This is what happened in our neighborhood yesterday. ICE snatched a human being off of our streets, roughed them up badly, and then pepper sprayed legal observers as they documented it all. This is a daily occurrence happening all throughout Minnesota right now.

Their behavior is utterly inhumane.

In Morristown, New Jersey, ICE abandoned a six-year-old girl on the side of a busy road after abducting and disappearing her father on January 18, 2026.

Nations are not toys. Borders are not rewards. A man who treats peace like a trophy tells you everything. Greenland is not a consolation prize. NATO is not his to shape or destroy. The world is not his grievance. Power, when it sulks, becomes evil. He must be impeached.

“The nurses told me that if I walk out I’m not going to be able to come back and find her,” said Shelly (the detained woman’s daughter). “Because I’ll look for her name, I’ll ask for her name, and she will not be in the system and they’ll tell me she’s not here.”

The problem of expanding the smash and grabs to include all people who don't look American enough, regardless of citizenship or immigration status, is it becomes obvious we're not debating immigration policy. It's a government campaign of racialized, militarized street thuggery and harassment.

Photo by Pierre Lavie. Yes this is me. And I threw my Leica. It landed on the bass plate with hardly a scratch. Another Photographer grabbed it along with my phone and I was able to track him later. I was held face down tear gas deployed right in front of me and pepper sprayed directly into the eye.
