ICE is quietly reshaping daily life in greater MN, too.
In Willmar, more than 1,200 of 4,000 students were absent recently -- both white and BIPOC, teacher Tammy Knapper says. ICE detained a 19-year-old student for five days. Trauma takes the place of learning. Something must change. #edmnvotes

Rep. Mohamud Noor: ICE has stopped me in my own neighborhood. They've detained US citizens in front of me while I was begging them to let them go. My kids' schools went into lockdown because ICE was outside.
"Nothing is normal anymore."

Creepy deep dive into ICE technology. sahanjournal.com/immigration/...
ICE’s surveillance technology goes beyond facial recognition
Federal immigration agencies are using a vast surveillance network in Minnesota – from facial recognition technology to ‘stingrays’ that collect data by impersonating cell phone towers.

You walk into this bar and show your ICE mugshot, you don't pay a dime.
Scrolling through the photos of Pam Bondi's "Minnesota rioters," it's just hero after hero. Every photo includes a cowardly DHS agent with their back to the camera.
Bondi thinks she's going to win the propaganda war with this shit, but it's never been more clear that they're losing.

Here's @mollycoleman.bsky.social from the streets of St. Paul, on the legal system that failed to prevent Trump's ICE occupation, and the people who stepped up to protect each other instead.
"My neighbors have shown that the people of this country care about democracy enough to fight for it."

“The People of Minnesota Are Stronger Than the Federal Government That Seeks to Break Us”
The legal system empowered Trump’s ICE rampage. It is people who have the power to stop it.

Yesterday, 50,000 Minnesotans peacefully protested to stop the terror being inflicted on our community. Today, ICE shot and likely killed another constitutional observer on the street. I can’t say this clearly enough: Congress has to stop this. The government is killing us. Congress has to act.
