We're at the point now where real estate agents (you know, apolitical people who are adjacent to the ownership class) are detailing their illegal detention at the hands of ICE.
This is about as centrist as America comes, even the lilly white TikTok real estate agents are not safe.
They also know that ICE is an existential threat to their capitalist endevours.

Good on-the-ground media sources for the Twin Cities are:

State of Minnesota, Minneapolis and Saint Paul sue to halt ICE surge into Minnesota
"We, along with the State of Minnesota, and the City of Saint Paul, jointly filed a lawsuit to stop the federal government’s unlawful, unconstitutional, and dangerous federal immigration actions in our state.
"We are suing the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, ICE, Customs and Border Protection, and senior federal officials responsible for directing the immigration enforcement surge in the metro area."
Meantime, I hear from friends that a number of #mutualaid hubs in the #TwinCities that are coordinating in resistance to ICE are consciously referring to themselves as “lifehouses,” and if it’s true I could not possibly be prouder.
If there’s anyone on the ground in a position to confirm or deny, do get in touch, but in the meantime please keep right on doing what you’re doing. The struggle continues – but, beloved, never forget that victory is certain. 👊

This morning in #Minneapolis and the surrounding #Minnesota suburbs there's been a sharp increase in #ICE abductions - breaking down doors to kidnap people from their homes, raids on restaurants, and violence against observers in south Minneapolis including breaking an observer's car window and deploying of chemical sprays.
This is 2 days after the beginning of the deployment of an additional 2,000 federal agents to the area - an intensification of the Trump admin's attacks on the Somali community here and upping of the stakes after thousands of locals have made our own deployments in the form of observers, noise demos, know-your-rights crews, and much more.
If you're in the #TwinCities area and aren't already pitching in to protect your neighbors, you need to do so: this is an escalation unlike any ICE activity seen in other cities so far. The number of homeland security agents in the Twin Cities now exceeds the number assigned to the entire state of Arizona.
If you're not local, MN needs your help. Intensify your action against la migra wherever you live; hold demonstrations against the companies that are supporting ICE (hotels, tech spy firms, defense contractors...) wherever you are. Throw wrenches in the gears. Spread them thin so they will regret their attempted occupation of this city.

Resistance researchers, get to work!
