The world may have moved on from Minneapolis but its immigrant community continues to struggle.
We spoke to single mothers who hid from ICE for months, ran through their savings, and now can’t pay to renew their DACA applications. At least dozens are in this situation.

keith ellison is running for minnesota attorney general for 3rd time because “never in the history of my life, probably since world war 2, has the rule of law been under attack the way it is now,” esp seen during operation metro surge
he is here to stand up to trump admin, has sued over 70 times
Watching ICE agents literally run away from a Mount Laurel Starbucks without their coffee because the neighborhood completely rejected them is pure gold. South Jersey will make you unwelcome every single time you show your faces.
On Tuesday, a New Jersey town pulled $91M out of Citizens Bank over its business with ICE prison contractors GEO Group and CoreCivic.
Yesterday, Citizens announced it was ending its relationships with GEO and CoreCivic.
Money managers should DIVEST from $GEO$CXWwww.nj.com/essex/2026/0...
THE ODYSSEY's instantly, predictably enormous success is Exhibit #32176 that the right wing's grievance-farming operation is not some great American cultural shift. Most people don't give a shit about their petty crusades.
Quest for Fire when I was 9 years old. My 11 year old brother threw a tantrum when mom and dad wouldn't take him to see it. The tantrum worked, and I maneuvered it into allowing BOTH of us to go. My nine-year-old's review: I got to see many butts.
Do you remember what *your* first R-rated movie was? I finally asked my mom (I couldn't remember), and she told me it was The Lost Boys when I was roughly the same age as my daughter (about 9). The movie traumatized her more than it did me, apparently
A lawyer says white crystals that prompted an FBI warrant to search Lorenzo Salgado Araujo's van after he was shot by ICE were salt for hydration, not drugs. bit.ly/4wOeNRf
28 years of cyclosporiasis testing
Screwworms eradicated in the US in 1966.
Measles eradicated in the US in 2000.
All are back because of this science denying administration.
Holy fucking shit, CNN has revoked ICE's exonerative mood privileges in headlines AND used a photo of the victim provided by his son that has him happy, smiling, and celebrating a birthday. Fucking *CNN*.

I'm thinking now of the period in our near future when we're digging up the mass graves underneath these facilities and fanning ourselves with talcum-powdered hankies in bewilderment at how we ever could've suspected our worst fears were happening.
ICE has killed another person, this time by depriving him of life-sustaining medication for a known medical condition.
Jesus Manuel Arenas-Silva was detained on Thursday. He was dead by Monday.
Per @detentionwatchnetwork.org:
Just last week, the Trump admin halted the project to put Harriet Tubman on the $20 bill. Now, they're all too happy to stroke Trump's ego & put his face on a coin.
Our currency should honor the best of America, not those who've done everything to destroy its founding promise.
We will fight this.

Per @detentionwatchnetwork.org:
*deep breath, squinting at character limit* Using AI to make images of E. Jean Carroll celebrating her victory against Trump is a further depersonalization & victimization of an assaulted woman, and only deepens the general lack of consent and autonomy granted to women in our culture.
NEVER FORGET the debt we all owe to the Miccosukee Tribe, without whom it would still be open.
And never forget that Indigenous sovereignty and all our safety and flourishing are forever intertwined.
Guess what, I know a real simple way to decrease the stress you jackbooted assassins find yourselves under.
Drop your masks, drop your guns, walk away.
Moreover, abolish and prosecute ICE.
Here's how you know they're racists: they try to vocally defend things hundreds of years removed from their ascendence. Because they recognize THEMSELVES in the people who wrote laws we all know were bad, racist, evil.
A White House report has defended the 1882 Chinese Exclusion Act, pushing back against its characterization by a Smithsonian Institution exhibit that the law was racially motivated.

You do not take healthcare from people because you don't like how they voted. Healthcare is a human right. You do not take food from people because of how they voted. Food is a human right. You do not take human rights from people, ever, for anything.
Hi as a queer trans man who has never left rural areas and spent a third of his life as a political and community organizer in the rural south you do not take food from the mouths of children because of the sins of the parents unless you're a fucking fascist.
Federal and state health officials are reportedly investigating whether Taco Bell restaurants played a role in one of the largest U.S. outbreaks of an illness that causes explosive diarrhea
They kidnapped and terrorized Liam Ramos, a little boy in a blue bunny hat.
They’ve ripped newborns from their mother’s arms.
Today they forced a little girl with a pink backpack to watch her father die.
They shot him right in front of her.
Abolish ICE now.
Last time this happened, the fascists were surprised at the outrcry and backlash. They couldn't believe we'd keep it up, that our minds wouldn't change. They couldn't understand why we don't want the same people dead that they want dead.
So we'll show them again.
It really is that simple: there's no reason for an agency tasked with "Immigration and Customs Enforcement" to function as a gestapo that invades neighborhoods and shoots people. Why do they have military weapons and use military tactics? They're supposed to be paperwork clerks.
On the scene here in Biddeford where ICE shot and killed someone this morning. Still so many unknowns.
Let me be clear: Federal immigration enforcement should NOT be using deadly force against anyone in our communities. Period.
We need a full, independent investigation, and we need answers.
I’ll remind everyone that the Alex Pretti murder began with a Latino guy going to pick up an app donut delivery, ICE agents eyeballed the guy, and started chasing. It was Latino ICE guys racially profiling another Latino guy. ICE isn’t doing anything but driving around looking to make quotas.
ICE shooting victim in Maine was a 26-year-old man from Colombia with work authorization and a Social Security Number, likely an asylum applicant. It'll be interesting to see how he came to be on ICE's radar.
I can't believe people are going to have to go through the struggle, the heartbreak, and the hard work that happened this winter all over again, because bootlickers killed another person.
But then, I wasn't alive for the civil rights era, so I guess is also part of me shedding my softness.
ICE has fatally shot 11 people since Donald Trump's second term began.
These are not isolated incidents. They are the predictable result of a cruel, violent system.
Abolish ICE.
BREAKING:
BIDDEFORD, Maine (AP) - Homeland Security secretary said man killed by ICE in Maine was not the target of warrant, Maine Sen. Angus King says.
In my opinion, this is litigious thuggery.
Amnesty spoke their truth and it hurt the feelings of the anti-trans brigade.
TERFs destroy everything they touch. I mean, imagine suing Amnesty, of all organisations?
Today ICE killed Joan Sebastian Guerrero in Maine. Every time ICE walks away from a death without answering for it, they're telling their agents they can keep shooting. How many more people will ICE kill with impunity before Congress acts?
Our statement: nipnlg.org/news/press-r...
Six months after Renee Good and Alex Pretti were killed at the hands of federal agents, this is long overdue but offers a hint of accountability.
Minnesotans will continue to demand justice for the horror the Trump Administration brought to our streets.

I don’t ever wanna hear what “ICE says” about any fucking incident they’re involved in. You might as well tell me what an old hot dog says about it. Like just dig a moldy wiener out of the trash and ask it what happened. The answer will be more honest and less insulting.
