Judge insists federal leos follow federal laws or else nothing at all will change even if they don’t
A federal judge has prohibited federal immigration agents in Minnesota from arresting, detaining, retaliating against or using force and chemical irritants against peaceful protesters and observers.
Federal judge bars ICE agents from ‘retaliating’ against protesters in Minnesota
The injunction filed Jan. 16 follows a lawsuit brought by six Minnesota residents during the early days of Operation Metro Surge last month.

I regret to inform you that we’re real minnesota residents trying desperately to tell you that our party’s failures to take action have nothing to do with funding and everything to do with unwillingness.
Yes, the campaign attacking this work is clearly mostly inauthentic accounts. These kinds of swarms are common on Twitter. Never experienced it here on Bluesky before.
In a time of crisis we all need to do our part. This is what I do, and am proud of our contribution 4/

The more I read those critics the more I think they are GOP/ Russian trolls. Who ever they are the agenda seems to dissuade us from creating any sense of unity. And to instil a sense of distrust of any dem leader. This approach worked in 2024. They’re doing it again. I say ignore and block.

NEW — ICE violence has spread well beyond Minneapolis, with agents landing in small cities like St. Cloud. I spoke with Alice Valentine, a local queer trans woman, who protested ICE on Monday and was pepper sprayed, beaten and jailed as a result, along with her girlfriend.

You guys wanna help another way?
If you're feeling unable to do any direct action, please make sure your neighbors who are out patrolling have less shoveling to do. Please consider doing some laundry for your friends or running some take out over there, or having them over to your place.

This is Minneapolis:
I am SO behind on *every* basic life chore: grocery shopping, cleaning, laundry, errands.
Today I'm doing laundry for a neighbor family, who has been too afraid to leave to go to the laundromat for 6 weeks.
Maybe after that I will have energy to do my own family's laundry.

The City Council for the Occupied Territory of Minneapolis met today at 2 PM. 🧵
TLDR: The council unanimously adopted a resolution calling for Gov. Walz to implement an eviction moratorium in response to the ongoing occupation by ICE, and a resolution condemning ICE activity.
