In Minneapolis/St. Paul, Whipple Federal is the epicenter of the Trump Regime’s immigration enforcement campaign. I had the chance to be a part of the protests there & to learn more about what is going on inside of Whipple and what Minnesotans are doing to fight back there.

GOP Sen. Thom Tillis, who has called on Trump to fire Secretary Noem and senior adviser Stephen Miller, on Trump calling him a “loser.”
“I am thrilled about that. That makes me qualified to be homeland security secretary and senior adviser to the president.”

It is wild to me that a military incursion to steal another country’s resources so the president can have a personal slush fund in Qatar is like the 5th most scandalous thing currently happening.
this is a straightforward impeachable offense for trump, vance, rubio and every other person down the line who enabled it and the framers would have thought impeachment for it did not go nearly far enough
Marco Rubio: "The oil proceeds are being deposited into an account that ultimately will become a US Treasury blocked account here in the US. We will say 'this is what this money can be spent on.' They will submit to us a budget request -- 'we want to use the money on these things.'"

One year ago tomorrow, Donald Trump signed the Laken Riley Act - a bill that empowers ICE and strips immigrants of due process by allowing indefinite detention, even for children.
Trump couldn't get it done without Angie Craig.

HUGE news! This is about a Trump admin effort to arrest thousands of screened and vetted refugees in Minnesota and fly them to Texas to be jailed and then interrogated.
After the interrogation is over, people are being dumped on the street and told to find their own way back.

ICE is violating court orders at a record pace but, sure, some additional training and a few administrative rules will bring them to heel.
A federal judge, in a published order, so very much on the record:
“ICE has likely violated more court orders in January 2026 than some federal agencies have violated in their entire existence.”

ICE is still terrorizing Minnesota kids: "Two vehicles parked while running on Wilson and Coolidge. They watched a middle school / high school kid get on the bus. After several other observers came out and started following, they circled around the neighborhood several times until finally leaving."

Northfield is a town of 20,000 people in southeast #Minnesota, outside of the metro region. That 20,000 people includes two college populations. Agents in plain clothes raided a local bakery this morning, and masked agents continue to raid local apartment complexes. That's where we're at.

Trump wants to appear eager to minimize out-of-control clashes between government militias and protesters. But he doesn’t want to stop the things causing those clashes in the first place.
