WCCO looks at one day's worth of petitions for release filed by those arrested during ICE surge. Majority with no criminal record. People were picked up on the way to get prescriptions, going to work, and showing up for scheduled immigration check ins.

Why are new vehicles arriving?
Does the arrival of shiny new vehicles seem like an indicator of de-mobilization?

There has been no draw down today. ICE snatched someone off Central Ave out of his car because he looked Latino before then letting him go a couple hours later. They were stopping people in Blaine on highway 65, they were all around Fridley, and were in the parking lot of the St Anthony liquor store

An elected official you can respect.
I am proud of you and our immigrant residents. Your resiliency, strength, and dedication have led to the announcement that “Operation Metro Surge” will end soon. 1/

No seriously. They're withdrawing ICE a day before the DHS funding vote and I see a lot of people going "We won!" or even "Why are they doing this now?" and I feel like I'm losing my mind.
Can you establish any fucking motive here? Try real hard.

Still around 100 community reports of ICE activity around the Twin Cities today, the most of any state by far.
In case you’re wondering why so many of us aren’t quite taking Homan’s presser today at face value.

Hard to feel good when people are still suffering, but we did a lot of good here. We stood up for love and community over hatred and division. We put an end to their myth of a mandate for their cruelty. We provided a playbook for peaceful resistance. We protected as many people as we humanly could.

There have been multiple abductions this morning in NE Minneapolis, Columbia Heights, and Fridley — I'll believe that there's an ICE drawdown when I see it. Until then, we're assuming that — like always — the administration is lying to us.
We keep us safe.

Someone was abducted at 10 AM by ICE on Central Ave. Their coworker says they’ve lived here for over 20 years, are documented, and have 3 kids who were born here.
Don’t be fooled by headlines when they’ve been lying to us the whole time. We still need you out patrolling until every agent is gone.

The movement is extraordinarily disciplined, despite escalatory rhetoric, threats, & violence against the movement, immigrants, and observers. Over 99% of reported protests featured no arrests, 99.8% had no participant injuries or property damage, and 99.9% reported no injuries to law enforcement.

Someone please photoshop her waving at protestors from a dirigible.
Minnesotans stood together, stared down ICE, and never blinked.

Federal surveillance of a city under siege.
No transponders.
No transponders.
Federal surveillance aircraft seen today circling high over south Minneapolis with no transponder running:
- Known DHS helicopter N893N - midday
- Known FBI plane N188SS - evening
This report brought to you by a guy who wouldn't have been looking if you'd just run your dang transponder, feds.
