twin Cities right now. In case you don't know, here are the areas with the confirmed sightings as of 1/9/26 at 11:00pm:
- Apple Valley/Burnsville/Eagan
- Richfield/Bloomington
- Midway/Frogtown
- Como/Dale
- East side/Maplewood
- North Minneapolis
- Shoreview Arden Hills
- Blaine
- Columbia Heights
- Shakopee/Prior Lake
- Inver Grove Heights
- West St. Paul
- South Saint Paul
- Lakeville
- Brooklyn Park/Brooklyn Center
PLEASE stay safe! They are detaining and harassing US citizens so if you can help it, STAY HOME!ICE is currently raiding an apartment complex near my home in Savage. Lots of children screaming. This is completely unnecessary. I'm certain these people being terrorized are hard working, law abiding individuals.&S!#%
&S!#%
My brother's construction site was raided by ICE this
morning and 6 people were taken (they came after he left to a new site so he didn't get taken, but some of the crew did). MN companies need to do a better job at protecting their employees. They know ICE is present visibily in the Twin Cities so they need to not send their employees to work until ICE ain't roaming the streets!!
&$!#%
&S!#%Ice is on 24th right by the resource center just started beating on someone for being under a blanket @highlight
And if you question me saying this I witnessed it with my own eyes!
They headed Southeast. White Jeep wagoneer grayish blue I think Toyota minivan

Hey, CBP isn't allowed to do any of the stuff it's doing in Minneapolis even within the confines of its extremely ridiculous "100 miles from any border" jurisdiction. It's 300 miles from Canada and 160 miles to Lake Superior. They're breaking the law standing around, let alone beating up protesters.
