Tomorrow City Council will be taking up “Pause Evictions, Save Lives” to temporarily increase the required notice for eviction to 60 days to give families an extra month to make rent.
No family should have to choose between keeping a roof over their head and risking being kidnapped by ICE.

This is action EVERY city in the country can take. If your hotels cooperate with ICE, goodbye liquor revenue.

Abolish ICE.
There’s no reforming it.
There’s no compromise.
There’s only one way to rein in ICE’s terror campaign. Abolish it.

Target is Minnesota’s 4th largest employer. For months Target has stayed silent as ICE abducts our neighbors and murders legal observers–all while looking the other way as ICE stages in Target parking lots.

@governorwalz.mn.gov rent is due today. You are not powerless. You can minimize these abductions and violence to residents of this state by letting people shelter-in until this federal occupation is over. Enact an eviction moratorium now.
They’re taking kids from Minnesota and sending them to detention camps. They’re shooting American citizens in the street and locking investigators out of the crime scenes. The world is watching what happens next.
Hundreds of people spelled out the distress signal "SOS" on Bde Maka Ska in Minneapolis on Friday, Jan. 30.

Journalists Georgia Fort and Don Lemon were taken into custody for covering a protest—an attack on the First Amendment.
The charges are unclear. That’s the point. This is intimidation to silence resistance against Trump’s cruel immigration and unjust agenda.
Free them all. Drop the charges ✊🏾.

We need elected leaders at all levels of government to do the same.

Border Czar Bovino leaving MPLS doesn’t change the fact that we still have 2,000+ ICE agents occupying our city. Ordinary people in our community are meeting the moment, but we need our elected officials to do the same.

So for Dems, the win is: reiterating 3 things that are already law, 1 thing that is a best practice, and 1 thing that was already a rule up until 6 months ago?
From the bottom of my heart: fuck off with this.
And they didn't even include ICE out of hospitals, healthcare facilities and daycares.

Dems coalescing around 5 restrictions on ICE, I'm told:
DHS required to cooperate with state probes (big)
CBP stays at border
warrants for arrests
IDs, bodycams
ICE out of churches, schools
"That package unites a lot of Dems," Sen Chris Murphy tells me on the pod:

ICE has been back at it with their illegal activity today. Abducting multiple neighbors in the Ward, physically assaulting observers, coming into businesses threatening that they will be back to arrest people for no reason.
If they come back today, they’re going to have to go through me first.

People power got Bovino out of Minnesota, but ICE is still here, and people are still being targeted and taken.
The observers, the food deliveries, the school patrols, everyone organizing–the shift in tactics by the Trump admin is only happening because of you.

Over 1,600 evictions have been filed throughout Minnesota from January 1 through January 23.
Filings for January rent have increased dramatically in the past week.
February rent is due soon.
It is still extremely dangerous for our neighbors to be out in public.

ICE's ongoing violent and lawless occupation of Mpls has torn apart families, destabilized our neighborhoods, and violated the freedoms of Minnesotans across our state–including the murder of Renee Good and Alex Pretti.
But ICE's occupation also comes at staggering cost: $18 million per week.

The officer who shot Alex worked for DHS for 8 years. The officer who shot Renee worked for DHS for over 10 years. Both are considered “highly trained.”
The problem isn’t "training." DHS was built to violate our rights and has been empowered to act with impunity. We must MELT ICE and dismantle DHS.
