She said she saw federal agents arrest a person, dropping them “head first into the sidewalk. I don’t know what sound your head is supposed to make when it hits the cement like that, but we all heard the crack.” She said the person was clearly injured during the arrest.
NEW: An MPR News journalist was among those hit by less-lethal munitions and taken from the scene by ambulance. www.mprnews.org/story/2025/1...
Another federal agent operation in St. Paul draws large crowds of protesters
Gov. Tim Walz said state officials were monitoring a “chaotic” situation “and working to understand what unfolded. We received no heads up from federal authorities on this operation.”

Trigger warnings but this is the kind of stuff the local PD are eagerly & enthusiastically doing at their first perceived opportunity.
I know some people know good people in all kinds of professions, but being passive to this/part of this is not being good. Far from it.

Wishing best for MPR journalist Kerem Yücel, injured at an anti-ICE protest today, and robust state charges against the masked thugs who hurt him today.

I am furious and devastated that ICE was once again present in Saint Paul and that federal agents continue to jeopardize the safety and well-being of our residents. The destruction this White House has caused our city in just a matter of days is unconscionable.

Apropos of nothing, each of Saint Paul’s police precincts holds a monthly meeting where they listen to the public and it’s usually just old people talking about how much they love cops. You can, you know, show up

Reminder:
These are neighbors responding to violent abduction of their neighbors.
They're not activists/protestors in the ways the State & media convey. Every. Time. They. Do. This.
We're all trying to get through the week & they're spraying tear gas in people's faces when they come to say, "stop!"

Bike Parking Review: MN Orchestra
The treble clef bike racks are an A+ in my book. They fit perfectly with the location, there are a handful of them, and there are plenty of places on each rack to lock, making them usable with any bike.

Monitoring? That’s it? Are you committed to publicly supporting the sanctuary state legislation? Restoring the healthcare you stripped away from undocumented immigrants who are adults? Banning the egregious human rights violations we saw today? Thought so.
We are monitoring the situation in St. Paul and working to understand what unfolded. We received no heads up from federal authorities on this operation.
While we are always willing to work together on public safety, that is clearly not what this chaotic situation was about.

I am once again asking cities to install usable bike parking instead of whatever this is. Could you imagine if cities installed car parking spots that were based on art versus functionality?
