ICE has kidnapped one of my MN News Guild siblings
Guild member detained by ICE in Minnesota
January 16, 2026
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Contact: Dylan Manshack, Comms | dmanshack@cwa-union.org | 202-445-4033
Member remains in ICE custody in Texas
MINNEAPOLIS — On Friday, January 9, ICE arrested a member of our union, the Minnesota Newspaper and
Communications Guild, TNG-CWA Local 37002, as part of Operation Metro Surge.
While the circumstances of his arrest are not clear, we know he has been transferred to an ICE detention facility
in El Paso, Texas, where he is awaiting action on his petition for habeas corpus.
The Guild is not publicly identifying the member out of concern for his family’s safety, but he is a father, a
husband, and a staff member at a Minneapolis non-profit organization. He is a steward in our union and an
advocate for all workers. And he is one of dozens of Minnesota union members who have been detained in
recent weeks.
The Department of Homeland Security says it has made more than 2,000 arrests since the surge began in
December, according to an MPR News report. But the agency has not provided details about the people
arrested, such as how many were charged with a crime, how many face deportation, and how many were
subsequently released.
“The Minnesota Newspaper and Communications Guild stands with our member and his family as they face an
uncertainty that is all too common in our state right now,” local president Nick Woltman said. “Like all
Minnesota workers, our members deserve to feel safe in their communities both on and off the job.”
“The detention of a Guild member in Minnesota amidst the chaos created by DHS is heartbreaking and
infuriating,” said NewsGuild-CWA President Jon Schleuss. “My heart goes out to his family, who are now
without their father and husband. As a union, we commit to fight for each other as stewards of our
communities—especially in times as dark as this, while federal agents continue to target working families.”

sharing Patrick Dane's sister's post Instagram with her permission. if anyone would like to share memories and tributes (so many have said such kind things on here) please let me know in a DM and I can share Katie's email.
On December 27th, our family’s world changed forever. My brother Patrick, my dad John, and my step-mom Valerie were involved in a devastating car accident, and Patrick passed from this world far too soon.

My dad and Valerie have miraculously survived. They remain in critical condition in ICU, but they are making the small steps forward each day.

Patrick was a beautiful soul. He was gentle, curious, passionate, and deeply kind. Every person I have spoken to has spoken about his kindness. It was something everyone felt in his presence. I am endlessly proud of the person he became and of the quiet way he supported and cared for others.

Over this past week, I keep finding myself returning to memories of him as a child, full of laughter, humour, and light. I was so lucky to spend Christmas Day with him, with my dad and Valerie, and I will treasure those moments forever. Patrick was the happiest I had seen him in a long time, and I truly believe that matters. I will carry that with me always.

I have had the honour of speaking with some of Patrick’s closest friends and hearing beautiful stories about his gaming, his loyalty, and the support he gave to so many people. One friend described him as a “guardian of light,” and that feels deeply true. It is something I will hold close to my heart forever.

Patrick, you are so loved and so deeply missed. There will always be a space in our family shaped exactly like you. Thank you for the love you gave us and the light you brought into our lives.

The love, prayers, and kindness we have received have carried us through the darkest days, and we are so grateful. Please continue to hold my dad and Valerie in your thoughts and prayers as they continue to fight so hard. I truly believe Patrick is with them, guiding and protecting them.

Rest in power, my beautiful brother. We love you always

Another dataset I like is from the National Atmospheric Deposition Program, which has maps of the US that show we fixed the acid rain problem by implementing stricter emission controls on power plants. nadp.slh.wisc.edu/maps-data/nt...
Map of the United States displaying hydrogen ion wet deposition levels from measurements taken in 1985 by the Central Analytical Laboratory. The map uses a color gradient from green (low deposition) to red (high deposition) to show varying levels of H+ deposition (kg/ha). The highest deposition levels are concentrated in the northeastern U.S., while the western U.S. has the lowest levels. Black dots indicate measurement locations. The map is sourced from the National Atmospheric Deposition Program/National Trends NetworkMap showing hydrogen ion wet deposition measurements across the United States and parts of Canada, indicating values in kg/ha for 2022. The color gradient represents different concentration levels, with a scale on the right. Sites not pictured are listed at the bottom. The map is mostly green, indicating that H+ deposition is no longer a environment issue that it once was.
