I gave this to my high schooler.

@miracmn.bsky.social (who I hope will start posting more #onhere) has these in English & Spanish & I hope Somali.

It’s important for Caucasian Americans to know ICE has no jurisdiction over us, but still important to remain calm so they don’t punish our neighbors.

Everyone deserves safety and security. I joined my neighbors and @miracmn.bsky.social to reject Trump’s regressive immigration policies and stand up for our immigrant communities. Minneapolis must be the nation's north star, and I will continue to work alongside you to move our city forward.

Update from DWN’s Advocacy Director at the Dec 10th Senate Judiciary Committee hearing underscoring the cruelty of President-elect Trump's mass deportation plans.

Detention and deportations strip people of their dignity, separate loved ones and hurt communities. Members of Congress must act now.

We can’t know for certain what will happen once Trump is in office. However, he has announced various plans.

In this explainer, we attempt to lay out what his first moves may be – & how you can best protect yourself & your loved ones.
