On this President’s Day it’s an important reminder that for the first time in American history the United States doesn’t have a President but instead is being destroyed by a vindictive hateful trashy fraudulent lying diabolical sadistic criminal tyrant and his regime of crooks.

In fact, I love living in a community with thriving immigrant communities. It's nicer here, with them.

everyone’s saying “people are NIMBYs about concentration camps” and yeah, I don’t want a concentration camp in my neighborhood, or anywhere you know who I don’t mind in my neighborhood? free immigrants, undocumented or otherwise

under questioning by Rand Paul, ICE officials confirm that yelling at officers is not assault and recording officers is not a crime

ICE literally doesn't care who they maim, injure, or kill. The Twin Cities are still a war zone, brought to the innocent people of MN by our own tyrannical federal government. Shout out to the woman in a bathrobe in the middle of winter. We appreciate you showing up for your neighbors.

WE NEED YOUR HELP❗️It’s February 10, 2026, & rent is past due. I’m working with 7 different families who have been impacted by ICE & are now struggling to pay rent. I’m hoping to raise $6,082 to help pay the month of February rent for all of them. Cash app: $jasonchavezcruz Venmo: @ LiamDavisTemple

In a win for Trump's mass deportation program, a devastating court ruling now allows for indefinite immigration detention without bond hearings. With ICE looking to scale up its detention facility capacity, people are fighting back.

Organizers in Minnesota have transformed crisis into action and tragedy into solidarity. On Thursday, those organizers and MN leaders will share what they’ve learned so we can all be better prepared to organize and protect our neighbors from ICE and CBP deployments: www.crowdcast.io/c/reimagine/...

If you cannot do it with people watching, what you're doing is not "law enforcement," obviously. It is legal to observe ICE, and the people committing "obstruction of justice" here are not the observers. This should be 100000000% obvious.

In one 30-minute stretch, three legal observers were arrested — as Trump’s Border czar Tom Homan calls on locals to “end the resistance.”

We aren’t resting until ICE is out of MN. We aren’t stopping until ICE is completely abolished. They want us to bend the knee so they can continue separating families, but we won’t be doing that. We’re going to win, and it’s bc of the resiliency of our neighbors. www.mprnews.org/episode/2026...

mprnews.orgMinneapolis council member Chavez: We are not going to rest until ICE operation endsWhile DHS said that it removed about 700 agents from the 3,000 that were in the state last week, Minneapolis City Council member Jason Chavez says he hasn’t seen much change on the ground.

Benito is a threat b/c he makes art so alluring and enjoyable you want to understand everything about it and then you end up learning about sugar and slavery and colonialism and the Taínos and Hawaii and then you probably have some thoughts of your own, and that's why art is powerful and dangerous

I'm hardly the first person to note this, but it's enormously instructive that our President and his followers saw the message "THE ONLY THING MORE POWERFUL THAN HATE IS LOVE" and understood it, correctly, as an attack on them

Miller@milleryoho.bsky.social

What a moment.

I will add: The unseen work are the thousands of people who are feeding, sheltering, & caring for our neighbors who are in hiding, desperately afraid of being outdoors, as this makes them vulnerable. This includes citizens and people born here. And we are preparing to do this as long as it takes.

🚨BREAKING: Epstein survivors just released a powerful ad just before the Super Bowl to demand all the documents be released. Everyone needs to see this. Share widely!

We must face, oppose, and dismantle the concentration camps that the US is continuing to build for the purposes of ethnic cleansing. This is beyond abhorrent and we are all responsible.

Concentration camps: “For 280 days we haven’t eaten a single piece of fruit, banana, apple, orange, or anything fresh. We are all in one big room with no doors or windows. We can’t see any grass or trees. We are all constantly sick."

I think it's really important to understand that, while facing an evil and violent government and its corporate overlords who love to hate women (see ICE and the Trump-Epstein files), the resistance is 💯 being organized by women, and the men who actually love us.

"Minneapolis is the home we love with our whole big hurting hearts. A city of lakes, creeks, springs and the big river, Mississippi or Gichii Ziibi in Ojibwe. In my mind, our city is a body, alive and coursing through us, even where sacred streams are sluiced under streets."

Last night we had 2 ICE agents get out of a car, pepper spray legal observers, shout something to the effect of "I'm fucking ICE motherfucker" and drive away.

We reviewed more than 100 Minnesota license plates attached to immigration enforcement vehicles in recent weeks. We found that nearly 60% were not registered with the state of Minnesota, including the Chevy Tahoe that federal agent Jonathan Ross traveled in the day he fatally shot Renee Good.

Jon Collins's coverage of this has been outstanding, and this article, about ICE observers in the outer suburbs, is no exception. (No paywall because this is MPR.)

Floored by this story. A man wrote a pollite email to a federal prosecutor objecting to the deportation of an Afghan seeking asylum. DHS responded with an administrative warrant to get the man's info from Google, then visited his home to intimidate him.
