🚨BREAKING: DEMS DRAW RED LINE IN DHS APPROPS: NO FUNDING INCREASE FOR ICE. POLICY RIDERS GROWING. STORY COMING IN MIGRANT INSIDER
🚨NEWS: Senate Dems are reportedly offering ICE funding increases in exchange for body cams and de-escalation training for agents.

Body cams can be turned off. De-escalation training can be ignored.

Unclear if no masks, requiring ID badges, and no immunity is on the table.

A reminder that this is the guy dating Nancy Mace's staffer, so when he lies to get you mad at Democrats, he's doing it on purpose.

I don’t think people quite understand that the occupation by ICE in the Twin Cities has more or less erased non-white people from public life. They cannot safely exist in any space accessible to the public and moving between private places leaves folks vulnerable to kidnapping by armed masked goons.

It’s harder (not impossible) to find ICE when it’s smaller cars full of plainclothes agents who never get out of their vehicles, but also, an agent who is perfectly disguised is also an agent who can’t really abduct anyone.

I don’t want to jinx anything, but ICE presence in South Minneapolis has been MASSIVELY down the last two days, and also far less militarized. Very few masks and uniforms, and efforts to disguise their vehicles. Community watch has been suffocating them, I think.

They’re doing this to other observers too. Have seen different vids.
The ICE guy I was tailing decided to show me he knows where I live. You can’t really see in the video, but as he drove past my place he reached out the window and pointed at my apartment. Real tough guy

Yeah it’s well-documented ICE is doing this by now. I honestly had been waiting for them to try it with me. It’s illegal and they have to know they’re being filmed, but they feel like they have total impunity.

American Indian Movement (AIM) patrol trucks have been spotted around NE and folks are flagging them as suspicious and giving them unwelcoming glances because they don’t know who they are. This is the AIM logo and flag, which you might see on their trucks. They are friends!

I just called Schiff and Padilla and told them if they vote for this increase, I will not vote for them again.

Told them I grew up in Mpls, that my 86 yo parents are there, as well as so many high school/childhood friends and their families.

A new NYT video analysis by confirms that Renee Good's vehicle did not run over Jonathan Ross and did not strike him. It's possible that it brushed up against him, but that remains unclear. Ross should be under arrest. This is a gift link. www.nytimes.com/2026/01/15/v...

NEW — ICE violence has spread well beyond Minneapolis, with agents landing in small cities like St. Cloud. I spoke with Alice Valentine, a local queer trans woman, who protested ICE on Monday and was pepper sprayed, beaten and jailed as a result, along with her girlfriend.

This is Alice's story:

The entry to the Mexican restaurant (Don Julio) in my hometown of Forest Lake MN that closed as a result of ICE has become a shrine. Two-thirds of voters in Forest Lake supported Trump in 2024.
