During a military-style raid on a building in Chicago’s South Shore, one resident heard a knock on his door.   It wasn’t the feds — it was a mom and her 7-year-old daughter, pleading for help.

He let them hide in his unit for the next 3 days.

Seeing pictures of an abandoned tamale cart in Pilsen where ICE took a tamale street vendor. Those photos of left behind carts are so haunting. Community members disappeared. Not just vendors but people who have long standing relationships with the community and people.

There were a few minutes that MPD officers were between upstanders and the ICE agents, and a couple squads lingered after they had whatever conversation they had. It's not like we knew what MPD's plans were or if they were going to leave until they left. 🤷‍♀️ Their presence is not an ignorable detail.

I apologize, I meant 26th and Jefferson. That agent left from here and moved two blocks east to Howard and 26th where three of them launched a drone.

That second resident told us that he had called the police because of vehicles with blacked out windows and could tell something was going on. It was not my impression that he had any idea who the drivers were when he made the call.

I arrived to Jefferson St NE & 25th around 8:30 AM. Shortly after, one resident told an agent in her backyard to get off of her private property. The agent went to the neighboring yard. That resident was encouraged by the upstanders to ask the agent to leave as well.

It came from one of the ICE agent's vehicles:
I say ICE because that is how a neighbor told me they introduced themselves to her. None of their gear says it.

I HAVE MORE TO REPORT BUT IT IS OVER.

I have reason to believe they are going elsewhere in MPLS but there is a car following them with bullhorns

Two unmarked SUVs, two unmarked chargers, AND TWO MPD SQUADS

Brian Strahan supporters are making the case on the I Love NE FB group (the bad one) to vote for Brian because he’s liked by republicans. When the person initially making this point tried to then distance it from saying Trump supporters like him, the Trump supporting moderator confirmed it.

Jill Davis: “Conor Hesch Sounds like you like Brian. But the fact remains, he has not lived in Ward 1 until the last month. He has not been upfront about his residency. Quite honestly, I don't find it a bonus point to have Republicans supporting your candidate.”

Anonymous member 619: “Conor Hesch Wow the Trump voters like him? He's perfect for our city council then?”

Conor Hesch: “Anonymous member 619 | doubt Trump-fans like Brian but I know some moderate republicans who do.”

Katrina Johnson Moderator: “Conor Hesch This Trump fan likes him.”

2. He doesn’t whisper lies into the ear of the old and demented sovereign the way Wormtongue does in Tolkien’s epic. King Théoden didn’t have a TV. His Majesty Donald Trump can’t stop watching his. So Miller delivers the poison that way.

Man if this isn't the perfect quote re Weiss: “She plays to an audience of 200 people,” one Hollywood executive with ties to Weiss told Variety. “It just happens to be that audience is made up of people like Jeff Bezos and Bill Ackman. The superrich f------ love her"

Bari Weiss, the incoming editor in chief of CBS News, once auditioned for a role on the hit daytime television show "The View," but tested so poorly with audiences that she "wasn't invited back," according to a new report.

Mayor Frey is an enigma: A 2-term mayor with a message suggesting he's the zero tolerance on encampments candidate, yet he has presided over an endless string of encampment tragedies. The shootings, fires, the wackamole strategy, those are his results. The rhetoric doesn't match reality.

Minneapolis for the Many @mplsforthemany.com · 3d

While Mayor Frey and Chief O’Hara have attempted to claim that MPD only showed up at the ICE action on June 3rd to assist with crowd control, ICE agents certainly saw MPD’s actions differently.

In fact, the ICE Special Agent in Charge emailed O’Hara to say thank you that same day.

Title text: "ICE Thanks O'Hara & MPD" with the following quote below: "I cannot tell you how impressed my staff were as you stepped up and personally escorted that tactical vehicle through the crowd." Below that is a screenshot of an email sent from Jamie Holt, Special Agent in Charge of Homeland Securities Investigations to Chief O'Hara.
