Minnesota sues Trump administration for evidence in Good, Pretti killings It’s the latest and most drastic legal maneuver by state officials to try to gain access to federal evidence from shootings during Operation Metro Surge.

ICE killed Silverio Villegas González 4 months before Good & Pretti. No officials in Illinois are doing things like this.

Temco drivers unionize despite stiff opposition — a first for a Home Depot subsidiary “We did have management telling us that we were going to lose our jobs and would shut down.”

For the first time ever, workers at a Home Depot company have unionized.

Drivers who deliver building materials for Home Depot’s Temco subsidiary have voted to join the Teamsters.

They did so despite a vicious anti-union campaign from Home Depot and Temco.

IMAGE: a stylized cell phone with flames coming out of it. TEXT: Delete the Starbucks app off your phone. Seriously. Starbucks is the biggest violator of labor law in modern history. We have the power to tell them union-busting is bad for business. Don't shop at Starbucks until they do better by their baristas!

If Starbucks won’t respect workers at the bargaining table, they don’t deserve our clicks or orders.

Our call to action is simple:

📱 Delete the Starbucks app. #DeleteTheApp

Twin Cities tow truck driver returns abandoned vehicles to families after ICE arrests Juan Leon sends a "chase" car to check out where abandoned vehicles are located and arranges discreet drop-offs. Since late December, he estimated they have dropped off 250 cars.

ICE has grabbed so many people from their vehicles that there are abandoned cars across Minnesota.

This tow truck driver returns the cars for free as a public service, and he’s been getting death threats.

They hate the helpers.

Which is why must keep helping.

This is a political stunt. There are still over 2000 agents actively terrorizing our communities.

🗣️ We said ICE out of our neighborhoods — all of them, now.
