Open questions remain, and we're in communication with witnesses & SPPD to get those questions answered. If the city finds that any laws—at all—were broken by ICE, SPPD needs to hold those agents accountable. If you have any information, please share it with us here or at [email protected].

The Star Tribune and other media outlets must stop using the term “immigration crackdown” in connection with Immigration and Customs Enforcement, Customs and Border Patrol and other Department of Homeland Security agency actions in Minnesota (for example, “Twin Cities immigration crackdown delays home construction, slows real estate market,” StarTribune.com, Feb. 9). The same reporting regularly finds that the vast majority of people arrested in these sweeps are being illegally detained, since they typically have proper immigration status or are full citizens. It’s not a crackdown if these supposed law enforcement agencies are intentionally missing the target so much of the time and choosing to inflict collateral damage instead. This is state terrorism against citizens and legal residents, and the false “crackdown” framing only lends legitimacy to clearly unconstitutional actions. Michael Hicks, Minneapolis

A run-down of the different Twin Cities rotisserie chickens feels like it could be a fun @racketmn.com column to distract from The Horrors
