Talked to a Somali man today who said his mosque last night was surrounded by neighbors ready to protect them against ICE if needed. Made me feel proud to live in this city.

DHS employees entered our store this afternoon and served us a Notice of Inspection, demanding copies of I9 forms for each employee.
In 27 years as shopkeepers, we have never been subjected to this type of investigation.

Some more figures about ICE's presence in Minnesota:
The Pew Research Center estimated in 2023 that Minnesota is home to 130,000 immigrants without legal status — less than 1% of the nation’s total.
About 9% of ICE’s 22,000 personnel are currently in Minnesota.

Are 3,000 ICE agents ‘disproportionate’ to Twin Cities police forces?
Their presence is bigger than the 10 largest metro police departments combined.

This is 10th-grader Arnoldo Bazan.
A citizen.
Immigration agents grabbed him and put him in a chokehold.
"We're from the United States bro!' he screamed.
Agents took and sold his phone
And when he finally got home hours later, his shirt was ripped, he neck had angry, red welts, and he sobbed.
