Things have not changed in Minnesota.

They just don't have Bovino there any longer to be an "immediate" representative of the violence going on.
A desperate plea sent to me by a Minneapolis resident who's been on the front lines since the beginning of the ICE occupation:

Americans: I'm calling my governor & mayor on Monday to ask them how they plan to protect midterm voting, I suggest you do too.
POTUS knows he's on the back foot, has said if he doesn't win midterms he's in trouble.

Americans - any of these your Democrats? Call and complain.
These 20 House Democrats just joined Republicans in voting to fully repeal DC's police reform laws.

Wiping off the books critical laws on use of force, transparency, and preventing violent cops from getting rehired.

They think that they should have more say over DC police than the people of DC.

The recent, hard-hitting campaign to pressure Target into better behavior, has been exceptionally well-coordinated and inventive.
Yesterday in NYC’s Columbus Circle, on the heels of ~20 similar actions at Targets in Minnesota on Saturday, and leading up to bigger ones to come very soon.

Our core demand is simple:

Target, stop collaborating with ICE

in New York? Call the governors office.
BREAKING: Upon reviewing the fine print of @governor.ny.gov's proposal, we were stunned to discover that the prohibition on "287g" mass deportation agreements would EXPIRE in three years.

Governor Hochul, this is NOT leadership. 1/
Local cops should be focused on local crime.

Today I'm announcing the Local Cops, Local Crimes Act to stop ICE from deputizing police to do a federal agency’s job.

We need an eviction moritorium now. Today the judge in the lawsuit against DHS did not issue a preliminary injunction to halt Operation Metro Surge. While we are not done with litigation, this is deeply troubling for our community that will continue to suffer.
