- Reposted by KayA lot more people should know about the bravery Marimar Martinez displayed in the midst of Chicago’s occupation and the murder of two observers in MSP. They tried to kill her, shooting her 5 times, and it’s a miracle she’s alive to push for transparency like this after being persecuted by the DOJ.
- The woman who survived five gunshots from a Border Patrol agent in Chicago, only to be criminally charged and then cleared, now wants a judge’s permission to share records showing how the feds respond when agents use deadly force. @chicago.suntimes.com story: chicago.suntimes.com/immigration/...

- Reposted by KayBREAKING: Border Patrol's notorious lead agent, Greg Bovino, is reportedly withdrawing from Minneapolis following public pressure. The power of the people works — but our communities need safety. We call on Congress to demand ICE and Border Patrol leave Minneapolis now.
- Reposted by KayMy friend Sara posted this about the superb care her father received from with Alex Pretti Absolutely heartbreaking

- Reposted by KayGovernor's can't arrest people, y'all. Prosecutors are elected in Minnesota & they operate independently. The state police can investigate, but again, that's an independent process not under the governor's direct control. Stop the "Do something" rhetoric. It's not helpful. Minnesota will investigate
- Reposted by KayFederal Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents refused to allow 5-year-old Liam Conejo Ramos to stay at his Columbia Heights home with family after being detained, observers said, despite people in the home, neighbors and school officials begging them to do so.
- Reposted by KayIt’s -9 degrees. Downtown Minneapolis is packed for the anti-ICE rally and the crowd keeps growing
- Reposted by Kay🚨"We wonder why people in the 1930s were quiet, we need to show we weren't quiet. History is gonna look back at all the people that didn't show up—their grandkids are gonna ask what were they doing! It's like -10 degrees and we're here!" -Minneapolis ICE protester. LIVE NOW⬇️
- Reposted by KayWalked to Target Center and back. There must have been... ten thousand? tens of thousands? of people. I'll never see anything like it again. -10 degrees, people handing out hand warmers and coffee and sambusas. A furious, addictive energy. I love this state.
- Reposted by KayToday we marched together in below zero weather. Thanks to the thousands and thousands of Minnesotans who turned out to stand up and speak out. ICE OUT.
- Reposted by KayRemember those deranged psycho movies u thought the villain was laughably evil? When it's heavily armed psychos making money off grabbing any human off the street, terrorizing, assaulting, torturing, kidnapping, disappearing, killing us, @ work, school, breakfast or in our own homes, it's not funny
- ICE Agent asked why he's taking pictures of a legal observer's car, replies "Cuz we have a nice database and now you're considered a domestic terrorist. So have fun with that!!" So if you film ICE Fascist behavior you go on to a Domestic Terrorist list - how about them apples!!! #ChuckandJim
- Reposted by KayThis story really gets at a fundamental misunderstanding about ICE that I’m seeing outside of Minnesota. Folks think that ICE could terrorize undocumented immigrants and that it wouldn’t affect the broader community. But of course it does. The very fabric of social life is unraveling.
- Reposted by KayI spent the morning at the San Antonio immigration court. It’s out of control. Crawling with ICE - arresting legal immigrants showing up for court appearances. I asked one officer who they are prioritizing. His answer: everyone. I need to share with you what I saw.
- Update on the man kidnapped at gunpoint from him home in St. Paul. "Thao, who has been a U.S. citizen for decades, said that as he was being detained he asked his daughter-in-law to find his identification but the agents told him they didn’t want to see it." www.kwtx.com/2026/01/20/u...

- Reposted by KayThis is deeply disturbing, especially after reports of growing concerns about the conditions at this facility. An investigation must take place. www.mprnews.org/story/2026/0...
- Reposted by KaySunday, at least 7 ICE agents stormed a house and took an elderly man out into the freezing cold, wearing only his underwear and a blanket. He was a member of the Hmong community, which came to the area from Laos in the 1970s after siding with the US in the Vietnam War. Notice the suppressors 1/2
- Reposted by KayWe are America. How could you possibly target Native Americans - with ICE Officers - and then imprison us? That is impossible. It's legally impossible to do that. - Chase Iron Eyes
- Reposted by KayMINNEAPOLIS (AP) — US judge rules federal officers in Minneapolis-area immigration operation can’t detain or tear gas peaceful protesters.
- Reposted by KayNEWS: A federal judge found that ICE had repeatedly retaliated against peaceful protesters in unconstitutional ways — and barred agents involved in Minnesota's "Operation Metro Surge" from using similar tactics and force. w/ @joshgerstein @hassankanu www.politico.com/news/2026/01...

View full threadReposted by KaySo many folks right now are itching for guns to be popping off, be it from protestors towards ice, NG/Local towards ICE. Litigate this shit, remain peaceful. The blueprint for how to handle this was handed to us during the civil rights era.
- Reposted by KaySometimes it's the small acts of resistance. Also, now we know that ICE is staying at the Homewood Suites in Edina.
- Reposted by KayWhat we are seeing in Minnesota is what authoritarianism looks like in real time. Racism, dehumanization, and state-sanctioned violence are tearing at the foundation of this country.
- Reposted by KayICE throws flashbangs and tear gas at SUV with 6 children, requiring all to be hospitalized and causing their newborn infant to stop breathing.
- Reposted by KayIt is not a controversial opinion to demand that a rogue military police force who terrorizes its citizens as its sole dictate be dissolved forever and never allowed to re-form. What's controversial is saying, "maybe we can teach the terrorists to be less murder-y."
- Reposted by Kay🚨WHOA. The El Paso Medical Examiner says it will rule the death of a 55-year-old Cuban man at ICE's "Camp East Montana" tent camp as a homicide. He was allegedly choked to death by a guard during a "struggle" after he refused to enter a housing unit without his medications.
- SCOOP from Douglas Macmillan Medical examiner believes death of man in ICE custody was homicide, recording says www.washingtonpost.com/immigration/...
- Reposted by KayIt’s easy to watch the news and feel overwhelmed or even helpless at everything going on. I need you to fight that feeling. I’m an optimist. You have to be when you strap yourself to a rocket for a living. But there’s real reason to be hopeful this year and l’ll tell you why.

- Reposted by KayThis was reported as being the emergency call & video by the wife of the man who was shot in Minnesota tonight & based on this call, it appears that DHS is lying yet again. I have trouble hearing everything they're saying but did a little translation so you can understand what's being said.
- Reposted by KayWalz: "What's happening in MN defies belief. News reports simply don't do justice to the level of chaos & disruption & trauma the federal govt is raining down... This long ago stopped being a matter of immigration enforcement. Instead, it's a campaign of organized brutality against the people of MN"
- Reposted by KayFrey: "This is not sustainable. This is an impossible situation our city is being put in. We cannot be at a place in America where we have 2 governmental agencies literally fighting one another. We are put in this position b/c we have approximately 600 police officers & there are 3,000 ICE agents."

- Reposted by KayDenmark/Greenland will let us do anything we want militarily to protect our interests in Greenland with current and abandoned US military bases. We can move any assets we want there. So all the arguments about security are BS. Trump wants to OWN Greenland, not protect it.
- Reposted by KayI really can’t help but wonder sometimes if the people who believed they were ~punishing Kamala Harris realize who actually got punished now.
- Reposted by KayMost Americans don't want Greenland. They want the Epstein files.
- Reposted by KayKristi Noem has been a complete and total failure at her job. She has violated her oath and has allowed ICE agents to terrorize our communities. That’s why I’m joining @robinkelly.house.gov in calling for her impeachment. We deserve better, she’s gotta go.
- Reposted by KayScoop: Texas has quietly pushed 6,400 truckers with asylum, refugee or DACA status out of work in response to demands from the Trump administration that the state revoke commercial driver's licenses whose expiration dates don't match work permits. Many truckers had no warning.🧵

It's very much a work in progress, but I'll be updating it as resources develop. Everyone has something to contribute regardless of practice area or experience. Let's get to work.
- For lawyers in Minnesota who want to resist the ICE occupation: forms.gle/YK9mVYTft1Lt... So many folks in our legal community are ready and eager to get involved. But right now, a lot of work is being done in a decentralized way, by groups without bandwidth to organize. Let's coordinate efforts.
