If ice wasn’t terrorizing their communities they would not have to wear masks. Their police do not have to wear mask. If ice treated people respectfully and lawfully they would not have to hide their faces.

This might be why after ~2 months in Minneapolis, 3000+ ICE agents captured on average ~1.3 persons per agent (many of whom were legal residents, so likely <1 per agent) Waste of taxpayer $$$.

Update on the vicious plastic snow shovel and broom handle attack -- Federal charges dismissed.
Bullets went through the door striking the man with legal status, which contradict ICE agent firing at point blank range in self defense. (through a door?)
Was this BS all along? Yes.

Late August / early Sept => Minnesota State Fair is the best time to visit. See the Fair, go up to the North Shore, be adventurous and see boundary waters BWCA on a canoe trip.
If my followers have been inspired by the fierce resistance the Twin Cities has put up to ICE, you should make it a point to take a trip here (April through October 😬), enjoy the wonderful things MN has to offer and support our small businesses. It continues to be a really tough time for them.

Living in Minnesota right now is wondering if your patient is late because they got caught in traffic, because they got arrested, or because they got detained and all of these are perfectly plausible and equally likely.

I hear from people who are surprised I'm still talking about ICE, they thought they'd withdrawn from MN.
No, they have not. In some respects they've escalated.
Some asked why MN is a target. Are there are there a lot more illegals or criminals here?
No, it's not about that. It's about a grudge.

ICE told nurses this Minneapolis man “purposefully ran headfirst into a brick wall.”
What actually happened is that they pulled him from a car, beat him so viciously with a steel baton that he had 8 skull fractures, 5 life-threatening brain hemorrhages, and couldn’t remember he had a daughter.
