If you see someone being taken, get their name. GET THEIR NAME. Call out, "what's your name?" or "como te llama?" and record or write it (or both, ideally both) and then call Monarca at 612-441-2881 with the person's name.
This something I want people to understand. If you don’t get their names, they’re just gone. There’s no arrest record and the snatch-and-grabs can last seconds. People simply disappear and we can’t find out who they are or what happened to them.
They seem to be making a habit of it.
This child was taken 10 days ago, no idea who he is, if he is with his family or even if his family knows what happened to him.

You need to read this one. ICE detained two observers. The agent driving the vehicle started having seizures. The women asked to be uncuffed and gave him aid. After EMS arrived, the women were still taken to Whipple. www.startribune.com/detained-by-...
Detained by ICE, two women became first responders during agent’s seizure
The women say they guided agents through the emergency, later raising concerns about medical protocols, weapons safety and accountability.

Everyone’s just trying to live their lives the best they can. And these motherfuckers are just wilding out, marauding, terrorizing for no fucking reason beyond “they can.” This helps nobody. This benefits zero people. This is dropping entire communities into a nightmare for sport.

Life in Minnesota is terrifying right now, but every day I feel amazed by watching us wake up and go fuck with these absolute losers. Minnesota is going to annoy the regime to death and upon the graves of the fascists we'll erect a statue to Barb the librarian who ran dispatch.
Small thread.
I was driving up to @makwacoffee.bsky.social bc I knew Roseville (a suburb next to St Paul) was lousy w/ ICE. 1/2 mile away I drive past an ICE agent, so I flip around (following every traffic law) & enter a lot where there were 5-6 ICE vehicles & probably 8 observer cars.
