DHS employees entered our store this afternoon and served us a Notice of Inspection, demanding copies of I9 forms for each employee. In 27 years as shopkeepers, we have never been subjected to this type of investigation.

Given the timing, we consider this to be targeted harassment as punishment for exercising our First Amendment rights. We're still handing out free whistles. And we just got in hundreds of new yard signs. Keep resisting, Minnesota. We love you.

This certainly seems like the subject of an FOI request. "How many I9 audits have been performed in the city by month and market sector." If you are the only you store them it's straight up retaliation. I'm sure there are plenty of lawyers here who could help.

Mischief toys is fantastic- I stopped in for stickers earlier today and I absolutely believe this is targeted and an attempt by DHS to intimidate. Mischief is wonderful and we will support it all the way!!

We mostly just sell in our store but we offer curated gift packages at mischieftoy.com. But honestly every small biz is stressed right now. If you have an indie toy, game or book store near you, you should totally hit them up! Thanks! 👊🏼
