scenes from occupied Mpls: "Federal agents staged at the Powderhorn Park Recreation Center lot & began to throw chemical irritants at observers. They also kidnapped an observer. Our parks are meant for our children & neighbors. They should never be militarized zones meant to separate families"

When the state treats a public park like occupied territory and witnesses like enemies, it’s not policing, it’s intimidation. Tear gas in playgrounds, people dragged away in vans, and they still call it law and order. This is what fear looks like in uniform.

It's pretty clear at this point that the purpose of a metastasized ICE was not to hurry up and deport immigrants, but to terrorize and intimidate citizens who (1) object to the deportation tactics and (2) any other gathering that expresses opposition to Trump.

At this point it’s obvious ICE’s expansion isn’t about efficient deportation. It’s about spectacle and fear—militarising public spaces, punishing dissent, and sending a message to citizens that protest itself is suspect. This is intimidation as policy.

Burnsville MN recently passed an ordinance banning ICE from using city property to stage (and giving it’s citizens a place to formally put their concerns on the record). Could whichever local entity that controls this park do the same?

Many children are abducted & separated from their parents. What happens to them? It’s time for the media and elected officials to focus on the children held in US / ICE concentration camps to get more of them released & show the horror of these actions.

There is NO WAY that the other nations involved should be subjected to having to come to a nation where they can expect to be intimidated, harassed, detained and menaced by federal agents of the host country. Would you go to another country where this madness was occurring? Honestly? It’s insane.

This admin. is attacking us, arresting us, & violating our Constitutional rights. They break the law daily & without restraint. They’re buying warehouses to detain us. HOUND GOP Sen. & Reps. They must choose: Democracy or Fascism: (202) 224-3121 / 5calls.org PROTEST in whatever way you’re able.

These are what amount to criminal gangs in our cities. Police should be arresting them, not helping them, not standing idly by as they break the law.

…and any local police chief or officer who refuses should be immediately fired and I don’t care if that means every single cowardly cop in Minnesota.

Minneapolis is the origin of George Floyd, BLM, and Antifa itself. The first Antifa group in America was formed in MN in 1987 and designed to import European destabilization tactics to American. The elite class are financing Antifa and protestors just like they did BLM. You are being replaced.

They’re killing people on video and not worrying about the consequences. They’re abusing children and using irritants when none are needed. They’re blatantly rounding up people and leaving children unattended and cars still running in the middle of the street. The Gestapo are back
