I'm deleting the ice incidents thread because enough of us have seen it & I can't stand to have it blowing up all day.
They're extremely active in South Minneapolis 12/1 & 12/2 with several verified incidents of people being taken, even leaving kids in vehicles in this cold.
Look out for people.

“Labeled as ‘domestic terrorists’ by the administration, these targets include anti-ICE protesters and anyone who allegedly funds them — all of them part of a supposed left-wing conspiracy to violently oppose the president’s agenda.”
The news has entirely failed to grasp the unprecedented scope of the ICE and DHS budgets. Nothing like it in modern history. A galaxy of public/private surveillance and caging institutions for $100,000,000,000s unleashed on a public that will be forever changed. www.brennancenter.org/our-work/res...

Neighbors - you do not need anyone's permission to sound your whistle when you spot ICE. Nor do you need to attend a whistle training first. Here's everything you need to know.

We have got to collectively help people understand that of course the local* cops are acting as an arm of the machine. That is their purpose.
People need to grow their minds & grieve what they've been conditioned to believe about cops being there to help/serve/protect.

Today, after months of requests, I toured the Broadview ICE Processing Facility. I want to share what I saw.
The facility has no food vendor, no medical care, and detainees have to use toilets in the middle of shared cells. These are in no way suitable conditions to be holding anyone — period.
