NEW: The Trump admin certainly put on a show last week about changing tactics in Minnesota after ICE agents killed Alex Pretti, a 37-year-old VA nurse.
Trump even suggested it's time for "a softer touch."
Except residents say nothing has changed. At all. www.huffpost.com/entry/ice-mi...

Trump Using A ‘Softer Touch’ With ICE In Minnesota? Residents Say Don’t Be Fooled.
Two weeks after Alex Pretti’s killing, federal agents have shown no signs of backing down. The resistance definitely hasn't.

Of course this yes, but if you want to see part of why we have been fighting back, come specifically for the State Fair
Axios had a story today about how hard Minnesota’s economy is being hit and how slow the recovery could be. So, I’m going to take this opportunity to say that if you want to support the Twin Cities, you should plan a visit for this summer, spend some money here, & see how amazing it is for yourself.

One aspect of the occupation is that the resistance is so decentralized and ice so ubiquitous that i have no real clue what’s happening in different parts of the city. My patrols go sometimes into the northern suburbs so i know when things are popping off there but i have no sense of mpls.

Here is a collection of sworn testimonies from detainees being held in ICE custody. Until reading these testimonies, I wasn't fully aware of what is happening. Please read them yourself. We need to know this. We need to understand the consequences of ICE/CBP arrests. assets.aclu.org/live/uploads...

This isn't a win. It's a systematic way to catalog protesters and legal observers into the Palantir database.
It's not even tinfoil hat category to claim this any longer.
We're being targeted and added to watch lists.

This should have been the case long before they killed two Americans.
Border patrol agents should never have been sent in masks and camo to wreak havoc and aimlessly run around a state 1,500 miles from the Southern border.

I like it when I can do something to help people displaced by ICE and then after I do that thing I get to eat a pizza.

DHS has a whole citizen detainment system set up in Minnesota. They snatch citizens off the street (often with proof they are citizens), detain them for a few hours, steal their phones, then release them into the cold.
It ain’t about deporting citizens; it’s about terrorizing a whole population.

‘Abolish ICE’ has become an increasingly popular position and people are being shot in the streets over it why the fuck would you dillweeds roll over like this. Especially given that citizenship is much more friable than people think it is this is not as protective as dems want it to look.
