The federal occupation of Minneapolis has radicalized Lowry Hill man, and a former moderate candidate for mayor, Clint Conner, who is calling for Mayor Frey to come up with a plan to use MPD to arrest "ICE criminals."

In the middle of the ICE occupation, the City of Minneapolis is still evicting its poorest, most vulnerable residents. Over peanuts. 86% of public housing residents are BIPOC, 57% disabled, avg income of ~$16k. Throwing our neediest neighbors out into the teeth of winter, exposed to ICE. Disgusting.
I briefly scanned each eviction filed by Minneapolis Public Housing Authority (MPHA) on 1/13/26 (including 3 more filed by Community Housing Resources, an entity affiliated with MPHA):
-41 evictions filed
-Average alleged overdue amounts: $362
-4 cases for < $100, 34 cases for <$500, 1 case over $1K
-41 evictions filed
-Average alleged overdue amounts: $362
-4 cases for < $100, 34 cases for <$500, 1 case over $1K
Neighbors in Minneapolis are keeping neighbors housed in the midst of the federal occupation—thousands of dollars are being raised via mutual aid networks to help pay rent.
Meanwhile, the Minneapolis Public Housing Authority filed 38 evictions yesterday against some of our most vulnerable neighbors

People really don’t understand how bad Minnesota is at this point. The news is openly discussing the federal plans to use old Amazon prime facilities in places like Woodbury and other suburbs as fascist detention centers.
We are fully through the glass and people need to fully take in that reality

Today at 34 & Park in Minneapolis, a woman tried to drive down the street where a protest had broken out in front of a home ICE was raiding, saying she had a doctor apt to get to. ICE agents busted out her windows, cut off her seatbelt, and pulled her out before arresting her.

We are far past the stage of permissiveness with white-supremacist violence inside DHS. We are witnessing ICE transition into a death squad.
This cannot be reformed. The only question is who will fight to abolish it, and who will accommodate it instead.

Minnesota is just the beginning of ICE's transformation into a right-wing death squad. But it can be the end

Ask yourself. If ICE is going door to door, what’s next?
Armed federal agents took a man away in handcuffs. A woman came out of the house and said the man was her husband. It also appears ICE used an administrative warrant, not a judicial warrant.
That matters….

A video of ICE agents conducting door-to-door searches today in Minneapolis
The homeowner requests a warrant repeatedly, is told they don't require one, then is told they're getting it, then the agents storm in anyway
They also point a taser at her to try and disrupt filming

Another friend witnessed ICE pulling up on the sidewalk and grabbing a woman wearing a hijab and shoving her into their car and driving off. No conversation, just snatch and grab.
We are being terrorized and we still have politicians being dumbasses about it.

A friend who is working to organize rapid response told me this yesterday:
ICE is snatching people as they get out of their cars at gas stations, leaving the cars at the pumps, often with the doors wide open. People responding have to move the cars and then find out how to reach family.

Kind of feel like a lot of politicians, even in Minnesota, are misreading the implications of this moment. I feel like the past three days have been tremendously radicalizing for so many people. I have witnessed it even in my own small communities, it goes beyond just incandescent rage.

Abolish and prosecute ICE. They did a murder in broad daylight today. Imagine what they're doing in the closed facilities we're somehow not even allowed to see.
