Woman shot and killed by ICE in Minnesota- potential legal action and outcome of investigation.

Whitewavemark2 I knew I'd read that before but couldn't think where.
Oh my goodness!

Scary isn’t it?

Yes.
😟

Thanks petra, incompetent indeed.

Yes, the mega funding bill passed. ICE will have much, much more money. Seven Democrats voted with the Republicans. One Republican voted against.

The front page of the Minnesota times.

She looks like she is dangerous. /s Being held down by 2 ICE agents while being sprayed directly into her eyes.

They have already blinded 2 people.

Oops. Star Tribune

@imaround

Is it too early yet to know how this action is going?

The Minnesota general strike.

No. IMO it will continue until ICE leaves the city. I keep hearing rumors of other cities, bit nothing I can prove yet.

Trump is not interested in doing the right thing. He wants to start a civil war IMO.

Seven Democrats voted with the Republicans.
Why, just why?

imaround I'm praying your nightmare will end soon, without a bloody revolution.

"The White House posted a photo on social media that was digitally altered to make it look like a protester was sobbing as she was arrested in connection with a protest against U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement at a Minnesota church."

They ARE watching hospitals. Despite what the government says.

I really can’t believe these dreadful stories, I mean what kind of depraved audacity dwells in the minds of those who authorise these detentions. To say they are immoral is just not strong enough. Evil is what this is.
A Stephen King kind of evil that up until now I thought was purely fiction.
Stay safe.

It was -20F in Minneapolis today.

I have been listening to a podcast broadcast from Minneapolis through this past week, and I am beginning to fear and understand just how serious this could become.

Two instances of many others, just thus week. A 5 year old was snatched from the streets and sent it is thought to Texas - but not clear. An elderly man was snatched from what looked like his bed, wearing only boxer shorts with a blanket slung over his shoulders - but mostly naked - in -minus temperatures.

All without warrant. And it isn’t just immigrants that are being targeted. Ordinary citizens are frightened and being picked up for no apparent reason. School busses are being chased by ICE

This is truly the actions of a gestapo.

It is now being thought that Minneapolis is serving as a Guinea pig for the whole of the USA, and if Trump can get it to work there he intends to use it as a model to spread authoritarianism through a country which was once the land of the free.

But we must never be complacent - we know that when USA sneezes the U.K. catches cold. Two of our political parties have indicated that they intend to introduce the same regime.

We live in scary times.

And take into account that individuals are dying in the holding centres, with no oversight.

Another court found that the administration is just making stuff up to deport people.

"Newly unsealed court documents show the Trump administration did not have evidence that Tufts University PhD student Rümeysa Öztürk was supporting terrorist activity when she was arrested and her visa was revoked, and the action was taken because of an opinion article she wrote that contained criticisms of Israel.

The documents, related to legal cases of students whose visas were revoked by Secretary of State Marco Rubio and who were threatened with deportation last year, also show the administration found it difficult to find evidence to support the revocation of Öztürk’s visa."

How many grown men does it take to subdue a five year old? This whole thing is truly terrifying. Whatever menace Trump may be to the rest of the Western world, clearly things are so much worse back home. This looks like state backed terrorsim.

But... They are only picking up the worst of the worst. The criminals ok? Nothing to see here. /s

Looks like ICE is ramping up in Maine and I saw stories of Pennsylvania preparing. In my own state, we are seeing ICE ramp up and people are already starting to form watch groups and patrols.

I am afraid it is about to be the wild west out here. This is when we could see the 2nd Amendment come into play.

Keep posting imaround and keep safe.
Appreciate the information.

I found it difficult to read so will post a link to the story, imaround

www.nationalheraldindia.com/international/us-immigration-agents-detain-two-year-old-and-father-in-minnesota-defy-court-order-before-release

From the link:
The judge noted that the toddler had no criminal history and that her continued detention posed a serious risk.
She's two years old 😲

This is an interesting substack article. It is exactly what I am seeing here in the US.

Citizens are arming themselves. Local law enforcement and National Guard have been told to wear green safety vests so that people can distinguish them from ICE.

"In October 2024, a team at the University of Pennsylvania’s Center for Ethics and the Rule of Law (CERL) ran a tabletop exercise simulating how a modern American civil war might begin. The scenario was chillingly specific: a president orders a highly unpopular federal law-enforcement operation in a major city. Local officials resist. Courts freeze. Federal agents clash with state authorities. The exercise, led by professor Claire Finkelstein, was meant as a warning. By January 2026, it had become a blueprint for reality."
