Extreme cold this week: limit time outside, dress in warm dry layers, cover exposed skin, and take warming breaks—frostbite can happen in minutes. Check on neighbors/older adults, and watch for frostbite/hypothermia symptoms. Seek care if severe.

Everyone has constitutional rights—regardless of status. If ICE comes to your door: keep it closed. Ask to see a judge-signed warrant with your name/address through a window or under the door. No judicial warrant = you can refuse entry.

Today (Fri. Jan. 23rd), labor & community groups call for a statewide economic pause to demand ICE out. City essential services continue. If participating: check on neighbors, volunteer/mutual aid, support local businesses, and demonstrate peacefully. Layer up in extreme cold!

Everyone has constitutional protections—regardless of immigration status. If ICE comes to your home: keep the door closed. Ask to see a judicial warrant signed by a judge with the correct name/address (through a window or slid under the door). No judge-signed warrant = you can refuse entry.

In light of the recent ICE involved shooting in our ward, we are continuing our demand for ICE to leave our cities and state! We are all feeling the negative impact this is having on all of us in the entire community and state. Please see attachments for resources and share!

Recent reports of ICE activity include detaining or arresting U.S. citizens. If this happens to you or someone you know, learn about your rights, how to report what happened, and where to get help. ➜ https://bit.ly/4qlTdkn

We, along with the State and City of Saint Paul, are suing the Trump Administration to end its unconstitutional and dangerous “Operation Metro Surge”, which is creating chaos, degrading safety and violating civil rights in our city.
