I don’t really know what I expect in posting this, but maybe some people see it and can learn from it.

I’ll call it “lessons from an unwilling immigration attorney.”

Make no mistake: the people of Minnesota ended Operation Metro Surge.

Your voices, dedication to peaceful protest, documenting federal agents’ abuses of power, and commitment to providing for each other made this happen.

There's more work to do, but this is a win for Minnesota.

BREAKING: Judge Nancy Brasel, a Trump appointee, has issued a TRO in the Minnesota access-to-counsel case about treatment at Whipple.

"It appears that in planning for Operation Metro Surge, the government failed to plan for the constitutional rights of its civil detainees."

Do I trust Tom Homan, no.

But what I am hearing is: the occupation is moving elsewhere.

Until they do, we need to keep caring for our neighbors.

After they do, we need to keep caring for our neighbors.

And we need to stand ready to support wherever is next.

Abolish ICE.

In a world where Trump is actually innocent of everything Epstein-related his people would be investigating/arresting/charging powerful people implicated and making themselves the heroes of the story.

THEY ARE BUYING UP WAREHOUSES TO HOLD HUMAN BEINGS IN DETENTION INDEFINITELY.

I feel crazy at how everyone is acting like this is normal. These are concentration camps being built right before our eyes. These buildings are not meant to house human beings. People will be caged like cattle and die.

Authoritarian regimes make you feel like shit because they will never admit they’re losing.

But Trump is losing — and it’s because of the organizing work you’re doing.

This is so cruel and infuriating. Missed anti-rejection medications and rejection episodes are no joke. This is heartbreaking and I’m livid our federal government is treating us this way.

Abolish ICE.

There’s no reforming it.

There’s no compromise.

There’s only one way to rein in ICE’s terror campaign. Abolish it.

HUGE. A victory for more than a quarter million Haitians with Temporary Protected Status. A significant majority of them entered the United States legally and have never been out of status since.

Even the Trump admin isn't saying Haiti is a safe country for them to go back to.

Target called the police on peaceful Minnesotans today, telling us we were on private property.

But when ICE comes to brutalize and abduct people in their stores, Target says it’s public space and can’t stop it.

Target needs to decide - do they stand with Minnesotans, or masked abductors? #ICEOut
