Nick Benson is an activist with MN50501 who works in commercial flight data analytics. He is one of a handful of people who spend much of their days documenting ICE activity at the airport. Since the beginning of December, Benson has observed more than 1,000 people board ICE flights at MSP.
Observer: ICE detainee flights increase at MSP as enforcement action ramps up
As the immigration enforcement surge continues in Minnesota, more people detained by ICE are being flown out of state. It’s raising concerns of “erroneous deportations.”

What evidence do you have that this is an “immigration crackdown” vs. an effort to instill fear in a city full of people he wants to punish? 🤔

It is not a crack down on immigration. It is a crack down with intent to suppress and instill fear and subsequent compliance in American citizens. They are arresting and shooting American citizens.

"Crackdown" and "aggressive" are doing a lot of heavy lifting there. One could say that they're terrorizing citizens and performing numerous acts of state sponsored violence instead and be far more accurate.

Amazing how quickly the pretext for invading a city just falls away. The circular justification in Minneapolis is now “we are punishing the city for resisting our punishment.

I know people on Bsky know this but I hope it filters out: The feds are OCCUPYING the Twin Cities. This is a blockade, a siege. They are shutting down economic and civic activity. They are conducting "papers please" stops. They are criminalizing being a bystander/witness.
You could be next.
