If you want to know what’s really happening on the ground in Minneapolis, I just watched live on this feed as ICE kidnapped a 14 and 15 year old in front of a church as neighbors and citizens screamed.

The feds just kidnapped a young man outside a church. Residents are absolutely screaming at CBP. No fear.
Live right now, MPD and Minnesota State Troopers are full on assisting ICE, for those who keep wondering why Jonathan Ross hasn’t been arrested.
Okay, you should tune in to this stream:
They're interviewing a guy from Prior Lake, Minnesota who is protesting for the first time, and explaining just why he's coming out.

These reporters are getting gassed and hit in the head with projectiles by the feds and are still reporting. Astounding work.

Senate Democrats absolutely have to shut the govt down to stop this ICE insanity in the Twin Cities. This is not sustainable & cannot be normalized. Any Democratic vote to provide money to the thugs who are brutalizing this community is a grave betrayal to the people here. Accountability can't wait.

Heard some flashbangs on the side we are not on; can't tell you RN what's happening over there. Over here, state troopers still standing side by side with the feds. Have seen a few MPD officers wander through.

MINNEAPOLIS — “The real criminals is ICE… Another person shot because of their skin color. Even if we’re citizens, they don’t care. Because they’re fucking racists.”
A witness talks to @statuscoupnews.bsky.social after another person was shot, they say with a pregnant woman in the house.

ABOLISH DHS. It’s the only way out.
This is from tonight, 1/14/2026, just after the shooting in Minneapolis

The official DHS statement says an officer shot someone because they had a snow shovel.

Not long after shooting another person in Minneapolis, ICE invaded a private home with flash bangs and tactical gear, and broke down the door.

DHS is claiming that the shooting happened tonight after the victim attacked an officer with a shovel.
But witnesses say it was a foot chase after a traffic stop and the victim was running for his life.
Be wary of these administration sources and their lies.

Saint Paul schools will be closed Tuesday and Wednesday to prepare for optional online learning.
I’ve seen schools close for snow, for pandemic, for natural disaster. I’ve never seen schools close because of threat from our own government.

Cripes a’mighty people, Steven Miller is not staging a militarized ethnic cleansing and sending the border cops to murder people in the street to distract from the Epstein files. He’s doing it because he and Trump (and Vance and Homan and Noem etc) really really want to.

Friends—I need you to connect to your rapid response in your city. Your ICE watch. If you don’t have one, start one. I’m watching Minneapolis and we need to be prepared for what comes next. Know the activists in our neighborhoods. If you don’t know your rights now is the time to learn. Have a plan.
