Kristi Noem managed, while governor of South Dakota, to get herself banned from the reservations within her state’s boundaries. That’s not easy to do.

Those of you who still insist on drawing a distinction between ICE and police should be aware that the police are not drawing that distinction.
Thank you for telling us you neither serve nor protect. Thank you for saying the quiet part out loud. That was state murder in broad daylight, captured from multiple angles by multiple witnesses, and the people of Minneapolis have eyes.
You support murder.

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
Because he put himself in front of the car to have an excuse to shoot!

Trump is cutting the state off from federal funding - daycare, health care, food, and more cuts coming. For why? A punishment. An attack. It's indiscriminate and it's on all of us.
We are under attack. This is the language we need journalists to use. Minnesota is under attack.

Not an exaggeration at all to say that the feeling in Minneapolis is that the entire metro area is being treated as occupied territory by federal agents. Impossible to overstate how overwhelmingly people here do not like it. This does not feel sustainable.

It is difficult to explain how dire this situation is. There are 2,200 ICE agents in Minneapolis right now. They are heavily armed and are operating with no rules. The MPD only has 550 officers. StP even fewer. How can they protect us against an invading army? Because that's what this is.
Federal immigration officers are pulling out of a Louisiana crackdown and heading to Minneapolis in an abrupt pivot from an operation that drew protests around New Orleans and aimed to make thousands of arrests, according to documents obtained by The Associated Press.

Looks like ICE is now cracking down on … Native Americans.
This letter was just posted by the chairman of the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe in North/South Dakota:
“Our Nation is a sovereign government and our members are not immigrants. We are not subject to immigration enforcement on our own lands.”

I was a news reporter in a border community for 45 years. This is how they've always been. Imagine what they did to border crossers when out of sight. They always lie to protect their own. Derechos Humanos, Border Action Network, etc. tried to warn people but were shouted down by political right.

The police are defunding us.
In our upcoming budget, we’re investing over $124 million to support law enforcement – the highest level of funding in state history.
When I took office, we made a promise to deliver a comprehensive plan on public safety—one that responds to crime *and* actually addresses the root of crime.
