Another journalist assaulted by ICE in Minnesota.
Photo by Pierre Lavie. Yes this is me. And I threw my Leica. It landed on the bass plate with hardly a scratch. Another Photographer grabbed it along with my phone and I was able to track him later. I was held face down tear gas deployed right in front of me and pepper sprayed directly into the eye.

She’s our senior senator. She has the power to shut down the government and end the occupation of Minnesota.
She will not.

There are now more ICE agents in MN than there are police in the 10 largest metro police departments combined.
Our Police Chief asked them not to come onto our streets, but the administration continues to escalate the situation.
This is making Minnesota less safe.

My daughter's school in Richfield, MN (adjacent to Minneapolis) is closing tomorrow due of out-of-control federal agents. Fourth graders spent the week building walls of snow at recess to protect their classmates from ICE. This isn't about immigration enforcement, it's about terror.
