A day after Frey vetoed pre-eviction notice, two ICE vehicles are parked in MPD parking outside City Hall. My assumption would be that they’re here to meet with the mayor’s administration.

We’re still under occupation.

how much overtime was accrued by hennepin county sheriff's office deputies doing crowd control at the whipple building?

It's day 100 of the ICE occupation of MN.

For 100 days, this community has done everything in our power to protect and care for our neighbors.

And today, Jacob Frey failed to do the bare minimum and give neighbors time to recover and put their lives back together.

We'll be 🔗 some 🧵 below.

This site needs a break. Post 3 good things, none of which are the cessation of a negative.

1. Community (the concept or the show)
2. Bikes
3. Gardening

Can we consider this piece for a minute? A journalist friend and I just hopped on the phone to make sure we were seeing the same thing: A story about a boycott initiated by Minneapolis' Nekima Levy-Armstrong that has supposedly been declared over by Black activists in other parts of the country.

Yeah, we need to talk about the mayors actions today? Kind of loses trust with the entire community. Sends the message accountability doesn’t matter.

Really needs a better system with better support and less stress. That on top of recent events aren’t great.

Actually hilarious to get caught trying to lie this bad, hope whatever Target slid their way was worth it

As of yesterday (3/10/2026), between 70-80 new Tahoes have been delivered to the Whipple Federal Building in Minneapolis, Minnesota.

We may be done with ICE, but ICE does not seem to be done with us.

[Thx to Lee Stedman for the film from which I was able to capture this screenshot.]

Mass Incarceration: The Whole Pie 2026 The big picture on how many people are locked up in the United States and why

The number of people detained by ICE rose by an astonishing 58% (25,200) between 2025 and 2026; expanded immigration detention accounts for virtually all of the growth in mass incarceration since our last report. www.prisonpolicy.org/reports/pie2...

Both essentially telling their cities to go fuck themselves. I’m tired. It really feels intentional at this point.

Wearing this today.

Fuck you Jacob Frey and all the shitty people that voted for you.

Everyone get working on Eviction defense.

My little mutual aid team has fundraised over $250,000 in rent support over the last 3 months JUST for families at our neighborhood school.

$1 million for the whole city does NOT come close to meeting the scale and depth of need in our city.

Fuck Frey. This is unacceptable & will cause harm.

I agree with this and it's something for which community groups should already be developing concrete plans. I think reparations are already due.

In case you wondered, intersectionality is important.

Shifting rapid response observation to law enforcement observation where relevant matters in every city.

Legislators won't have necessary time to distribute these funds to our neighbors.

They should not know peace.

Have we considered that might be the point?

I won’t be going back. Target has been a safe haven for ICE and that’s unforgivable. ICE continues to feel safest in the Quarry Target parking lot and using their handicap spots without intervention.

Don’t shop at Target, shop at immigrant owned businesses and co-ops instead.

How are they supposed to keep us safe when they can’t be held accountable?

I mean, if you just say MN and not MPLS, you get a lot more sales from people who might otherwise feel miffed that Minneapolis is getting the attention (again). Saint Paul, Roseville, Burnsville, Shakopee, and a lot of other suburbs were hit too.

The Minnesota resistance exposed the Orwellian frauds of the administration • Minnesota Reformer This may be the beginning of the end of Trump’s ability to assert whatever version of reality he wants.

Commentary: Minnesota’s resistance to the ICE surge cracked the Trump reality bubble. The air started leaking out, and the truth in.

When they told us to reject the evidence in front of our eyes, we kept recording. minnesotareformer.com/2026/03/11/t...

Oh, are you proposing universal basic income, and universal healthcare? Eviction moratorium?

That would be a great step.

Les Milles Camp | Holocaust Encyclopedia Under the Vichy regime, the Les Milles camp held foreign Jews before emigration or, in most cases, deportation to German concentration camps and killing centers.

ICE converting warehouses to deportation camps reminds me of Les Milles, a tile factory that was converted to an infamous deportation camp and prison by the French Vichy regime. Thousands of "enemy aliens" were imprisoned here, many of them were sent from there to Auschwitz and Dachau.
