Happening now: a large group of mostly clergy — primarily local faith leaders, some not — are staging an anti-ICE protest at the Minneapolis airport.

Solidarity with all workers everywhere. An attack on one is an attack an all.

ICE Faces Outcry After Autistic 5-Year-Old Girl Surrounded by Agents During Arrest Attempt A Massachusetts family and their lawyer allege ICE used their autistic five-year-old daughter to pressure her parents into surrendering to federal immigration authorities — claims the Department of Ho...

A 5-year-old autistic girl was surrounded and detained by ICE goons without a warrant using her as bait to target her parents.

When the mother said, "Give me my daughter back."

An agent responded, "Nope, you’re going to have to come out here and get her."

The child has been referred to therapy.

Thousands come out to Minneapolis ICE leave the state. Clergy are arrested in a civil disobedience calling for ICE out of Minnesota.

Thousands outside Terminal 1 at the Minneapolis airport now.

Ironically these kinds of threats do more to radicalize opposition to ICE tactics than they do to stop people from recording ICE.

if you vote for another cent for this you are a collaborator. this is a litmus test for every politician for the rest of my life

I don’t think people quite understand that the occupation by ICE in the Twin Cities has more or less erased non-white people from public life. They cannot safely exist in any space accessible to the public and moving between private places leaves folks vulnerable to kidnapping by armed masked goons.

‘ELITE’: The Palantir App ICE Uses to Find Neighborhoods to Raid Internal ICE material and testimony from an official obtained by 404 Media provides the clearest link yet between the technological infrastructure Palantir is building for ICE and the agency’s activit...

It's great more and more folks are talking about ICE. But more and more people need to start talking about the private sector making their crimes possible. One key culprit?

Palantir which is working on a tool for ICE to help them find deportation targets www.404media.co/elite-the-pa...

Some of the stories in here are absolutely chilling. One US citizen of Somali descent was just riding an elevator with ICE agents and then they detained him for almost half an hour in the freezing cold despite him showing agents his passport card. They only let him go once protestors showed up.

People don't realize how much corporations are collaborating with—and making possible—ICE's deportation machine

Last year when I wrote about prison staff jumping ship for ICE, I reported that BOP had lost a net of at least 1400 employees by late fall.

I just got new data showing they lost a net of ~1700 by mid-December -- though w/EOY retirements the final 2025 figures will likely be higher.

Avelo Airlines says it will stop flying deportation flights for DHS later this month, calling the program too costly & operationally complex.

The company will close its Mesa, AZ base tied to deportation flights on 🗓 Jan. 27

For a literal decade the official CBP policy has been “don’t stand in front of or behind vehicles” because the decade before that their internally commissioned studies found that agents were putting themselves in front of vehicles so as to shoot the occupants

Or CBP. Much of the enforcement we are seeing in the interior is a result of increased presence of CBP and former Border Patrol agents who have terrorized border communities for decades. We have long accepted abusive policies implemented at the border thinking it will protect people in the interior.

Ending the Avelo contract with DHS also a big win. And a place where, as with many fights against logistical networks, local action against a national or international problem can be surprisingly effective. New Haven is its biggest airport! And they got the mayor against the airline.

#ICE is LITERALLY in every corner of the Twin Cities right now. In case you don't know, here are the areas with the confirmed sightings as of 1/9/26 at 11:00pm: - Apple Valley/Burnsville/Eagan - Richfield/Bloomington - Midway/Frogtown - Como/Dale - East side/Maplewood - North Minneapolis - Shoreview Arden Hills - Blaine - Columbia Heights - Shakopee/Prior Lake - Inver Grove Heights - West St. Paul - South Saint Paul - Lakeville - Brooklyn Park/Brooklyn Center PLEASE stay safe! They are detaining and harassing US citizens so if you can help it, STAY HOME!

ICE is currently raiding an apartment complex near my home in Savage. Lots of children screaming. This is completely unnecessary. I'm certain these people being terrorized are hard working, law abiding individuals.

&S!#% &S!#% My brother's construction site was raided by ICE this morning and 6 people were taken (they came after he left to a new site so he didn't get taken, but some of the crew did). MN companies need to do a better job at protecting their employees. They know ICE is present visibily in the Twin Cities so they need to not send their employees to work until ICE ain't roaming the streets!! &$!#% &S!#%

Ice is on 24th right by the resource center just started beating on someone for being under a blanket @highlight And if you question me saying this I witnessed it with my own eyes! They headed Southeast. White Jeep wagoneer grayish blue I think Toyota minivan

if you want to know what it is like in minneapolis, I don’t even have to scroll on facebook to find a horror story. it’s basically my whole feed.

everyone i know in minneapolis is seeing ICE take people—at gas stations, taquerias, bus stops, schools. just snatching random people.

Practical Ways to Support Minneapolis if you live Outside Minneapolis a hastily written announcement + a call to resist white saviorism narratives

An important read with some local support options from @thegenerouspine.blacksky.app: sorrelvirginiahester.substack.com/p/practical-...

Everything happening now has a precedent. This is not new. Please understand that everything happening now is very American. The only change is that it is happening on camera to middle income white people. Ask BIPOC and low income white people about abuses by the state.

The elephant in the room, of course, is that if Democrats like Frey really do want ICE out of Minneapolis, they’re going to have to support policies that take away their money and power, that defund them, you might say.

Abolish ICE is just the beginning For Renee Nicole Good, we need a revolution.

The abolition of ICE is now the bare minimum.

The execution of Renee Nicole Good lays bare the necessity of a full reckoning with the systems of violence and oppression.

These structures are beyond reform, they require revolution.
