Minneapolis has had three homicides this year. Two of the three were perpetrated by ICE/Border Patrol. Per Chief O’Hara, in all of 2025 Minneapolis PD killed no one while taking 900 firearms off the streets and arresting 100s of violent offenders.

the absolute lack of empathy in these goons is terrifying
ICE agents ate at El Tapatio in Willmar, MN, then came back hours later and detained the workers who served them. Turning a meal into surveillance isn’t public safety it’s intimidation. Remember private businesses can refuse service to ICE agents!
ICE agents eat at small-town Mexican restaurant — then detain workers
“Would your mama be proud of you right now?” a bystander said as agents returned at closing time to nab the workers.

Frey: "I think the initial impetus to come to MN was to arrest & deport a bunch of Somali people. They got here & realized the Somali people that would be deported are all citizens. Then they turned their ire toward our Latino community & others. These are communities that make Mpls a better place."

They’re cowards trying to look strong
He didn't shoot her in the head at point blank range because he felt like he was in danger. He shot her in the head at point blank range because he was furious that she wasn't afraid of him. He shot her in the head at point blank range because he felt emasculated.

A woman recording an ICE agent tells him "Shame on you."
The agent responds, "Have you all not learned from the past couple of days?"
"Learned what?" she asks
Then he knocks her phone out of her hand

In U.S. history, some white people were enslavers & other white people were abolitionists.
White people like JD Vance who think teaching about America's history of racism shames white kids should explain why they think white kids will associate more with enslavers than with abolitionists?🤔
