Out of the tens of thousands who boldly resisted the brutal attacks that ICE carried out on communities in the Twin Cities, the Trump regime is trying to make an example of fifteen of them in order to intimidate all of us out of standing up to protect each other. Keep loving, keep fighting! 🖤🏴
A flier with a butterfly, reading:

DEFEND THE MINNESOTA 15

Abolish ICE!
Return the abducted and deported!
Drop the charges!

15 activists have been federally indicted for their role in the Twin Cities' historic movement against ICE. The Trump regime wants to make an example of them to stop all of us from fighting back.

On Saturday, October 3rd, the Minnesota 15 Anti-Repression Committee is calling for a national day of solidarity actions to show the regime we will not back down. Plan an action at your local ICE office or federal building!
