Let's review the facts at hand here: A Democratic administration discovered and prosecuted a case of welfare fraud. Republicans are now using this case to smear hundreds of thousands of immigrants and militarize an entire city.
And your conclusion is that Democrats need to do something different?

It's cool that these guys just use pepper spray casually now, against people who are wholly within their rights, without a moment's hesitation. Several shots of them using it as they climb into their cars and drive away, not even a pretense of urgency or need. Just a parting "fuck you" to them.
This is what happened in our neighborhood yesterday. ICE snatched a human being off of our streets, roughed them up badly, and then pepper sprayed legal observers as they documented it all. This is a daily occurrence happening all throughout Minnesota right now.

can we just quickly clear up an often repeated idea that Minneapolis is a “small city of 500k” or the “47th largest city in the US”?
it is directly connected to st. paul, a city of 400,000. with the suburbs, the metro area is over 3.5 million people.
your city won’t be safer because it is bigger.

The actual story is that a family of American citizens trying to evacuate from a neighborhood that ICE had made unsafe, and then ICE tossed munitions into the car, causing three kids to be hospitalized and a six month old to stop breathing. DHS called the family “radical agitators”

the only good thing about this part of the horrible shooting story is that it may turn out to be a gut shot for the carcass of @cbsnews.com and that's great. and unlike the ICE goon CBS has real internal bleeding.

This is driving me crazy. Rogan did not call ICE the gestapo. He said he can see why people say that, after saying that Renee Good was crazy and he can see the other side of the argument that Somalians were being mass imported to rig elections and “hijack democracy.”

![The network's top editor, Bari Weiss, expressed a high level of interest in the story on an editorial call Wednesday morning, according to staffers who listened.
"There was big internal dissension about the
'internal bleeding' report here last night," the
CBS News staffer, who was not authorized to speak publicly, said. "It was viewed as a thinly-veiled, anonymous leak by [the Trump administration] to someone who'd carry it online."
"Felt to many here like we were carrying water for the admin's justifying of the shooting to keep our access to our sources," said a second network staffer, who was also not authorized to comment.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:it4vfrn3hgrb3hsvvwfltqqa/bafkreifehbfqwnd7wxwqe3ywb42uni2stbz4ifikyujgzah4dmkvfx6isu@jpeg)

I’m seeing posts from people (outside of MN) about how US citizens should carry their passports.
And let me say that *inside* MN, we are calmly responding to requests with: “No, I don’t have to show you any documentation.”
Because that’s how you protect everyone, regardless of immigration status.

elected democrats who want their constituents to remain non-violent in their protests of these abuses must actually offer a path for ending the abuses non-violently. they currently are not as a party and it’s a major problem.
🚨WHOA. The El Paso Medical Examiner says it will rule the death of a 55-year-old Cuban man at ICE's "Camp East Montana" tent camp as a homicide.
He was allegedly choked to death by a guard during a "struggle" after he refused to enter a housing unit without his medications.

Just so people outside of MN know - a lot of the US citizens getting “arrested” by ICE never get processed at Whipple. They are roughed up during the arrest and then often dropped off miles from where they were picked up. It means we don’t know the true scale of what ICE is doing based on ICE stats
