On my way to pick up my kids from school an hour ago, an ICE convoy passed by - windows down - with at least one agent yelling "keep blowing your whistles!"

Two minutes later they stopped at 37th and Central Ave and kidnapped someone at a gas station.

Here's a longer video of the incident involving Minneapolis City Councilmember @elliottpayne.org last night in NE Minneapolis, including ICE agents acting erratically with tasers.

"Have you all not learned from the past couple of days?"

This video was filmed yesterday in St. Louis Park, MN — a nearby suburb of Minneapolis. I do not know the person who filmed it, but this incident is very clear and terrifying example of what has been happening here over the past week or so.

Welcome to Minnesota, fuckers. Also this is super disturbing because the ICE agent's assault rifle appears to fire as he falls down.

This was filmed by a friend near Chicago and Lake last night.

This is what it looks like when the entire neighborhood is willing to defend each other.

I love Northeast Minneapolis with all my heart.

This convoy ended up passing right by my house. One legal observer was taken near 24th and Central.

I just watched two women get kidnapped right in front of me in Northeast Minneapolis.

ICE is still terrorizing our city.

Hurricane Melissa will make landfall in Jamaica in a few hours as one of the two strongest hurricanes ever to make landfall anywhere in the Atlantic Basin -- on par with the 1935 Labor Day hurricane in south Florida.

Just horrific. The stuff of nightmares.
