Minneapolis General Strike: Lessons For The Next Round - PopularResistance.Org
The first week of January, Trump sent 2,000 ICE paramilitary agents into Minneapolis, targeting Somali neighborhoods, along with Hmong and Latine communities, and turning the city into a domestic war zone. Minneapolis’ working-class communities responded with an ICE Watch network — thousands of people tracking raids, filming arrests, and rushing to protect each other, often armed with nothing more than Signal chats and tin whistles.
