I really don’t know the answer: SPPD seems to have enthusiastically supported immigration enforcement today. Is it they disregarded sanctuary orders or is it that their orders were in line with what happened today?

Were it Mpls, I’d put my money on the latter, but I don’t know St Paul well enough.

Monarca shares their trainings all the time. Take the time to be trained. Esp if you are anxious about how to help now, these trainings are calm, informing, helpful.

why are people taking messages that are sent only to people who have gone through training by monarca on how to be a legal observer and blasting them on social media to be found by people who ARE NOT TRAINED IN HOW TO SHOW UP?

this is so fucking dangerous

Re ICE actions going on in St Paul…
1) please only post verified info. Rumors are unhelpful and spread fear. Ambiguous info does the same.
2) look to orgs like MIRAC and Monarca for reliable info. When you take a Monarca upstander training you can sign up for their text alerts.

I want to point out a new resource page on Monarca website.

Small (or large!) businesses can post signs saying ICE/CBP must have a warrant to enter premises.

Also Know Your Rights signs for targeted people.

PDFs of signs and KYR cards. Plaster these puppies everywhere.

SPPD came prepared with gas masks and riot control gear. They planned to escalate.

This is a huge escalation by SPPD and extremely unfortunate to see after they stood down last time

If you are on site, MIRAC is urging observers not to impede execution of a warrant, which is a crime, and to follow MIRAC member leadership on site.

The Somali communities in Minnesota are warm, vibrant, and brilliant. Minnesota is lucky to have them and we will stand alongside our neighbors and friends in the communities all of us call home.

Our Somali friends and neighbors are elected leaders, entrepreneurs, artists, caregivers, drivers, and integral parts of communities from the Twin Cities to St Cloud to small towns. No matter their status, they belong.

Don’t buy into hateful rhetoric. Stand with all those who call this state home.

signed up for community alerts to be a witness. It’ll be nice this weekend and then there’s a pretty big temperature drop coming, so it won’t be pleasant for them at least.

Even if this turns out to be a search warrant and no one is taken, it is OBJECTIVELY GOOD THAT WE WATCH AND SHOW OUT IN NUMBERS
Couple dozen people total (FBI, HSI, DEA) on site surrounding Bro-Tex at Hamden and Territorial.

“Just executing a search warrant” was the answer given on site.

The replies are full of horrifying jumps in people’s healthcare. We cannot proceed as a society if we price everyone out of their basic needs.
My ACA current plan is going from $385/mo to $821/mo.
