The detention of witnesses and seizure of their phones is an extraordinary violation of every fucking Amendment you can name:

Why are witnesses in federal detention?
The StarTribune live blog is paywall free:
- The man shot by federal agents this morning has died
- Several witnesses have already been transported to the Whipple building.
- ICE attempted to order local police from the scene, but O’Hara refused, sources said.

This was all on video by the way, up to when the Minneapolis cops put Castile's fiancé in handcuffs for daring to bear witness. The most contemporary struggle for Black lives started in 2012, with the murder of Trayvon Martin. It took nearly a decade to get one Minneapolis cop put in jail for murder
Minneapolis police confirm that the man was lawfully carrying a gun. Philando Castile was murdered by Minneapolis police ten years ago for the same reason.

I teach my students that after 1830, building a barricade becomes a revolutionary statement, whether or not there is any tactical benefit to blocking off the road.
People are definitely setting up a barricade of trash cans and this couch, in the middle of the street where ICE is.
"That's my couch," said a woman standing nearby. "It's been on my porch for four years because it won't fit up the stairs. My neighbor will be pleased it's gone now."

Minneapolis protester as he's being brutalized by feds: "You're gonna have to kill me! You're gonna have to kill me! I've done nothing wrong! My name is Matthew James! I'm a US citizen! You're gonna kill me! Is that what you want?" (You can hear his wife screaming)

OMG. "DHS said the episode began after a man approached Border Patrol agents with a handgun and they tried to disarm him. But footage from the scene shows the man was holding a phone in his hand, not a gun, when federal agents took him to the ground and shot him." www.nytimes.com/live/2026/01...

In October, ICE grabbed Maher Tarabishi.
He was a 24/7 caregiver for his disabled son Wael.
At the time of Maher’s detention, disability advocates warned that taking away Wael’s caregiver put his life at risk.
Wael died on Friday at age 30.
ICE caused his death.
They didn’t get to say goodbye.

it’s the security force operations—such as dropping a bomb on a philadelphia neighborhood, and progressively discovering multiple BLM organizers dead in their cars—to crush whole, multiple generations of domestic opposition to their genocidal ambition as the heirs to antebellum slaver rapist society
Idk why the fascists thought they could easily pacify an American city. I know Americans get accused of passivity, but our history is anything but, w tons of revolts & uprisings & protests & political movements since the jump, for good & for ill. I salute you Twin Cities folks, but I'm not surprised
