Mara Brust @marabrust.bsky.social · 18/09/2026Jaw dropping: MPD was operating under a special order from Chief O’Hara requiring officers to document apparent excessive force or suspected civil-rights violations they witnessed by ICE. MPD produced ZERO such reports during all of Operation Metro Surge. 173

These school closures are a direct result of their choice to divest from our public schools. Unfortunately, shame doesn’t work on these parents. Maybe a renewed sense of community after the Surge could draw them in? But they want mps to fail. 2212
