ICE is running a “conveyor belt” of illegally detained Minnesota families.
Agents are arresting entire families with legal status and immediately shipping them off to Texas to deny them legal representation and avoid the federal courts in Minnesota.
The cruelty is endless.

Abolish ICE.
There’s no reforming it.
There’s no compromise.
There’s only one way to rein in ICE’s terror campaign. Abolish it.

Abolishing ICE is only the start. My entire adult life has been watching the DHS slide deeper and deeper into oppressive, invasive enforcement.

Opinion | The Department of Homeland Security Was a Mistake From The Start
Since its founding in 2002, DHS has evolved into the unaccountable domestic security apparatus we have today, one that views the very people it is supposed to protect as threats not humans.

Ian Austin, an Army veteran, was arrested for protesting ICE in Minneapolis. But he’s continued protesting. Senior reporter @julialurie.bsky.social spoke to him.
“When they say, ‘Why would you be out here?’ How the fuck could I not be out here?” he says. “My nation is under attack."
