The "ICE is using military tactics suited for a warzone, not for American streets" rhetoric kinda misses the point that warzones are not naturally occuring. The US military creates war zones from residential neighborhoods and the tactics are not more justifiable just because it's overseas

From a Minnesotan: a hearty HELL NO to this. This man is a professional political consultant in DC raising $$ for a political party. There are endless better places to donate to actually help people here suffering and fighting against this nazi invasion. Here’s a start:

what's the point of doing a deal with this wretched country if a few months later the covetous worm who's declared himself king decides he wants your grasslands or whatever and just jacks up the tariffs anyway
oh right i forgot he just did a deal with them like 6 months ago lol
European Union lawmakers are poised to block approval of the EU’s trade deal with the US over President Donald Trump’s vow to impose tariffs on countries that supported Greenland in the face of American threats.

Also worth noting that a lot of people's first experience with undocumented people is working with them in a service job. I have nightmares of ICE hauling off people I worked with 20 years ago. In the throes of a restaurant job, these are generally people for whom you'd lay your life on the line.
I'm not sure the author of this piece ever worked a service job before, because getting the authority to say "get the fuck out right now" to a visitor that's annoying the shit out of people is one of the rare joys of a service job
The general theme of this commentary is "stop asking MN companies to ban ICE from their properties." The argument is that enforcing the ban would fall to individual low-paid employees, who would be placed in danger.

The chuds saying “we’re gonna paint you as a violent mob no matter what actually happens” is gonna backfire spectacularly one day. People will learn this lesson eventually and suddenly these nazis won’t be getting escorted out of danger anymore.
The narrative being pushed on X is that Jake Lang was dragged off the window ledge into a violent antifa mob and beaten.
The dude who pulled him off the ledge protected him and escorted him through the crowd.

If you work for ice please understand that your kids will laugh at a character based on you dying in an action movie before the end of the decade. They’ll be in movies for really little kids. Like Phineas and Ferb shit. There will be an action figure of you with a detachable head

Photo by Pierre Lavie. Yes this is me. And I threw my Leica. It landed on the bass plate with hardly a scratch. Another Photographer grabbed it along with my phone and I was able to track him later. I was held face down tear gas deployed right in front of me and pepper sprayed directly into the eye.

Just days after tear gassing a six month old baby and putting him in the hospital, ICE agents abandoned a six year old child in the streets of New Jersey.
They kidnapped her father and left her wandering the neighborhood asking “Where’s Papi?”
This is beyond cruel.
It’s child abuse.
