Foreign press comes to Minneapolis and immediately realize what they came to cover is actually happening.

Why is this a surprise to them? People are killed by ICE agents doing what they’re doing.

Don't know what the deal is but it's a particularly smashy Monday morning. Smashed vehicles at Lake/10th, Lake/Bde Maka Ska and Emerson/27th.

I asked the question to MPD that you kind of have to these days. Is this an ICE vehicle? I'm told no.

The Vice President says this is "near the top of the list" of "crazy stories" he heard in Minneapolis.

Let me tell you, the people of Minnesota have some actual crazy stories to tell from the last 2 months. This situation isn't one of them.

The Minnesota National Guard at Franklin/Nicollet last night, one of many access points to where Alex Pretti was killed.

City: "Our goal is to enable access for those who need it, while preventing the entry of materials for barricades or fires that could further disrupt or harm the neighborhood."

Yes!
Can you visit the memorial on foot? I was hoping to go in morning if it’s allowed…

-9F. Walking down sidewalk on 25th, block from memorial. Guy ahead of me, alone but w/ a Hamms at his side. Locals recognize this from a mile away.

“Hamms huh!” “Yeah, you need one?”

“Naw, thanks though. You local?”

“Yeah woke up to gun shots”

“Aw man, get some sleep huh”

“You too”
