As we grieve for Alex Pretti and Renee Good in MN, please do not forget Victor Manuel Diaz, who died in ICE custody after being taken from here. And all others who have died in their custody.
36-year-old Nicaraguan national Victor Manuel Diaz died in ICE custody on Jan. 14 at Camp East Montana in El Paso.

The Texas Nicaraguan Community on FB reports that his mom last heard from him on Jan. 6, when he told her he was planning to go to Minneapolis to start work in a restaurant. 1/3

One little thing you can do if you’re feeling helpless tonight: throw a few bucks to the Immigrant Law Center of Minnesota. They’re reportedly stretched thin for obvious reasons and could use some help if you can offer it.

let me add another point: a lot of the replies say nonviolence only works when you're confronting a moral opponent. if you only had moral opponents, you wouldn't need to engage in risky nonviolent resistance. nonviolence appeals to the morality of *others* by raising the social costs of violence.

I'm heartbroken for Alex’s family, friends, & community. I am devastated, enraged, and horrified by the occupation of our city. This federal occupation killed Renee Good, killed Alex Pretti, continues to devastate and separate families, and it is destroying my neighbors’ lives.

Multiple individuals who came to observe the actions of federal agents and protest the senseless shooting in Whittier, have since been detained. They must be immediately released.

ICE and CBP so desperately want us to stop that they are killing people for doing what we do best in Minneapolis: standing up for our neighbors.

It is past time for ICE to leave our state. As a Council Member I don’t have the authority to make the federal government leave, but I will continue to be with you in the streets until they are gone, and long after they leave.

I’m calling on Governor Walz to immediately do everything in his power to arrest the individuals responsible for the murder that took place in my community.

I also call on Governor Walz to institute an eviction moratorium for as long as our state is occupied, and put his focus towards protecting our communities — not deploying even more force against observers and protesters.

We're horrified & outraged: Immigration agents have once again committed cold-blooded murder of a public observer who posed no threat to them.

This time, they've executed a fellow nurse, Alex Pretti. We demand justice and accountability. Abolish ICE, now! https://bit.ly/4big77u

I've been studying the history of US, and indeed, global policing my whole career and I can't make it more clear to law makers that this isn't a bastardization of policing, it is its purest form and logical conclusion. The impunity, militarization, deference, legitimacy, racial targeting, etc.

Tonight neighbors gathered. In parks and on street corners and on porches. We saw them climbing over piles of snow in the quiet + the darkness, candles in hand, bundled up tightly to honor the life of Alex. And to call for an end to the federal occupation of our city. We sang. We shall overcome.

"Observer" feels too neutral for what people are doing in Minnesota. They are witnesses.

They're consciously bearing witness to crimes against their neighbors. As witnesses, they are providing evidence to present and future governments that can prosecute crimes. They deserve witness protection.

BTW when I say abolish ICE, I mean abolish it entirely and replace it with exactly nothing. Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free. That's it.
