This is a powerful letter from Minneapolis Legislative Delegation asking Mayor Frey to sign Pause Evictions, Save Lives.

16/17 state legislators who represent Minneapolis signed onto this letter. It’s time for Mayor Frey to sign this ordinance and support our immigrant neighbors.

MPD's "duty to intervene" is meaningless when his police force worked through the last few months without a single intervention. He should just acknowledge there was no amount of lawlessness federal agents could've done that would have triggered an intervention.

The elected officials who rep a majority of the city have to beg Jacob Frey to not veto an extension in eviction notices. @Jacob_Frey who rode the wave of our collective suffering on his national PR tour, the most vulnerable in our city have to beg Jacob Frey to not impede help.

Honestly impressed with Lan - as a Lynx fan it was fun to watch her step on the gas

β€œWe Belong to Each Other Now”: Lessons from Minneapolis β€œThis extreme closeness, togetherness and intimacy β€” you cannot infiltrate your way into a space where you'll understand that," says May, a rapid responder in Minneapolis.

After months of relentless rapid response in Minneapolis, members of Defend the 612 had a moment to breathe and reflect on the lessons they’ve learned, the grief they carry, and the citywide fellowship they hope will endure. The crisis is not over, and I’m grateful they made time to speak with me.

Can you help me out and tell me the Sue dirt? Is she standing in the way of the players - not supporting them? I live in mpls and have been focusing on neighborhood support and resilience and haven't been able to pay much attention to who's supporting the union vs the owners (i know she's an owner)

Today we are launching a new intitative of Stand With Minnesotaβ€”KeepMNHoused.com, a rent-relief campaign backed with a $1.5 matching fund from the Wilson Foundation.

Thousands of MN families are at risk of eviction because of the ICE occupation’s lasting impacts. We can keep them housed.

Just a big hug to all the anarchists in the Twin Cities who get dismissed all the time but knew exactly what to do when shit went down here.

An interesting bit in Border Czar Homan's news conference today is he touted more than 200 arrests under USC 111 (assaulting, resisting, or impeding certain officers). That figure would include this 76-year-old who was pepper sprayed in the face for yelling at an agent

Someone was abducted at 10 AM by ICE on Central Ave. Their coworker says they’ve lived here for over 20 years, are documented, and have 3 kids who were born here.

Don’t be fooled by headlines when they’ve been lying to us the whole time. We still need you out patrolling until every agent is gone.

I’m so proud of our community who are still out here supporting our neighbors. Let me be very clear, when this operation ends, it will be because of the resiliency of our immigrant community, who has shown the world what it looks like to be resilient, and our neighbors who will never give up. 1/

This morning 5 ICE vehicles parked illegally in a bike lane and in MPD parking spots directly outside of City Hall. Myself and several other Council Members and city staff went outside to observe them and blew our whistles to alert people nearby. After about 45 minutes they left

Big news for Minnesota! From 2024 to 2025 we gained residents from domestic migration for the first time in almost a decade.

Extra exciting because this is the first year of data following historic public investments made during the 2023 legislative session πŸ‘ŠπŸŽ‰

1/ ProPublica collected handwritten letters in mid-January from children held at the Dilley Immigration Processing Center, the same facility where 5-year-old Liam Conejo Ramos was taken.

Hundreds of kids are still detained.

We’ll let the children’s words speak for themselves. 🧡
