The images and stories coming out of Minneapolis are extraordinary. We can't say we did not know what was happening. Lots of people are putting their bodies on the line to make sure we do.
Getty photographer was tackled by about 50 agents while covering Whipple.

He threw his camera at another photographer to prevent it from being confiscated.

Get to know your neighbors.
This is Minneapolis:

My neighbors moved out of the country this fall. They asked to be added back into our block group chat because they want to keep tabs on how we're all doing and see how they can help.

My absolute biggest personal lesson of the last 5 years: Get to know your neighbors.

It seems like DHS wants sovereign nations to enter into 287g agreements, and they are taking hostages. (the law does not allow the feds to force sovereign nations to join 287g)

DHS acquisition planning records suggest ICE is going on *another* weapons spending spree, planning to spend up to $20 million on M4 shotguns, Glock 9mm duty pistols, and accessories.

On Jan. 24, protesters at dozens of Citizens Bank locations will call on Citizens to stop financing ICE prisons. Events planned in MA, CT, NY, RI, PA, and VT—so far!

Find a protest at tinyurl.com/De-ICECitize... or reach out to @johnmajercak.bsky.social to add a new one to the map.

We hear about it when a company like Avelo changes course in the face of public pressure. What we'll never know is how many other companies will refuse to work for ICE because they saw what happened to Avelo.

It's time to stop letting them get away with describing ICE's operations as "law enforcement." It's not anything akin to that any longer, if it ever has been.
Yes. ICE service is being sold to disaffected MAGA goons as an opportunity to wage a campaign of cleansing, restorative violence against Americans as an act of patriotic national service. And most normies now see that this isn't anything akin to real law enforcement.

As a social movements scholar, I absolutely love the diversity of tactics being developed by each city, reflecting their local flavor

Portland kept it weird with inflatable costumes

Chicago protected its street vendors by buying up their food each day

Charlotte chased ICE agents into the woods

Four companies currently appear to be recruiting for guards and related positions at Camp East Montana.

Three are Alaska Native-owned companies:
• NANA Regional Corporation
• Akima, a wholly owned subsidiary of NANA
• Bering Straits Native Corporation

The fourth is GEO Group.

GEO Group subsidiary BI Incorporated started as a cattle tracking company. Now it monitors our immigrant neighbors, and recently got a contract to track people down as part of ICE's bounty hunting network.

Why in the world is Citizens Bank *still* helping finance GEO Group?
Despite GEO's long record of human rights violations, Citizens Bank hasn't cut ties. #BoycottCitizens

Federal officers have fatally shot at least three other people in the last five months, according to news reports reviewed by The Marshall Project. In September, Silverio Villegas González was killed while reportedly trying to flee from officers in a Chicago suburb, WBEZ reported.
Before ICE Shooting, Immigration Agents Repeatedly Used Deadly Force
The killing of a Minneapolis woman is latest by ICE and Border Patrol officers in recent months. Others have been wounded or threatened with guns.
