“Fuck ICE” is Minnesota’s “Aloha.” It means hello, goodbye, and represents our spirit. Thank you for the kind words, Chet.

To give a sense of the enormity of the moment: the airplane nerd who became a resistance hero by taking photos at the airport got a prime speaking slot between Bruce Springsteen and Bernie Sanders and punctuated his speech in front of an impossibly large crowd with a remarkably subdued "fuck ICE."

Replying to @enginerdnate.bsky.social

I can tell you from personal experience that every single observer in Minnesota has only avoided violence because of an ironclad commitment to stay focused on ICE's main victims. cannot be overstated how many people I've met who would just flat out start killing dudes if that wasn't a concern.

This is just Nostalgia Politics by a different name. I have basically zero interest in anything that politically looks like this.

Letting our kids be kids also means getting back to the basics. That’s why, earlier this year, I signed into law a bipartisan bill that requires cursive handwriting to be taught in Pennsylvania schools.

You're just not fit for any level of public service if you think you can have done ABSOLUTELY NOTHING during Minnesota's worst democratic crisis and still expect to get re-elected. Posterity will show, without any ambiguity, that you are not needed.

The "violent criminal illegal alien" that agents were pursuing when they killed Alex Pretti has been in the U.S. for two decades. He had a single misdemeanor conviction for disorderly conduct (domestic assault) eight years ago that was expunged from his record. He did not have a deportation order.

Yesterday Bovino left and Tom Homan came to town and ICE continued as usual taking multiple people near Central Ave and throughout the suburbs. But we Minnesotans don’t get scared, we get organized and we get in the streets.

Here's what ICE is up to in Northeast Minneapolis today. Absolutely heartbreaking. Warning: video is hard to watch

Needless to say that Renee Good and Alex Pretti will go down as heroes here in Minnesota and nationally, their names synonymous with sacrifice and caring for vulnerable neighbors even at the risk of your own life. And hopefully no more innocent lives are lost.

Good morning friends! Some things to remember when you call your senators today: 1. Renee Good's killer is still at large and has not faced justice 2. Alex Pretti's murderers are still at large, unnamed and still working on our dime. 3. 35 people died in ICE custody last year. 35 shattered families

Wake up. Make breakfast. Do email. Watch a murder. Go to a party for a 5 year old. Laugh with my daughter. See a different angle of that murder. Hear govt officials slander the victim. Play Barbies with my kid. Feed her dinner. Tear up at that victim reading last honors to a vet. Put kid to bed. USA

This is a 16-year old girl who was carrying documentation and was pulled over with her documented friend, also 16. This is what they did to both.

Vance in MN: "It's really cold outside. We in the Trump administration want to deport criminal aliens who are sex offenders. It takes a certain level of committed to sex offender criminal aliens to stand outside in -40 temperatures and attack the vice president, but they're committed to the bit."

Mamdani: "I am in support of abolishing ICE. What we see is an entity that has no interest in fulfilling its stated reason to exist. We're seeing a government agency that is supposed to be enforcing some kind of immigration law, but instead what it's doing is terrorizing people."

ICE took someone in Waite Park today while they were delivering food to their family. ICE violently smashed their car on a residential street and then started pointing guns at children in the neighborhood.

This was always coming. This was always the plan. This is what Trump, through intermediaries, was discussing with the January 6 insurrectionists. It was only a question of timing.

After ICE agents shot people in Minneapolis tonight, a crowd faced them down and eventually chased them away, despite federal mercenaries and police shooting a tremendous amount of tear gas. ICE agents abandoned vehicles in the area, containing IDs, paperwork, license plates, and operational plans.

Another vehicle opened. Back was full of license plates, gear, various fed patches.

HAPPENING NOW: In federal court in MN, DOJ is struggling to articulate why a person following an ICE vehicle — so long as they are obeying traffic laws — can be stopped for "reasonable suspicion" of a crime. Judge Menendez sharply questioning that contention.

lescopardi.bsky.social reposted

ICE just indiscriminately stopped a citizen at a bus stop in front of the co-op. If this is how they treat the President of the Minneapolis City Council who is legally observing, just think of what they’re doing to everyone else in our City.

Bovino: "The situation has accelerated and I go back to Mayor Frey and Gov. Walz. They're not trying to tamp down violence or anything else. They're actually fomenting violence and ramping the violence up. They're supporting these people."

Here's your regularly scheduled reminder that he hasn't issued a single demand yet for his PD to mobilize for the protection of the people. They're still protecting ice from protesters. Situation would be identical without him clip farming.

TAPPER: Does your rhetoric need to change? FREY: I said this was a federal agent recklessly using power that ended up in somebody dying because that was a federal agent recklessly using power that ended up in somebody dying. I got two eyes.

Bovino and ICE terrorized Central Ave today and took 2 people, including a legal observer. I’m proud of how Northeast showed up and said clearly get out of our neighborhood and never cone back. Get involved and learn your rights at defend612.com
