NEW: A federal court ruling in Minnesota, which notes ICE agents broke the Fourth Amendment by entering a family's home sans warrant, lands as ICE faces scrutiny over a secret memo claiming their agents can enter homes w/ administrative paperwork alone.
US Judge Rules ICE Raids Require Judicial Warrants, Contradicting Secret ICE Memo
The ruling in federal court in Minnesota lands as Immigration and Customs Enforcement faces scrutiny over an internal memo claiming judge-signed warrants aren’t needed to enter homes without consent.

As tens of thousands of Minnesotans marched in -20 windchills downtown today, tens of thousands more were quietly patrolling every neighborhood across the Cities. The sheer scale of our collective resistance is staggering

Haven’t heard crowd size estimates yet.

I just want people who are seeing the crowd pics to know, every single piece of Mpls infrastructure was strained to the limit today to get people there. I’m able bodied and prepared, was outside for 2 hours and still never made it bc our trains downtown were never meant to be packed like they were.

ICE OUT block party was a huge success. Over 40 neighbors came through in negative double digit temps, bringing chili, hot cocoa, smores, and wood for the fire.

Taking public space, building trust among neighbors, having fun while doing it...this is how we win

We will not be broken.
Demonstrators as far as the eye can see. Current status of the march in Downtown Minneapolis, Minnesota for Ice Out of Minnesota. They are turning onto 3rd Street from 5th Avenue.

Fantastic news!
Just got off the phone with Opus - we stepped up and prevented an ICE facility in our community which would have harmed Minnesotans.

Great work, all!!!

You have to understand, I ride the train during "rush hour" and it's NEVER full. You'll always find a seat. The only time it's busy is Friday nights. This is WILD and WONDERFUL.
I'm on the Green Line towards downtown Minneapolis ICE OUT protest.

The train filled immediately. Even 20 stops away from our destination we reached capacity.

People are cheering at every stop when they see people waiting to board because we are all starting to realize how big this is.

We're lucky to have Kelly
My latest: How Renee Good's murder and paramilitary assaults on US cities reflect longstanding right-wing race war fantasies and Stephen Miller's fixation with a novel about white genocide. I also talk about the stories we tell and live in opposition to these narratives and share a must-reads list.
Choosing Each Other in a Time of Terror
Rather than being disbanded or intimidated by Good’s murder, the people of Minneapolis have been galvanized, escalating their resistance and refusing to retreat from the work of protecting one another...

You can do it on your block now, it's not special or hard, it's how we are supposed to be and it's inside all of us.
We can build beautiful things in the darkest times. I’ve seen this all over the world, in Kurdistan and the Darién Gap and in the mountains and deserts of the borderlands. You can do it on your block now, it’s not special or hard, it’s how we are supposed to be and it’s inside all of us.

Gas was deployed on the lawn of an apartment building where I know small children live, for no reason other than cowardice.

The general strike today, and the Whipple building blockade, and the march downtown - all amazing and incredible turnouts, but nothing is hitting me so hard as the masses of clergy who showed up to the airport to protest this morning. And I'm not even religious.

Cruelty is their goal.
ICE detain yet another minor child—chase him down his own street and tackle him to pavement.

"I am legal! I am legal!" he cries over and over in Spanish.

Agent pins the boy down in snow—he desperately tries to keep his exposed hands from freezing at -25°F wind chill temperature.

Dear neighbor,

There is a lot of ICE activity in South Minneapolis this morning. This includes the Phillips area, Central, and Powderhorn.

If you are an observer, please pair up with someone as we are seeing an escalation of tactics.

Super excited for Strike Day, but my foot may or may not be too swole to fit in my boots. 😅 Guess I'll be making anti-occupation art indoors...
Well, I just stubbed the hell out of my toes and launched the lunch I've been struggling to eat due to the appetite-suppressing combo of Federal Occupation Stress and Couch Fucker Press Junket, spilling all the food across the floor and shattering the plate, making it all inedible. Fun times.
