A stop sign is posted behind the rightward curve of a guardrail near a bridge over a freeway (out of view). Below the STOP lettering someone has pasted a sticker with stop sign red background and white clock lettering saying ICE. 
Below the octagon of the stop sign itself is a Metro Transit wayfinding sign identifying this location as a stop for the 87 bus.

For the record, this occurred in St Paul. Please stop assuming Minneapolis is the only city affected by the ICE occupation in Minnesota.

Projection Mirror Screenprints Available Thurs, Feb. 12 at 10AMΒ PT Projection is the process of attributing one’s own unacceptable urges to another. For example, if someone continuously bullies and ridicules a peer, the bully might be projecting their own tendencies onto the other person.Β MAGA and ICE supporters will undoubtedly clutch their pearls that these posters would dare label ICE with such inflammatory language, yet these words are the exact words the Trump administration has used to lie to the public, vilify immigrants, and vilify protesters who stand up against ICE’s pervasive brutality.
