When a Minneapolis man, a U.S. citizen, asked an ICE agent why he needed to show his documents, the agent said “because of your accent.” We're fighting ICE's unconstitutional racial profiling in court.

As any Oklahomans with a sense of decency can tell you, Markwayne Mullen aka the guy who tried to rip the "I am a Man" sign from Al Green's hands, is a lateral move from Noem and nothing to celebrate.

Emerging statistics on the economic impact of Operation Metro Surge are based on limited data and back-of-the-envelope calculations. Researcher Aaron Rosenthal said rough early estimates are still valuable, because businesses, families and policymakers “can’t wait a year for proper data.”

Three months of ICE flight observations at MSP: since November 10 there have been 84 known ICE Air flights operating through Twin Cities, with an estimated 3,563 detainees, in shackles, sent away from their homes in and around Minnesota.
A bar graph, with a smattering of bars of ~30 people some days between Nov 10 and Jan 1, then a large crescendo to 250 per day lasting 12 days, before slowing down to ~25 per day most days in February.

It’s day 71 of the ICE occupation of MSP. City council members and PTAs and neighborhoods and businesses are running crowd-funding campaigns to pay rent for our neighbors. It’s February 10, and we’re going to need to do it all again in 18 days. We need an eviction moratorium now. And ICE OUT.

It’s day 70 of the ICE occupation of MSP. ICE continues to terrorize our neighbors, there are still 2,000 agents here, even as the attention of the world has moved on. When we say ICE OUT, we mean ICE out everywhere.

a brown wire-haired pup stands on a wooden deck in a grassy yard. he looks at us with golden eyes and his right ear flipped inside out. he has a pipe-shaped stick in his mouth, giving him the appearance of a sophisticated and dapper gentleman. just give him a deerstalker cap and a cloak, and he'd give Sherlock Holmes a run for his money.

I think one thing people outside Minnesota don't understand is that after Good and Pretti were killed by feds while observing, the most normal people you could imagine have made peace with the fact that they could be next, and they are still out there because they say it's the right thing to do.

An (I’m assuming unpopular) thought I have been having is the importance of centering immigrants and refugees in our stories of this moment. When we center the stories of only observers, we get milquetoast. Do you know who is brave? The mom who is terrified to go to work accepting help.
