Hi friends, there is a south Mpls neighbor in need of funds for their asylum case. They received a court summons today & need an attorney to help. @danielsuitor.com has given some pro bono resources but we think they will need paid representation.
Please see images for details & how to help.

Still around 100 community reports of ICE activity around the Twin Cities today, the most of any state by far.
In case you’re wondering why so many of us aren’t quite taking Homan’s presser today at face value.

If they do leave soon, that will mean one more month of countless people sheltering at home, one more month of rent and utilities and food and medical care that needs to be raised. That's millions of dollars of emergency funds just to keep people fed and housed. Do not look away.

UPDATE: He was just released. This shows that just indiscriminately took someone because they were Latino. Their illegal tactics continue so we still need neighbors to patrol, observe, and support our immigrant community.
Someone was abducted at 10 AM by ICE on Central Ave. Their coworker says they’ve lived here for over 20 years, are documented, and have 3 kids who were born here.
Don’t be fooled by headlines when they’ve been lying to us the whole time. We still need you out patrolling until every agent is gone.

WE NEED YOUR HELP❗️It’s February 10, 2026, & rent is past due. I’m working with 7 different families who have been impacted by ICE & are now struggling to pay rent. I’m hoping to raise $6,082 to help pay the month of February rent for all of them.

No, ICE should just be disbanded and commit crimes back at wherever they worked before they got called up to the Rent-A-Klan Call of Duty Assistant Manager Third String Sweaty Hot Dog Club.
ICE agents shouldn't wear masks. We need to know who is attacking and committing crimes. Masks undermine accountability, invite abuse, and help place perpetrators above the law.

If you didn’t understand the halftime show, why not just learn Spanish really quick? Maybe without any money while working nights cleaning hotels and raising three kids in an unfamiliar city. Should take what, three weeks, tops?

1/ ProPublica collected handwritten letters in mid-January from children held at the Dilley Immigration Processing Center, the same facility where 5-year-old Liam Conejo Ramos was taken.
Hundreds of kids are still detained.

ICE told nurses this Minneapolis man “purposefully ran headfirst into a brick wall.”
What actually happened is that they pulled him from a car, beat him so viciously with a steel baton that he had 8 skull fractures, 5 life-threatening brain hemorrhages, and couldn’t remember he had a daughter.
