Important by-the-numbers analysis/fact-checking of Metro Surge:
ICE says it arrested 10,000 "criminal illegal aliens" in MN but it has only released 240 names of immigrants arrested as of Jan. 19. Of those 240, 80% have felony convictions. Nearly all had served their time and were not actively wanted when they were detained, according to a Star Tribune analysis.
ICE says it has arrested 10,000 ‘criminal illegal aliens’ in Minnesota, but offers little proof
If accurate, that total would represent a substantial share of the state’s undocumented immigrants.

A 5-year-old autistic girl was surrounded and detained by ICE goons without a warrant using her as bait to target her parents.
When the mother said, "Give me my daughter back."
An agent responded, "Nope, you’re going to have to come out here and get her."
The child has been referred to therapy.

Yesterday, these incompetent fucks were just going door-to-door in a neighborhood near my house at 8:30 in the morning. School buses were driving through trying to pick up kids, people were out walking their dogs, and people were taking out their trash cans.

I don’t think people quite understand that the occupation by ICE in the Twin Cities has more or less erased non-white people from public life. They cannot safely exist in any space accessible to the public and moving between private places leaves folks vulnerable to kidnapping by armed masked goons.

Some of the stories in here are absolutely chilling. One US citizen of Somali descent was just riding an elevator with ICE agents and then they detained him for almost half an hour in the freezing cold despite him showing agents his passport card. They only let him go once protestors showed up.

Last year when I wrote about prison staff jumping ship for ICE, I reported that BOP had lost a net of at least 1400 employees by late fall.
I just got new data showing they lost a net of ~1700 by mid-December -- though w/EOY retirements the final 2025 figures will likely be higher.

For a literal decade the official CBP policy has been “don’t stand in front of or behind vehicles” because the decade before that their internally commissioned studies found that agents were putting themselves in front of vehicles so as to shoot the occupants

Or CBP. Much of the enforcement we are seeing in the interior is a result of increased presence of CBP and former Border Patrol agents who have terrorized border communities for decades. We have long accepted abusive policies implemented at the border thinking it will protect people in the interior.

Ending the Avelo contract with DHS also a big win. And a place where, as with many fights against logistical networks, local action against a national or international problem can be surprisingly effective. New Haven is its biggest airport! And they got the mayor against the airline.
