ICE has kidnapped so many people from their cars that the city had to put out this statement. Let that sink in.
Vehicles that are abandoned due to an ICE detention and towed to the City's impound lot will be released to their owners or a representative at no cost.

“ICE Watch is a whole lot safer for observers and the broader community than it might have seemed the first time you saw a video full of bystanders with whistles.”
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.

💯 There’s ONE and only one issue that should be on everyone’s mind now for the midterms and 2028. Take back both the house and senate. And you vote for any democratic candidate that can win, period!
I don’t care if you like them or not. Winning back power is the only way we keep our country!

I don’t think people quite understand that the occupation by ICE in the Twin Cities has more or less erased non-white people from public life. They cannot safely exist in any space accessible to the public and moving between private places leaves folks vulnerable to kidnapping by armed masked goons.

Do not be blind to what is coming. Trump does not fear disorder, he needs it. Martial law, emergency powers, suspended elections. He is facing impeachment and prison. We are going to wake up soon and find soldiers in our street. He's not trying to win an election, he's trying to erase it.

The agent responds, "Have you all not learned from the past couple of days?"
"Learned what?" she asks
Then he knocks her phone out of her hand

Every day, we're bombarded with the bad news of Trump 2.0. It is exhausting to keep track of each new outrage. That's the clear intent.
The Trump transgressions come so quickly that they distract from one another. And when one is caught in the crossfire, it's hard to address the big picture.

AOC: This has now become what we feared most about ICE for a long time—that it would be used as an anti-civilian force with no accountability. At the end of the day, what we saw today was a murder, and murders in cold blood need to be prosecuted.

What the fuck. Trump is claiming the U.S. military captured a sitting head of state in his own country, with no extradition process & no legal authority.
No matter what you think of Maduro, that’s absolutely insane behavior—and a precedent that should alarm anyone who cares about international law.
