Federal agents used chemical irritants to push through an angry crowd that blocked their vehicles as they checked identifications in a heavily Somali neighborhood of Minneapolis on Tuesday, amid the Trump administration’s ongoing crackdown targeting the community.

Multiple U.S. citizens have been arrested during ICE operations.

The forcefulness, lack of communication, and unlawful practices displayed by federal agents will not be tolerated in Minnesota.

The agents handcuffed the man, took him across 4th Street and pushed him onto his knees in the snow. One put him in a choke hold.

“I have my ID!” he shouted repeatedly, as heard on video. The agents do not respond.

Susan Tincher, a 55-year-old American citizen, said agents told her in the truck that if she didn’t watch herself “they were going to pull me over to the side of the road and give me this OC,” law enforcement shorthand for pepper spray.

What's the likelihood established local news never reports on this?
ICE agents abducted a father in front of the Richfield Best Buy building and just left his kids in the minivan. Richfield cops took them inside a nearby restaurant to wait for the kid’s family to pick them up. Not entirely sure if RPD was working with ICE or not but a shit situation either way.

Know your rights, Minnesota.

Stay peaceful and don’t give the Trump Administration a reason to escalate their theatrics. We’re with you.

St. Paul leaders face mounting questions about why police officers were on the scene — and why force was used — despite repeated assurances that the department would not participate in federal immigration actions.

Donald Trump just told 800 top military leaders that they need to prepare to confront an “invasion from within.” He is preparing the United States military to turn on Americans who don’t agree with him.

This is tyranny.

The news cycle has moved on so if you don't live here it's easy to forget but this is still very much happening, LA remains under siege and our neighbors are still being abducted daily.
