You’re arresting terrified children and using them as bait. Arresting kids getting treatment at doctors’ offices. Blinding protesters. Illegally raiding homes. Making people terrified to leave their homes.

Border Patrol agents are very sad that everyone in Minnesota hates them.

This video filmed by Ben Luhmann shows the moment a federal agent sprayed chemical irritants directly into a man's face in south Minneapolis.
Three agents already had the man pinned to the ground when a fourth agent walked up and sprayed the irritants.

Trump just openly declared that invoking the Insurrection Act will let him implement his immigration crackdown without going "through the court system."

A Minnesota high school student was nabbed by ICE agents as she was trying to pick up food for her family after work. She was violently dragged from her car and lost her shoes. So, barefoot in the middle of winter, she was put into the back of an unmarked car in a small town (Willmar).
