Our local schools are empty, many are at 50% or 70% absenteeism, it’s like COVID except with zero resources to support families or students. Because the federal government keeps specifically targeting them with terror tactics.

We need sustained national coverage to amplify pressure on ICE thuggery. Your legal observing and videoing is really helping with that, as this pithy New York Times compendium shows: www.nytimes.com/interactive/...
Videos From Minnesota Show How Aggressive ICE Has Gotten During Arrests and Encounters With Protesters (Gift Article)
For weeks, residents have documented the impact of President Trump’s mass deportation campaign and captured many violent confrontations on camera.

Maybe what we're doing through mutual aid is moving Minneapolis to where ICE can't find it.

Every time Trump breaks the clear letter of the law, the NYT and WaPo write a story about how he’s “pushing boundaries” or “testing the limits of his authority”

Rest in peace Victor Manuel Diaz. He was a Latino immigrant kidnapped by ICE in Minneapolis. He died in ICE custody at Camp East Montana, Texas while facing deportation.

My church hosted a local neighborhood group organizing to support Minnesotans. It was packed & likely the most important event held at the church in 20 years. I say that as a church attendee whose kids were christened there. Neighbor gathering to support each other & democracy. Weather be damned.

For @msnownews.bsky.social, I wrote an article about how ICE Watch is grounded in sociological theories of violence prevention.
The reality is that most men will only commit public violence in extremely specific scenarios and ICE Watch disrupts the conditions necessary for escalation.

Opinion | I'm a Minneapolis sociologist who studies violence. Here's how ICE observers are helping.
Research into how violence occurs shows that disapproval from the people around you can help reduce it.

If you’re going to run for office in MN and aren’t going to call for Abolishing ICE, it’s going to get harder and harder for you. The kids who today are building snow walls to keep out ICE and drawing pictures of ICE defeating machines will soon be of voting age, and they’re not going to forget this

In other words - North has the largest population of Black residents in Minneapolis.

i feel for the people of north minneapolis if they’re about to become a protest hot spot from outside the neighborhoods. this is an area often neglected and ignored by even its own elected officials. people not from over north should really be judicious in how they act coming over there
Near Lyndale and 24th Ave in Minneapolis tonight, feds have reportedly shot another person.
Preliminary info is shaky for now, hearing two people injured.
BORTAC just rolled up in an armored vehicle. A crowd is gathering outside the police tape—MPD presence as well.

A good reminder people.
You know how people (I’m people) will honk their car horns in appreciation as they drive past righteous protesters?
Please don’t do that now!
The switch is flipped. Horns = ICE PRESENCE. We all go into high(er) alert mode.

ICE just indiscriminately stopped a citizen at a bus stop in front of the co-op. If this is how they treat the President of the Minneapolis City Council who is legally observing, just think of what they’re doing to everyone else in our City.
