Yesterday, the federal government filed sworn statements in our case Hussen v. Noem. The statements reveal the number of Operation Metro Surge (OMS) agents currently deployed in Minnesota and the number of OMS agents projected to be deployed in our state into March.
New research with @aaronsojourner.org of the @upjohninstitute.bsky.social posted on @northstarpolicy.org's blog. We find that Operation Metro Surge caused declines in employees working, hours worked, and businesses open, leading to an estimated $106 million wage loss for Twin Cities workers.
@smith.senate.gov after her guest, teacher Brenda Lewis, shared how ICE terrorizing her community has been impacting the students:
"Brenda and her educators should be figuring out how our kids should be learning. Instead, they are pressed into this relentless effort to keep our students safe."
ACLU MN reported yesterday that the federal government filed sworn statements that there are 970 agents in Minnesota for Operation Metro Surge & that 407 agents will remain here in March. It’s important to note this is on top of the 190 agents that were already assigned before this surge started.
Reminder: Minnesotans already voted down Voter ID in 2012. Stop trying to make it happen. #SOTU
We launched an Olympics TV ad buy today, highlighting how Trump’s immigration operation has hurt MN families & demanding accountability from conservatives. Check it out abetterminnesota.org/christin-sto... #mnleg #mngov
HAPPENING NOW: DHS just expedited Liam Conejo Ramos' asylum hearing to this morning, meaning it's possible the five-year-old and his family could be deported as soon as today.

People are still being profiled.
People are still being wrongfully detained.
People still can’t go to work or school out of fear.
Do not look away and do not buy any political spin coming out of DHS.
ICE OUT OF MINNESOTA.
Predicting that this week we’ll hear more conciliatory words from the Administration regarding Minnesota (since they’re starting to realize that ICE has become politically toxic) but everyone outside of Minnesota needs to know that nothing on the ground has changed.
No beds. No nurse. No answer on how many people in custody.
U.S. Rep. Kelly Morrison details what she saw at Whipple over the weekend:
These are Minnesotans. We want them to come back. We want this to be a place they would want to return to.

Trump's ICE agents have abducting, abusing, & unjustly detaining Minnesotans, Trump's approval ratings are at their lowest, but that's not stopping Lisa Demuth from STILL seeking his endorsement #mngov
I wrote about my childhood friend Alexi Pretti. Please read it and share it and remember him as a human being. @theverge.com
Conservative #mngov candidates Lisa Demuth, Mike Lindell, Kendall Qualls, and Scott Jensen have yet to denounce the attack against Rep. Ilhan Omar
This is very important. Leaders will say one thing, community will experience something else.
The woman in the pink coat who witnessed Border Patrol agents kill Alex Pretti says the agents "were looking at us and laughing" after the shooting.

A 2-year-old’s detention is part of an accelerating trend of what an attorney describes as ICE agents sending children and adults with legal immigration status out of state to avoid dealing with accountability from the federal court system.
From Today. Literally nothing has changed on the ground in Minnesota besides the average height of the secret police.
Here's what ICE is up to in Northeast Minneapolis today. Absolutely heartbreaking.
Warning: video is hard to watch
A federal judge has blocked deportation, for now, of 5-year-old Liam Conejo Ramos, the PRE-SCHOOLER with the red Spider-Man backpack and blue hat with floppy bunny ears who ICE agents nabbed on the street and used as bait to nab his dad in Minneapolis. www.huffpost.com/entry/ice-ki...
ICE deported a 5-year-old US citizen to Honduras, where she had never been, after holding her & her mother in a hotel room 80 miles from home for several days and not allowing them access to a lawyer www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...
The GOAT
Cable news needs to stop putting Noem and Bovino on TV. Stop being complicit in the misinformation campaign.
Target Center dunkers wear “ICE OUT” t-shirts
There’s video floating around. You don’t want to watch it.

Well, JD Vance just gave us all a master class in gaslighting & lying through your teeth
They also need to stop calling what's happening "immigrant enforcement" because it never was that. Ever.
