We celebrate the return of Liam & his father Adrian, while also knowing that ICE has been as active as ever staging at Powderhorn & Folwell park today.
Rent is due today for so many families and we have a big need at NE middle.

Thanks to this community, our office has raised over $40,000 for rental assistance. Read my most recent statement about this ongoing fundraiser and Minneapolis' response to ICE: https://content.govdelivery.com/bulletins/gd/MPLS-4068228?wgt_ref=MPLS_WIDGET_119
Ward 11 Update - Rental Assistance & Ongoing Response
I could not be prouder of how Minneapolis continues to show up in the face of tragic and unconstitutional violence. We are in the global spotlight yet again, and we have risen to meet the moment. Thank you to every Ward 11 resident who is donating their time, dollars, energy, love, creativity, and more to ourimmigrant and impacted families.

While independent bookstores are giving out free whistles, hosting protest sign making events, and donating proceeds to mutual aid, Amazon is *checks notes* providing technology that assists ICE in their terrorizing of communities.

I was so disappointed in the Tampa Bay Times today- the Mpls murder was not front page news- buried page 6. I emailed the managing news editor basically wtf & said I was thisclose to cancelling. I actually got a (fairly substandard) reply but was surprised she wrote back.

For those outside the Twin Cities, the person posting this GoFundMe is a member of Minneapolis city council (and among the many locals doing absolutely heroic resistance to ICE), so it's legit.
Please help us bring Liam Adrian Cornejo Ramos (he’s only 5 years of age and is currently in pre-K. Yesterday, he and his father were kidnapped by ICE. This will help the family with legal services to help reunite Liam and his dad with their family.

Shocked face: FBI reveals how mistaken identity by ICE led to chase, shooting of Venezuelan immigrant in north Minneapolis www.startribune.com/fbi-reveals-...
![In a sworn affidavit, FBI Special Agent Timothy Schanz provides details that contradict what U.S. Department of Homeland Security [DHS] officials initially stated - and later repeated for
several days - about the highly charged encounter.
Schanz's account shows how an attempted traffic stop by two ICE agents did not involve the man they ultimately shot, 34-year- old Julio Cesar Sosa-Celis. The newly unsealed records more closely align with witness accounts provided to the Minnesota

A special video #TongueOutTuesday this week.
There’s a dog fountain just like this at a park we walk by all the time which he refuses. But this one at the camping bathroom by this weekend’s hiking trail was a winner 🤷🏼♀️

As if we didn’t know they’re assholes, they’re breaking the gas station code- if you’re not actively fueling, pull out of the fucking bay.
Many friends asking what it is like in Minnesota right now. This video-clip tells. Masked men w/ guns in ordinary places (gas stations, grocery stores, cruising streets) intimidating ordinary people & instilling fear. As a terrorism expert, I think about the logic of government instilling fear.

Yes, immigration agents not only took Arnoldo's phone, the 10th grader had to use Find My Phone to locate it — in a vending machine for used electronics, close to an ICE detention center.

Loving this energy from the Mpls opposition despite personal danger ❤️
