If Brandon Johnson loses reelection, Davis Gates’s influence will slide. But she’s still powerful enough to be a thorn in the side of any mayor she opposes. buff.ly/clI0LbR

Kevin Moore’s favorite Black History Month moment takes us back to the late 1960s when the UFW and the Black Panther Party stood shoulder to shoulder in California to demand justice for working people.

Black history isn’t behind us - it’s a blueprint. And solidarity is still the strategy.

Many of the Hmong residents in Minnesota are here because they (or someone in their family) aided the US military. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History...

Now they're prowling for more "targets." Moving on to the next block, then hopped back in their vehicles again (Bovino's personal bodyguard not leaving his side).

Large caravan just pulled into the Midway neighborhood and have surrounded a house. They knocked but no answer. Bovino is giving an interview outside. Whistles going off and neighbors looking on.

And Greg Bovino just appeared for his usual gas station schtick.

We haven't seen any detentions so far. Feds lined up for a pit stop in this Speedway.

We've watched Border Patrol agents ask several people for identification. Shoppers are beginning to notice their presence. Feds also just gave a quick "thank you, sir" to this Ramsey County sheriff's officer already sitting in the lot.

Agents pulled into this Walmart lot across the road. Walking the lot looking for people to question.

Caravan of around 10 vehicles have linked up in a Target lot and are circling this shopping plaza in Vadnais Heights.

Another caravan circling. Chopper whirring overhead.
