After detainments and deportations, the lives left behind in Minnesota From abandoned possessions to unpaid rent, many Minnesotans had to lean on family, friends and community organizations for help with their unfinished business.

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.

A few weeks ago when I asked for your help, 100+ of you kicked in. Yesterday, I heard from just one person! (Shoutout to that fine individual.)

We're connecting families to bigger orgs for more sustainable services, but it takes time. We need one more month of funds to bridge the gap. Please help!

Reposting bc I can't stop thinking about the fact that, as a homeowner, I apparently deserve more than 6 months if I am in crisis and need to figure out how to get the money together to stay in my housing but my neighbors who rent apparently only deserve 30 days.

An opinion that makes you a fringe radical in this country is that the life of a person who is not an American citizen is not an abstraction, and is worth just as much as that of an American citizen

β€œimmigrant communities attacked by the federal government will lose their homes” if mayor frey vetoes the bill to prevent evictions, says osman. β€œwe have been attacked. a lot of immigrants were not able to go to work, even US citizens. vetoing this means you are not standing with the immigrants.”

Since the national media stopped paying attention to Minnesota, donations have absolutely cratered. There's so much more work to be done. Please ... don't look away.

Minnesota immigrant families are coming out of hiding from ICE, but the damage is done: jobs lost, savings gone, loved ones deported.

Recovery will take time. My neighbor group is still providing mutual aid to 44 households. Can you help?

Melt ICE, by Minnesota Artists United Against ICE 110 track album

This was just mentioned, first I had heard about it. 110 songs from Minnesota artists, and money raised goes to mutual aid efforts. It's bandcamp Friday and your dollars will go even further today!

Stand With Minnesota Stand With Minnesota is a hub for supporting, learning, and taking action to support Minnesotans impacted by ICE and federal enforcement.

Our little standwithminnesota.com team staved off multiple evictions today. I’m so proud of us. And the stories are so heartbreaking, and there’s still so much need.

If you can help, I’ll get it directly where it needs to go.

Sign up to pay a rent directly or send funds to my Venmo so our team can pay more rents. πŸ’œπŸŒ»πŸ’œ

I went through and added up the total paid rents through our adopt-a-rent program, and it is 329 families for $463,217. All peer-to-peer, no fundraising. Just neighbors helping each other out.

If you want to adopt a family, and can afford to give $500 or more, signal me at asiniiwiikwe.72

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.

I am so excited by all the fundraising I'm seeing (thank you, thank you) ... but have no clue where to send families who actually need help with rent.

Am I missing a page somewhere?

Crowdfunded generosity isn’t taxable – but IRS regulations haven’t kept up with the growth of mutual aid Some Americans are discovering that monetary help they received from friends, neighbors or even strangers may be treated as taxable income.

Thousands of Americans who receive GoFundMe donations or Venmo transfers after a medical crisis got hit with tax forms treating gifts as income. The IRS rules haven't caught up with the explosion in peer-to-peer giving, according to researchers who study crowdfunding. buff.ly/zhtybRf

Minnesota school districts say federal agents still causing daily disruptions School leaders say that ICE activity is continuing to interrupt daily life for students, staff and families despite the announced end of the two-month surge of federal immigration agents.

ICE activity continues to interrupt daily life for students, staff and families, despite the announced end of the two-month surge of federal immigration agents. Students attend school remotely, staff monitor arrival and dismissal, and leaders wonder when they can resume normal school operations.
