Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey: "I just saw a video of more than 6 masked agents pummeling one of our constituents and shooting him to death. How many more residents, how many more Americans need to die or get badly hurt for this operation to end?"

They’re killing observers because they are threatened by them. the work these people are doing is profoundly brave. They’re all heroes.
I am trying not to post on these events in this state of mind but: I hope people understand what the observers are doing is brave and dangerous.

Protester in Minneapolis just before disappearing in gas: "Fuck you! Stop. Damn! I'm 70 years old and I'm fuckin' angry!"

Minor point here but Eat Street, where this happened, got that official nickname because it's lined with restaurants from all over the world.

It's a beloved symbol of immigrant cultures and a place that showcases pluralism in a state (wrongly but frequently) stereotyped as a land of low-key Swedes

ICE isn't law enforcement without training; ICE is white nationalism with guns.

There has been another shooting involving federal agents in Minneapolis and I am working to get more information. I will update as soon as possible. To the Trump administration and the Republicans in Congress who have stood silent: Get ICE out of our state NOW.

Time to delete TikTok if you haven’t! They’re asking specifically for immigrant status and transgender or nonbinary status, which should make people nervous about where we are heading

Side note: It is — and I cannot stress this enough — literally extremely cold.
Happening now: a large group of mostly clergy — primarily local faith leaders, some not — are staging an anti-ICE protest at the Minneapolis airport.

The clergy just keep coming to this anti-ICE protest.

Genuinely unclear where they all will go — it’s packed outside on the sidewalk already.

Oh it seems the answer is three street.

Protesters (again, largely clergy) have moved into the street.

Police have arrived. Arrests seem imminent. The crowd chants “let them pray” and “Minnesota nice means prosecute ICE”

Arrests calmly ongoing.

This is going to take a while. There are a lot of clergy risking arrest.

This is one of the stories I've tried to convey for a while now:

The Trump administration and its allies have long invoked faith to justify policies, appeal to certain groups, etc.

But the president's religious critics have *also* long been numerous, and increasingly loud.
