It is day 37 of the ICE occupation of MSP.
A neighbor was murdered by ICE today.
We have no words for the level of heartbreak.
We’ll be out in the streets again tomorrow, all too aware of the risks.
(Also, we’re going to need more whistles.)

Friends, thank you for stepping up! Over $40,000 worth of dash cams have been ordered so far for ICE observers in the Twin Cities!
Early orders are trickling in, but we’re getting them packed and deployed ASAFP - several were installed yesterday, these are ready, and 300+ are on the way!

Your reminder that what happened to Renee Nicole Good is something that happens regularly in America. This is not new, but it is an expanded version of militarized people targeting Black people in particular.
From ICE detention to murder with impunity, we've been doing it. Now it's broadened.

So the GOP of MN have bullied Tim Walz into not running for Governor. The progressives need to shout from the mountains that it is the responsibility of the MN legislature and the The Office of the Legislative Auditor (OLA) to evaluate and audit public programs. The DHS has failed as well.
