This is what they consider “de-escalating."
They don’t know the resiliency of Ward 9 neighbors though. We aren’t stopping until the whole dam system is abolished.

We need an eviction moritorium now. Today the judge in the lawsuit against DHS did not issue a preliminary injunction to halt Operation Metro Surge. While we are not done with litigation, this is deeply troubling for our community that will continue to suffer.

Boy the "City of Minneapolis" account sure loves to tell us where the mayor is but never seems to share where the city council members are while they're actually in the streets "standing up for our immigrant and refugee neighbors and friends"
In a powerful speech at the @usmayors.org Conference of Mayors this week, Mayor Frey told the nation that you, our community, are standing up for our immigrant and refugee neighbors and friends.

Alex Pretti was a colleague at the VA. We hired him to recruit for our trial. He became an ICU nurse- I lover working with him. He was a good kind person who lived to help and these fuckers executed him.

The Phillips Neighborhood on the Southside has faced a high concentration of indiscriminate attacks from ICE agents. The families here really need rent support for the first of the month— they’re stuck inside which means they’ve lost income. Join me in supporting 65+ families:
The Phillips neighborhoods are being targeted because it has the highest percent of residents who are not US Citizens. This fund will help feed, provide basic necessities and allow our immigrant neighbors to stay housed for 65+ families (and counting).

If they wanted this to end they could leverage their capital to do so. They don’t actually want the ICE operations that are widely unsupported to stop. They’ll still let ICE stage in their lots, let Bovino terrorize customers, and let their employees get attacked by ICE on the job.

New: Alex Pretti, the man killed by the Trump-Vance mob of agents was an outdoorsmen, a mountain biker, an ICU nurse who "would go out of his way to help," say Veterans Affairs colleagues.
Cheerful. Funny. Gentle.
And still, per sources, Trump officials are urging staff to call him a "terrorist."

Alex Pretti should be alive. We mourn him. He spent his life giving to people whether as an ICU nurse for our veterans or for the woman who fell while ICE agents descended on her and him. Don’t let believe the propaganda from the federal government.
