This morning, federal agents staged at the Powderhorn Park Recreation Center lot and began to throw chemical irritants at observers. They also kidnapped an observer. Our parks are meant for our children, youth, and neighbors. They should never be militarized zones meant to separate families. 1/

Here is a video taken just this morning of ICE pepper spraying my friend who was standing several feet away, and behind a fence, from agents attempting an abduction.
Nothing about their conduct has changed. We need to continue our observations but please do so as safely as possible.
Fuck ICE.

Legal observers at the Whipple Federal Building witnessed ICE agents swapping out license plates in the ICE staging location. Masked agents who already routinely refuse to identify themselves are now swapping license plates at whim to kidnap our neighbors and tear apart families.

Celeste Robinson, Minneapolis Ward 2 council office, urging "serious public health conversation" about the racially disparate impacts, getting beyond "air quality" as an abstraction. This is about life expectancy, brain development, heart attacks, strokes, that "parts per million" doesn't capture.

Update from superintendent:
"MPRB will fully adhere to and follow Mayor Frey’s Executive Order 2025-02 dealing with Immigration and Customer Enforcement (ICE) presence in our city and prohibit any MPRB parking lot from being used to stage civil immigration enforcement operations."

I've had a lot of people reach out about the presence of ICE on park board property. Unfortunately, they are legally allowed to be on our land because it is completely public. This is a gross abuse of the sanctity of our parks and can't be tolerated.
We will do all we can to keep these spaces safe.

Monitoring? That’s it? Are you committed to publicly supporting the sanctuary state legislation? Restoring the healthcare you stripped away from undocumented immigrants who are adults? Banning the egregious human rights violations we saw today? Thought so.
We are monitoring the situation in St. Paul and working to understand what unfolded. We received no heads up from federal authorities on this operation.
While we are always willing to work together on public safety, that is clearly not what this chaotic situation was about.

I am so proud of the work we have done on the campaign trail, and incredibly grateful for all the relationships we built along the way. Together, we set a new standard for park board campaigns and political campaigning city-wide.
