Minnesota Star Tribune Editorial Board: Minnesota is under siege. This cannot stand.

"ICE presence has disrupted all aspects of life in Minnesota, and led tragically to the death of Renee Good. It’s the outcome of government overreach that favors force over legitimacy."

ICE has kidnapped so many people from their cars that the city had to put out this statement. Let that sink in.
Vehicles that are abandoned due to an ICE detention and towed to the City's impound lot will be released to their owners or a representative at no cost.

So she had a pulse. That’s what the doctor on the scene wanted to check. She wasn’t breathing, but she had a pulse. He could have started CPR right away.

Instead ICE barred the doctor from attending her and waited 15 mins for EMT to get to her.

🧠💔 Kids with brain cancer are fighting for their lives.
But the administration is cutting off research, trials, and hope.

This investigation shows how families are facing frozen trials and lost funding even as Trump claims he wants to “end childhood cancer.”

ICE IN LOS ANGELES

Wednesday, ICE rolled up in an unmarked truck and turned LA into a rooftop chase scene.

Construction workers, jumping buildings, agents climbing ladders, all to terrorize people trying to do a day’s work.

No arrests. Just fear. Just risk. Just trauma.

I know people on Bsky know this but I hope it filters out: The feds are OCCUPYING the Twin Cities. This is a blockade, a siege. They are shutting down economic and civic activity. They are conducting "papers please" stops. They are criminalizing being a bystander/witness.
