The crowd continues to grow. A chant of "Fuck ICE!" goes up. A few moments later, people shout out the name of Silverio Villegas González, whom an ICE agent shot and killed just a few miles from here - in the suburb of Franklin Park - last September.

Good morning from a few blocks away from the Broadview, IL ICE facility, where people are streaming into a protest despite below-freezing temps.

Broadview officials said they expected 2k - 5k people at this protest, but I'm not seeing anywhere near that number right now. Many elders in the crowd

Broadview has modified its requirements, now saying that gas masks, helmets and other protective equipment will be allowed as well as bags/backpacks and coolers (which were also previously barred) at the protest today.

The other restricted items remain, including sign handle parameters.

Getty photographer was tackled by about 50 agents while covering Whipple.

He threw his camera at another photographer to prevent it from being confiscated.

Probably stating the obvious, but the reason people here love this shit so much is because it’s comforting to think that there’s just a small set of violent racist men floating around America.
So tired of all of the “all of the fascist orgs are now just part of ICE” shit

Rapid response networks have evolved swiftly over the past few months. Besieged by 3000 federal mercenaries, volunteers in the Twin Cities have updated their rapid response model, developing a dynamic and resilient system.

This report explores how you can learn from their model to build your own.

This isn't true.

Patriot Front has held several demonstrations since Trump took office, like the mobilization in Austin last month.

Just because you didn't see something on your feed doesn't mean it didn't happen.

For @msnownews.bsky.social, I wrote an article about how ICE Watch is grounded in sociological theories of violence prevention.

The reality is that most men will only commit public violence in extremely specific scenarios and ICE Watch disrupts the conditions necessary for escalation.
Opinion | I'm a Minneapolis sociologist who studies violence. Here's how ICE observers are helping.
Research into how violence occurs shows that disapproval from the people around you can help reduce it.

Less than $15k from the goal!
ICE hit a family with tear gas and a flash bang in Minneapolis. They were driving back from the store, not even participating in the protest. The entire family, including a 6 month year old baby were hit with the tear gas.

This is their GFM. They are less then $25k away from their goal.

Folks are about to learn a lot about the Eighth Circuit (the federal appeals court the jurisdiction of which includes Minnesota).

It has 11 active judges; 10 appointed by Republican presidents (including four by Trump). And the one senior judge still hearing cases is also a Republican appointee.

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.

Following the vandalism of at least 11 government vehicles or rentals driven by federal law enforcement at a hotel in Eagan, Minnesota last night, it's safe to say—you don't want to stay at a hotel that hosts ICE, or even park your vehicle there. You don't want to host them at your hotel, either.

So working as designed then.
I don’t think people quite understand that the occupation by ICE in the Twin Cities has more or less erased non-white people from public life. They cannot safely exist in any space accessible to the public and moving between private places leaves folks vulnerable to kidnapping by armed masked goons.

There’s no way ICE was unaware of Saxon’s violence. Victim had broken bones that required surgery… Police came to his home 23 times... had a DUI. A boss called police for welfare check + they found him holding a knife. Supervisor admitted he's a ‘loose cannon.’ ohiocapitaljournal.com/2026/01/12/i...
