can we just quickly clear up an often repeated idea that Minneapolis is a “small city of 500k” or the “47th largest city in the US”?
it is directly connected to st. paul, a city of 400,000. with the suburbs, the metro area is over 3.5 million people.
your city won’t be safer because it is bigger.

Also just the entire idea that you can reduce the systematic disappearing of your non-white neighbors by a bunch of lawless masked federal paramilitaries armed to the teeth to bait is so insulting to its core. We are standing up against and bearing witness to an ethnic cleansing.

So, among the the things I got to help with in law school at UMN was putting together questions for a Minneapolis Mayoral Candidate forum in 2017. We made sure to have a question about sanctuary cities, and guess what Jacob Frey said?

*Everyone has stories like this*

It's worth reminding each other every couple days that every delay you create, every horrible opportunity you deter means someone gets home to their family, might even mean someones actual life is saved. All of it is worth it.

ICE totaled this car, abducted a woman, and then left it in the middle of Snelling Avenue, one of the busiest streets in the Twin Cities.
This isn’t law and order, this state sanctioned terrorism. It’s fucking disgusting.

We're going to start seeing all the rhetoric around peaceful protest as we're facing our neighbors being abducted, shot in the face with pepper spray, hands broken, and killed in front of their wives.
Think before you even use the word "peaceful." At all.

Welcome to Minnesota, fuckers. Also this is super disturbing because the ICE agent's assault rifle appears to fire as he falls down.
This was filmed by a friend near Chicago and Lake last night.

This morning in Minneapolis, an ICE vehicle got stuck on an icy hill in a residential neighborhood. Agents had to push the vehicles out, some almost slipping in the ice themselves.
