DHS agents are still here in our community in plain clothes scouting out immigrant owned businesses on Central, knocking on neighbors doors, swapping out licenses plates in cars without registration, and driving dangerously in our community.

This is a powerful letter from Minneapolis Legislative Delegation asking Mayor Frey to sign Pause Evictions, Save Lives. 16/17 state legislators who represent Minneapolis signed onto this letter. It’s time for Mayor Frey to sign this ordinance and support our immigrant neighbors.

We don’t have money to house people, or pay people’s rents or keep schools open and safe from masked goons but we have money for a cop training facility? For what? MPD failed to keep Minneapolis safe and two people died for their failure and our schools were raided. kstp.com/kstp-news/to...

Hear directly from Aliya Rahman, who was brutally pulled from her car and assaulted by ICE on her way to a doctor’s appointment, on the importance of extending the pre-eviction notice to 60 days. We are proud to have passed this policy today and are calling on Mayor Frey to sign it immediately.

Whatever happens with Operation Metro surge there needs to be accountability of our law enforcement. Let’s remember this all started when right-wing influencers came to our state (with assistance from the MN GOP) to target Somali daycares and film children. Our cops didn’t protect kids and look.

We don’t need a celebration we need to abolish ICE and get justice for those murdered and for those whose rights have been violated and return our neighbors. Reminder the Roman Colosseum was a propaganda machine that enforced hierarchy and was a distraction from living standards. Stay focused MPLS.

At the end of the day no amount of theory or posturing changes the reality that our economy is on the brink. Tough decisions will be made at the capital this year. I’m praying we do enough and get enough passed even with the slim majority.

Aftermath? Patience is right, this has nothing to do with immigration and everything to do with elections and the GOP trying to secure total control of our government. ICE is the enforcement arm that is being trained to suppress votes and ultimately the American people. So far from over.

America always attacks BIPOC communities when it feels like they are economically rising. Operation Metro Surge is just the modern day fire bombing on the economic infrastructure of the Latinx community in Minneapolis. Those in power need to show their racists follower they are getting a better deal

Right wing politics stem decades long. Its racists, anti-immigrant,-anti-black, anti-union, less regulatory and pro business talking points have taken a long time to become mainstream in American politics. The left or Democrats need to get adjusted and say things like abolish ICE. It’s a long fight.

Hate to break it to you but they’re both related. A moratorium would help people shelter in place while the modern slave patrol terrorizes Minneapolis with our highest elected leader doing nothing but cussing every now and then to show he’s serious. I hope you got it now.
