We took the dog for a walk. We jumped in puddles, threw snowballs at squirrels, and dodged a dark SUV accelerating at 45+ mph on our residential street. No plates. No brakes. Another sunny day in Minnesota.

Someone was abducted at 10 AM by ICE on Central Ave. Their coworker says they’ve lived here for over 20 years, are documented, and have 3 kids who were born here.

Don’t be fooled by headlines when they’ve been lying to us the whole time. We still need you out patrolling until every agent is gone.

Please notice the lack of action from her.

Scroll to see that at no point at all has she meaningfully engaged.

She's said a few things (very late).

Proposed no prosecutions, done no fundraising, patrolled nowhere.

No legislation to help.

No calling in of favors to protect.
Minnesotans stood together, stared down ICE, and never blinked.

It is and will always be F*CK ICE FOREVER.

I cannot reply to our senior senator in any semblance of a respectable manner.

I’ll believe it when I see it. Everything they’ve said about this illegal occupation has been built on a lies.

We need accountability for our neighbors and for this whole corrupt department to be dismantled.

Stay out there, keep your connection to one another, and only believe your eyes.

Elliot Payne on MPR right now: I'll believe it when I see it. I'll see you in the streets. We need restitution.

Stanning politicians is a mistake. But dammit @elliottpayne.org @jchavezmpls.bsky.social @ilhanmn.bsky.social make it really hard for me to stick to that. They have shown up for us.

tom homan forgot to thank hennepin county sheriff dawanna witt!
Homan thanks Mayor Frey for cracking down on the trash barricades. Thanks Walz for sending state troopers to protect federal agents.

My heart is already hurting for the families across the country whose fears just spiked because they are worried they're next.
February 12, 2026 at 2:43 PM
There have been countless news stories and testimonies to them doing exactly this.

Do not believe the liars when they lie just like they have been lying the whole time!
Homan: "ICE is a legitimate federal law enforcement agency. We're not out scouring the streets to disappear people or deny people their civil rights or due process."

Homans announcement just means they’re going somewhere else.

TODAY YOU MUST CALL YOUR SENATORS AND DEMAND THEY ABOLISH ICE AND DISMANTLE DHS AND RETURN OUR NEIGHBORS. CLOSE DOWN THE CAMPS!
Hey, Americans of good conscience!

CALL YOUR HOUSE REP AND BOTH SENATORS EVERY DAY THIS WEEK.

TELL THEM TO STOP FUNDING DHS AND ICE

Encouraging our Chicago allies who survived Operation Midway Blitz to please post here about that post-”drawdown.” IIRC heat died down but ICE is back doing same shady shit only shadier. Celebrate the win (when it actually happens, not just a liar‘s words) but know this is a strategic retreat.
February 12, 2026 at 2:25 PM
We'll believe it when we see it.

We know they lie all the time.

Homan lied multiple times throughout the conference.

Them leaving is welcome, AND ALSO it is not okay that they just intend to go elsewhere.

People can have different political opinions about immigration policy. Political differences are fine, healthy for a democracy.

But if you’re okay with this, that’s not a political opinion. That is a moral failing.

I had a pregnant client who was experiencing abdominal cramping for three days and was deprived of medical care. When we interceded, she was punished.

A first grader snatched two days after surgery denied wound care.

A client who developed a large painful cyst but was ignored.

So it’s a race: how quickly can a person’s family realize they were snatched and find a lawyer, and how quickly can that lawyer get a habeas petition of file? And is that faster than ICE can load the detainee on a plane to Texas?

It’s exhausting and terrifying. It can be life and death.

This is the second account - the first being in Chicago - of DHS agents mass detaining people and then *sorting them by race*.
More than 400 people, including hundreds of citizens, were “sorted” at gun point into racial and ethnic groups by 200 ICE agents who fired flash-bang grenades into cars with people inside, pointed guns at children & demanded their zip tied parents not comfort them. apple.news/Ausdx6kWtT0e...
Idaho families sue over immigration raid that swept up hundreds, including U.S. citizens — NBC News
About 400 people, including children and U.S. citizens, were detained for four hours while they were denied food and water in the raid, according to the lawsuit.

Protest quilt top done. Long way to go, but this is a satisfying stage.

If you are wondering how Mpls is, please consider how f***ed it is that

"school dismissal is always a peak time for them"

We and our schools and our kids are not okay. Our communities are not okay.
Today ICE caused a multi-vehicle crash in St Paul so bad that someone was sent to the hospital. This is the opposite of keeping us safe.

They have been active around NE today & we know school dismissal is always a peak time for them so please get out if you can & help keep our community safe.

I arrived too late to an abduction yesterday. Ice vehicles boxed in a food delivery driver on the highway. They took him, and when I came on the scene (with a few other neighbors in cars), his keys were still in it. We found his phone, a debit card, his car title and registration.

This is the aftermath of an ICE kidnapping a few blocks from my home in St. Paul—an hour ago. A quiet street full of broken glass and at least three wrecked cars. The target of the kidnapping was taken away by ambulance. He was on a stretcher and covered by a sheet, though a cop said he was alive.
