When the world goes to shit, people do step up. When that happens and you've been busting your ass for years you can either be mad they didn't do it earlier, or you can be proud that you helped lay out a path and recognize that your role is to guide a new leader into their role.

I was just denied access to the ICE processing center at the Whipple Building.

Members of Congress have a legal right and constitutional responsibility to conduct oversight where people are being detained.

The public deserves to know what is taking place in ICE facilities.
JUST NOW: Huge mass of agents in a standoff, weapons drawn as Reps. Ilhan Omar, Angie Craig, and Kelly Morrison attempt to conduct congressional oversight at the Whipple Building, which has been HQ for thousands of ICE agents.

ICE, get the fuck out of Minneapolis or we WILL lock up our own citizens
Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey says 29 people were arrested in downtown last night during a noise demonstration at a hotel reportedly housing ICE agents: "For those that are taking the bait and causing property damage or otherwise, there are consequences. We're holding the line here all the way."

DAVE MATTHEWS: “I don’t want my taxes to pay for masked thugs to roam our streets & terrorize our communities... She was trying to get away. He shot her 3x in the head. Murdered in cold blood. They’re trying to tell us not to believe what we see. FUCK ICE.”

watching aaron rupar go from posting crack for shitlibs to this should say everything
We evacuated our kids out of Minneapolis this weekend and my spouse reports that as she drove them out of town she saw "multiple freeway exits where people are being pulled over." It feels like the Twin Cities is being subjugated by a hostile occupying force.

600+ people still showed up for Legal Observers training in Minneapolis tonight.

In addition to those currently on patrol. This minute.

While the vigil is happening in South Mpls.

Un-calm people are famously very receptive when asked to remain calm
My public safety team is working to gather information on an ICE related shooting this morning.

We will share information as we learn more. In the meantime, I ask folks to remain calm.

Organizers in Twin Cities making rare plea for folks to share broadly:
ICE ops have changed & escalated this week. They've moved to a 'flood-the-zone' strategy, nabbing anyone they can from bus stops, the sidewalk, cars, or homes. This means indiscriminate abductions and obviously no warrants.

We've been through a lot lately, and it’s not over. 

Extremism is knocking on our door, as YouTubers and federal agents. Schools and hospitals are slashed while Trump pardons crooks and gives handouts to billionaires.

Minnesotans know there’s only one way to weather a storm: you don’t do it alone.

Love to maliciously cancel reservations
ICE is furious because the Hilton cancelled their reservation because of ICE’s immigration enforcement activities.

This post is for Minnesotans only. If you aren't a Minnesotan, please move on.

I want to get on this as early as possible: Amy Klobuchar actively supports Donald Trump's nominees. Present tense. She continues to vote for them.

She also literally helped plan Trump's inauguration.

Do not support!
