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.
@inthehands “Innocent until proven guilty,” is fundamentally the legal presumption, even with a far more “normal” government than the pack of lying scumbags we currently face, that what the government says is not to be taken as “true” until it has been proven with evidence. Beyond any reasonable doubt in the case of criminal accusations, and merely by the preponderance of evidence in less weighty matters. The word of a bunch of unethical thugs is insufficient.

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.

@inthehands This is terrifying and part of the facist mof of operating.
My heart goes out to everyone resisting and trying to protect their community and their neighbours.

I will post a follow-up as soon as I hear anything. One of my neighbors is going through hell right now.
@inthehands @Fishercat let me know if the neighborhood needs additional emergency whistles and if there are distribution sites. Happy to drop a hundred or so

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.
It is about time to shut down schools, businesses, everything until any federal related person is handed over to local law enforcement or left the state.

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.
@inthehands I heard from a credible source (here in NY) that ICE agents from here have been spotted in MN.
the resistance keeps databases too!

@inthehands Having talked to a couple judges, their mindset seems to be to never use contempt no matter how bad it gets.
Yet the system can’t hold up w/o it, that’s why it’s there. Violating their oaths of office by not -

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

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.
@inthehands @srvanderplas Those of us outside MN can call our members of Congress to demand that they do not vote for any appropriationS bills that don’t rein in ICE.

@inthehands We're on it here in the UK. Fellow Brits, please share. You may not be able to directly influence events in the USA, but you may be able to inspire and encourage those who can - while sending a clear message to our own government that ICE tactics won't fly here.

@carsten @inthehands @Fishercat Got a bunch of whistles for people in Portland, too, if you dont have pne already. (Printing them is about all I can do at my age

@inthehands Solidarity from Vermont. We have a protest planned for Friday in the "downtown" area of my small town.

@robcinos
They don’t have that money yet. It is absolutely crucial that we pressure the living hell out of Senate Democrats to block ICE funding, which due to procedural technicalities they actually have the power to do right now@inthehands @robcinos
My Senators will block funding.
I don't know how to pressure the ones who often vote with the Republicans. -

Double that sentiment! -

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.

@inthehands Thank you for getting and spreading this information. Being in Germany, there's nothing I can do for direct support but retooting and spreading the information.
I hope you and everyone in Minneapolis and the rest of USA can stay safe and healthy.
Rest assured that the whole world is watching your struggle!
️️Those fascist f**kers will be punished.

A whole bunch of federal judges have decided they’re on the side of democracy: just look at the striking series of injunctions the Trump admin received in 2025.…And then there’s the SCOTUS. This cold civil war extends to the judicial system too.
