It’s day 60 of the ICE occupation of MSP.
We are approaching two months under occupation, and our resolve is stronger than ever.
Friends in other cities- start organizing now. Talk to five friends, neighbors, or parents at your kid’s school, and start building your network to resist ICE.

ICE has now purchased at least 1,639,595 sq feet of warehouses in Texas they plan to use as camps. One just 20 minutes from my house.
And that’s just two articles I’ve seen this week.

Seattle, today:
A pilot goes through his preflight checklist,
An ICE officer in the front row counts off the paperwork for the 42 chained humans he just loaded,
And a flight attendant dressed all in gray is left to shut the door.

If we all step forward together, then when I need to step back, I can. And then when it’s your turn to step back I’ll step forward again.
People keep talking about how decentralized the resistance is in MN, and yes there is no singular figure, committee, or group coordinating all things. That's very different than there being no structures (plural), groups (plural), or leaders (plural) keeping things going and building things further.
