Unfortunately the relative quiet of the last few days is over.

I suppose it's probably just been too cold & windy for them to do much of anything for a few days?

God. I am so fucking angry. All of my love to the people of Minneapolis. Keep resisting. Keep protecting each other. Keep documenting & bearing witness. This is absolutely awful, but there is beauty & joy in the love & support I see people showing each other.

All power to the people. Solidarity forever!

Oh, it’s definitely not Indivisible grilling strangers about opsec

This is all of course in direct, flagrant defiance of the recent court injunction protecting the right of observers to peacefully observe.

Law and order my ass.

Bovino is in the city again, and they always go especially off the rails when he’s here.

I hope that motherfucker gets frostbite and has to have something amputated.

I beg you, wherever you are, to show some kind of solidarity with Minneapolis-St. Paul this Friday:

(1) SHUT DOWN NORMAL: Whatever your normal Friday is, find a way to pause it, interrupt it, halt it…even if only a little. Normal life cannot continue unabated while this is happening. It is intolerable, and we must not tolerate it.

(2) TAKE ACTION: Whether it is marching, yelling, organizing, forming that Signal group, taking that observer training, making connections with neighbors, just having a potluck…do •something•.

Please.

In at least one instance, folks followed one of the people asking these nosy questions back to their car and it was ICE

There’s a lot of circumstantial evidence that ICE is gearing up to directly target schools here. Without getting into details: they are casing schools and posing as community members.

While ICE has already come onto school grounds on a handful of occasions, include the terrible incident at Roosevelt High School, they so far have stopped short of directly targeting schools and schoolchildren.

We expect that to change. Everyone is on high alert.

Unfortunately the relative quiet of the last few days is over. ICE is all over South Minneapolis this morning. They just smashed an observer’s car window and kidnapped them right outside my corner coffee shop.

I feel the need to stress, even though it should go without saying, that the person who was kidnapped out of their car was not obstructing or interfering. They were doing nothing illegal, and nothing wrong. They were part of a caravan following ICE at a safe distance, driving legally, not even stopping their crimes, not even slowing them down — just making sure their crimes were recorded.

ICE appears to be attempting a repeat of the incident that started the thread: swarms of ICE vehicles attempting to box in and capture legal observers

It’s hard for me to imagine more clear-cut defiance of the injunction. These shits are trying to run the legal blockade by pretend pretending it doesn’t even exist — and Bovino is not only fully aware but physically present for it. Contempt of court is completely meaningless at this point; I dare any judge to prove me wrong.

@Fishercat @carsten

I will post a follow-up as soon as I hear anything. One of my neighbors is going through hell right now.

Meanwhile, we’re getting some really disturbing reports in neighborhood chats of ICE dumping injured detainees in parks. We no idea what the hell ICE is doing. This has happened in multiple parks on multiple days in different parts of the city: two confirmed, multiple others who may be part of the pattern. One of them had a fractured skull.

The temperature here has not been above freezing for over a week.

@inthehands It's time for the courts and U.S. Marshalls to decide what side they're on.
