Happy Election Day! Polls are open until 8PM. If you say you oppose ICE and stand with immigrant communities, then you CANNOT vote for Angie Craig who voted for the Laken Riley Act and thanked ICE.

I wanted to let you know that this afternoon, federal agents and ICE vehicles were parked at the Powderhorn Park Recreation Center parking lot and on the 3400 block of Bloomington Ave S. Please continue to be on the lookout, and alert your neighbors if you see any ICE presence in our community. 1/

mayor jacob frey has vetoed the pause evictions, save lives bill the minneapolis city coucil approved that would've extended the eviction timeline from 30 days to 60 days temporarily to held families impacted by the ICE invasion catch up paying rent
March 11, 2026
Minneapolis City Council
350 South 5th Street
Room 370
Minneapolis, MN 55415
Dear Council President Payne, Council Vice President Osman and Council Members:
This letter is to inform you that I have vetoed Ordinance No. 2026-002 to extend the pre-eviction notice for
renters to 60 days. I understand the authors’ intent, but the experience from COVID-19 and guidance from
shelter and affordable housing providers shows that this strategy has not worked. We have heard over and over
again from shelter and affordable housing providers that longer timelines produce worse outcomes for
residents. In their words, when rental assistance isn’t available, time is a debt trap that becomes a barrier to
securing future housing.
I heard a call for more financial assistance, and I believe that is the best path forward. Rental assistance is
working and getting to renters quickly – rent collections are better in 2026 than 2025. That’s why I’m proposing
to spend $1 million from the Affordable Housing Trust Fund for emergency rental assistance administered
through Hennepin County.
While a 60-day pre-eviction notice period sounds good, there is no data to show that it does good. Pandemic
era eviction moratorium allowed many renters to accumulate huge amounts of debt that they are still paying off
today. When property owners carry the losses, the housing system experiences upward pressure on rents to
replenish reserves, catch up on missed mortgage, insurance, utility, payroll, and property tax payments, and
cover increased costs associated with deferred maintenance.
I believe most landlords are working with tenants to develop payment plans and access rental assistance. But for
bad actors, I worry that the proposal gives them reasons to report tenants to ICE or use minor lease violationswhich don’t require as much notice and are harder to expunge – to evict tenants.
We will continue to monitor the data. If something substantially changes, I am committed to working with the
City…

And what really sticks in my craw: when people talk about "mom and pop" landlords they're referencing people who rent out a small # of single-family homes, duplexes, etc. Well, those LLs are sitting on assets that have increased in value by >200% over the past 25 yrs. It backstops the whole affair!

This is also a big one for me. The strawman argument is always "but what about the mom and pop landlords?" Well, most of them are sitting on goldmines that someone else paid for. They can always sell their multi-hundred-thousand dollar assets, walk away with their profits, and get a job!!

It is so damning of US news media that so many outlets refuse to just straight up say that Senator Tim Sheehy assaulted an activist. He did not "help" Capitol police. They did not need his help. He wanted to assault the guy and did. He should resign.

A legal observer in Cold Spring urged us to share that on 2/5, an ICE agent threatened to kill them. The agent purposely stood in front of their car and used the bogus fear of being hit to justify the threat. As the news cycle turns its eye away from MN, we will not forget.

Along these lines: if you live in Minneapolis, the Hennepin County Attorney we elect this fall is going to be the lawyer in charge of prosecuting ICE agents for the murders and atrocities they committed against us. That's why I'm supporting Cedrick Frazier.

A desperate plea sent to me by a Minneapolis resident who's been on the front lines since the beginning of the ICE occupation:
Just a quick update from the Twin Cities. (Please forgive the unsolicited message). THINGS ARE NOT BETTER IN MINNEAPOLIS. The media is mostly moving on, Trump is focused on other stuff, BUT NOTHING HAS CHANGED ON THE GROUND. More than 2,000 DHS thugs continue to roam the streets, abducting people 24/7, assaulting legal observers with impunity, and routinely denying 1st, 4th, and 5th amendment rights. Drones and helicopters are overhead every day. Hundreds and hundreds of terrified families have not left their homes since mid-December ... relying on the community to bring them food and help with rent and other necessities. (Those people are NOT violent drug cartel sex offending murderers, as DHS would tell you. Most are legal residents or citizens.)  If anything, things have just become more stressful and intractable (think trench warfare as a suitable metaphor): The resistance is better organized and numerous, but DHS has become more clever and better at disguise... and the county sheriff's office is increasingly supporting them . Do not let anyone tell you that Homans (the new person in charge of the occupation) is making anything better. Do not let anyone tell you that 700 ICE agents leaving the city has made much of a difference; the remaining force (again, ~2,000) is still larger than the entire city's police force (which is legally unable to do anything). Please call your congressional reps ... especially if there is any chance the administration might listen to them.

From a highly reliable friend: ICE may be dressing in plain clothes to get access to students at schools, and get information about how the resistance is organizing. Be careful who you talk to. Don't engage with strangers with many questions. Vet folks you let into your organizing circles.

In case you’re wondering how St Paul Police could ever treat their own residents like they did yesterday look at this unhinged statement from who the officers elect as their leaders.
St. Paul Police Federation
Statement Regarding the Recent Immigration and Customs Enforcement
Activity in St. Paul
ST PAUL POMOS
1947
Yesterday morning, federal agents executing a warrant were assaulted, threatened, and blocked by a violent mob. They called us for help. We responded only to protect lives and restore order - nothing more. We do not do immigration enforcement. Never have, never will.
A core of professional agitators refused every order, attacked officers with frozen bottles and rocks, damaged patrol cars, and shouted "Don't let them leave." Our officers, while being assaulted, used the absolute minimum force necessary to end the threat and get everyone home safe.
Not one rioter was seriously injured. Several officers were struck by projectiles, yet every one of them showed extraordinary discipline and courage.
This is not about politics.
This is about public safety.
We are not your adversary.
We are your police.
When the next mob comes, please stand with us - not against us.
Our community deserves nothing less.
