“U.S. District Judge Donovan Frank ordered the release of Herrera Berrios because the federal government provided no evidence it had a warrant to arrest him.” Yet these violent agents got a Sheriff’s escort to abduct him and violate his due process. Truly shameful stuff under Witt’s watch.
A judge has ordered the release of an 18-year-old who was detained by federal agents in a chaotic scene inside the Hennepin County Government Center last week.

We reviewed more than 100 Minnesota license plates attached to immigration enforcement vehicles in recent weeks.
We found that nearly 60% were not registered with the state of Minnesota, including the Chevy Tahoe that federal agent Jonathan Ross traveled in the day he fatally shot Renee Good.

The city has spent ~$5M above budget in the past month to deal with the occupation, with roughly $130k per day going to MPD overtime. So when mod CMs/the mayor tell you that we can’t afford rent relief, they’re telling you that they prefer to spend your tax dollars on this instead.
Happening Now: 20+ law enforcement vehicles, including a Minneapolis Police SWAT Bearcat, are staged on SE Beacon St as a noise demo has started at the Graduate Hotel. This is the 4th noise demo at the Graduate and one of multiple noise demos tonight outside hotels housing ICE agents in Minneapolis.

I, like many of the people I represent, am horrified by recent events in Minnesota and am pushing for a transparent, independent investigation into the shooting deaths of Alex Pretti and Renee Good.

Hennepin County Sheriff Dawanna Witt needs to stop assisting ICE. It’s very clear that the sheriff’s department has been harassing, intimidating, arresting and coming out in force to assist ICE. They have been using force against neighbors who are working to protect our immigrant neighbors. 2/

Here is a video taken just this morning of ICE pepper spraying my friend who was standing several feet away, and behind a fence, from agents attempting an abduction.
Nothing about their conduct has changed. We need to continue our observations but please do so as safely as possible.
Fuck ICE.

Very little if anything seems to have changed on the ground. ICE is still out there terrorizing neighborhoods and trying to disappear neighbors. None of us on the ground are buying this bullshit. We will keep organizing and fighting.
The intense fallout from the killing of Alex Pretti has forced President Trump to publicly change course in Minneapolis.
Listen to our White House reporters discuss the changes on today's episode of "The Daily."
