Federal agents pinned a man to the ground in south Minneapolis and sprayed him with chemical irritants directly in the face.
Minnesota Star Tribune photographer Rich Tsong-Taatarii did not witness the man put his hands on agents.

WHO IS RUNNING YOUR COMMS?!
I joined agriculture leaders from across the state today in Mankato for the Minnesota Ag Expo. Minnesota farmers are the backbone of our economy, and we must ensure they have what they need to thrive—strong markets and stable trade policies.

The two people I saw get brutalized by ICE today attempting to stop the abduction of two of our neighbors were gender non-conforming people. There were several visible and clocky trans and queer people there. We are turning out for our neighbors.

There's a lot going on right now, from the federal occupation by ICE, to elections for public office up and down the ballot. But if you're the kind of person who also cares about the weird nerds who run for party office, I have an announcement - I'm running for CD5 DFL Chair.🧵

Federal agents abduct two teenagers (15 & 16) from a doctor's appointment
At one point, it appears an agent tases one of the children

Every day some story breaks me some. Today it’s the guy who approached parents at a school patrol, told them he was with Indivisible, and asked about how the patrol system works. The parents gave vague answers, followed him back to his car — and of course it was ICE.

Moriarty: "A police officer of color who was off duty was boxed in by ICE - she's a citizen - they demanded to know who she was & see her papers. She was going to try to record it & they ripped the phone out of her hand. That happened to a cop. That's what's happening here on the streets of MN."

He goes on to describe one of his officers being stopped when she was off-duty solely because she's non-white, harassed by ICE goons who slapped her phone out of her hand as she tried to record, only to be let go when she finally revealed she was a cop.

We cannot normalize this federal occupation of Minneapolis.
It is not normal to watch people abducted in front of our eyes—dragged from car windows, pulled from their homes, and children left without parents.
This is not about immigration. It’s about unchecked cruelty.
