But the people of Minneapolis do not want a more militarized, "modernized" police force. The people of Minneapolis want to abolish the police. Call your reps and come to the City Council Meeting: Thursday 3/26 (9:30am) at Minneapolis City Hall. bit.ly/StopCopCityMPLS

Reject the Mayor's Proposal for a "Cop City" in Minneapolis! On March 26th, Minneapolis City Council will vote on funding for a new $38,000,000+ law enforcement training facility, proposed on a 4-acre plot in the Windom neighborhood (Ward 11), next to a cemetery and a church.

From February 25-March 1, 2026, a week of action will take place in the Twin Cities. This is an opportunity to consolidate this victory, chase ICE out of Minneapolis and St. Paul, and move towards a world with no borders, no deportations, and freedom of movement for all.

However, to fully secure this victory, we need to establish community control of our streets and rout ICE from Minnesota, the US, and the world—for good.

Make no mistake: this latest drawdown is a victory of the network of thousands risking their lives to fight ICE day and night, as well as of the heroic martyrs Renee Good and Alex Pretti.

In turn, the federal government will greatly reduce the number of gestapo agents murdering, kidnapping, and terrorizing their voter base. Immigration enforcement will continue under the cover of local dems.

The Vichy Democrats—Governor Walz, Mayor Frey, and their ilk—have cut a deal with the feds: they will arrest noise demonstrators keeping ICE awake at night, sweep the blockades impeding ICE operations in the streets, and prosecute rapid responders confronting ICE in every corner of the Twin Cities.

This is not just about fighting ICE. Pro-Palestine advocates (following the attempt to criminalize Samidoun and others), eco-abolitionists (as with the RICO case against Stop Cop City), and anti-fascists (as with Trump's phantasmatic chase after Antifa) must all pay attention to this. /7

This is unfolding in Texas, but make no mistake — the implications stretch across the country. Only one person is accused of firing at a cop, but prosecutors are pursuing broad charges against people who, in some cases, NEVER EVEN SET FOOT AT THE INITIAL PROTEST. /5 crimethinc.com/2026/02/13/t...

On July 4, a dozen people held a noise demo at the Prairieland Detention Center. When police arrived, gunfire erupted. One cop was reportedly "grazed," but there's no medical record of a hospital visit. Now, 19 protesters are accused of terrorism. Read that again. Terrorism. For a noise demo. /2

Ridiculously, the police showed up in riot gear with 3 dumpster trucks and closed off all entrances to the block - after protestors had already cleared the street and left for the night. Onlookers from nearby houses and businesses quickly appeared to confront police presence. One person was arrested

Trash was removed from the intersection and protestors swept all debris from the road. Extra materials were stashed in nearby alleys for re-use.

The blockade received enormous support from cars driving by and visitors attending the vigil nearby in Powderhorn Park. Numbers grew throughout the day - with the largest group at the end. The blockade ended around 4:45 when protestors collectively decided to disband for the evening.

SUBMITTED TO US: Bloomington and 35th was held for 7 hours, withstanding two sweeps. Neighbors and friends re-erected the blockade within minutes after both sweeps - before police had even retreated - thanks to the support of neighbors who dropped off more supplies and hot drinks. .
