Recall that Melissa Hortman and her husband were murdered not long ago by a fake cop who showed up at their door looking like this guy
This is from Georgia Fort’s video.

Among other demands for lawmakers to make is that Palantir and every executive be blacklisted from ever working with the government forever
There was, in MN, a palpable, constant sense of fear that could even feel like paranoia from people engaged in civil resistance. Here’s why:

Eight hours after Homan's press conference, my kids' school went into code yellow and were held inside past release time because of ICE vehicles in the area. Maybe they were just looking to abduct children in a more professional, targeted manner, though.

There is a level of alarm coming from many great small businesses in Minneapolis & St. Paul that I haven’t heard since COVID.
This weekend - pick a locally-owned business or three that you love and go spend some money if you can. We’ve all got to look out for one another and they need our help.

DHS has a whole citizen detainment system set up in Minnesota. They snatch citizens off the street (often with proof they are citizens), detain them for a few hours, steal their phones, then release them into the cold.
It ain’t about deporting citizens; it’s about terrorizing a whole population.
