Sharing what CM Chavez put aptly— increased ICE activity in South Minneapolis, many reports today coming out of the 12th Ward. Please be safe and take care. It is legal to observe and document. Make sure you’re connected to your neighborhood networks.
Dear neighbor,
We are seeing an increase in immigration enforcement and federal agents across South Minneapolis. This includes the sighting of Bovino at 34th and Cedar. There’s definitely an uptick compared to the last few days. 1/

Hey whistle friends. Those whistles are loud, maybe bring ear protection while you are actually whistling

I always read it as BORAT officers
Border Commander Greg Bovino stands outside a South Minneapolis gas station this morning with BORTAC officers in what seemed like an effort to draw more and more people to the scene as other agents shoot high resolution video of the crowd yelling and blowing whistles.

They are absolutely fucking everywhere today. If you can be out, go out

Every day some story breaks me some. Today it’s the guy who approached parents at a school patrol, told them he was with Indivisible, and asked about how the patrol system works. The parents gave vague answers, followed him back to his car — and of course it was ICE.

Protect the vulnerable AND buy your neighborhood whistle friends a coffee
It's Day 50 of the ICE occupation of MSP.
Today at a presser, the head of the Border Patrol said "The groups are a bit better organized. They’ve got some excellent communications…and it makes it difficult to operate here at times.”
Keep making it difficult for them. Blow those whistles!

See it didn't matter when it was #Minneapolis & #StPaul, but now its the SUBURBS and is impacting the COPS! So NOW it is important you see. Imagine you were a US Senator & could actually DO SOMETHING about it!!! Just stop Amy, you words are worthless here.
Today I talked with police chiefs from across the metro area. This isn’t just happening in Mpls and St. Paul. The 3000 ICE agents are in the suburbs and across our state. The surge is disrupting the work of local law enforcement.

New— An American citizen boarding flight from Boston to Lisbon just now told me after showing boarding pass, every passenger stopped on jetway by two ICE agents demanding to take their photo. When passenger asked why, ICE threatened to detain them. If they said no photo, couldn't board/TBD detained.

hennepin county sheriff’s office ramped up their work helping ICE even as dawanna witt announces her campaign kickoff. reports from whipple say they are acting as crowd control
they’ve created a barrier and ICE are barely guarding the gates now because HCSO are doing it for them. this frees up ICE

remember that the sheriff is an elected position, and dawanna witt is up for reelection in november. let’s see if the way hennepin county sheriffs have been assisting ICE spurs a challenger

wow they're actually legitimately losing the police

It's super cold this week and while that might make ICE miserable, it endangers the lives of our homeless neighbors. MIWRC is keeping people safe with the warming center, but needs funds desperately

The twin cities’ hospitality economy is being decimated rn. Local productivity across every sector is fucked, people are tired, distracted, anxious, nervous systems fried.
This isn’t pro-business, it’s not good for GDP, it’s not making anyone safer (quite the opposite), and it’s not ending soon.
