Minneapolis City Council President. He/Him
Pinned
Regardless of who you are or what agency you work for, if you shoot or kill people in Minneapolis you need to be arrested immediately and prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. Full stop.
ICE just indiscriminately stopped a citizen at a bus stop in front of the co-op. If this is how they treat the President of the Minneapolis City Council who is legally observing, just think of what they’re doing to everyone else in our City.

There’s reports that there will be 1,000 more agents coming to our city. We need that same surge in residents out patrolling our streets. Even if you can’t patrol, come work from a coffee shop on one of cultural corridors so you can be there to show up for our neighbors.

We just filed a lawsuit against the Trump administration to stop this illegal occupation of our City.
We can’t let this unconstitutional assault on our neighbors happen without a fight, which is why we’re taking them to court. Stay out in the streets looking out for our neighbors & stay vigilant.

There’s lots of ways to get involved and support your neighbors if you’re not able to be out patrolling. Reach out to your local school or community members you know are plugged in and get involved.

2 more people were taken on Central Ave tonight. People at Pilllar Forum went to legally observe and then were maced, pepper sprayed, and beaten by ICE.
Corey from Pilllar is talking about the impact ICE terrorizing our community is having on his business, staff, and our neighbors.

ICE was just going up & down central getting out their cars with pepper spray and guns, but we had so many legal observers it made a huge difference.
If you’re vulnerable at all we are asking you stay inside today & remember don’t open your door without seeing a judicial warrant signed by a judge.

Dear neighbor,
HIGH ALERT‼️ If you are vulnerable to deportation please stay home today. I’m sorry to say this but it’s not safe to be outside. ICE is tearing families apart.
Children of immigrants please keep your family safe.

¡ALERTA MÁXIMA! ‼️ Si corres riesgo de ser deportado, por favor, quédate en casa hoy. Lamento tener que decir esto, pero no es seguro estar en la calle. ICE está separando a las familias.

ICE needs to follow all laws and are grabbing people without any regard for their citizenship or status. They are terrorizing our communities and escalating tensions in our neighborhoods.
Ice needs to get out of Minnesota.
