Sitting here in sleepy, safe Suffolk UK, it’s difficult to comprehend what you’re going through. All I can do is offer support & love from afar and ask that you keep reporting and keep pushing the stories so that, when this is all over and some degree of sanity is restored, you have the evidence and the eye witness accounts in order that some sort of justice can be served.
Thank you for your support and for caring about us. You give us hope that we are seen for who most of us are and, believe me, there are many of us fighting this administration peacefully, silently, daily.
Exactly. Many have said “do something.” We are quietly working our judicial system and voting. We Dems are not gun toters💙💙💙. God I hope we win today🤞🤞🤞
One election at a time and we have hope. Here in Maine we have to retire Susan Collins and elect a strong Democrat to the seat Jared Golden will leave. Every state has work to do!
I had shared this story but then life moved on. The confusion of who the residents were pushing back was most of the confusion. Thank you for laying out all the details.
There are official records of raids like this, with names, operations plans, etc. They must be preserved, so when this national flirtation with fascism is over, every single coward who trampled in the Constitution can be brought to justice.
It was only a matter of time. This started with Nixon’s Southern Strategy, with subsequent GOP presidemts chipping away at our rights until Dump got elected by Putin for the second time. Now we have Stephen Mitler reviewing videos every night to satisfy his bloodthirst! Will we be able to hold out until November 2026? I do not know!
Thank you for sharing this. It's a good primer for the rest of us on how to hold the line.
There are those who have signed up with ICE in order to act out their anger, fear and aggression. There are also those who get caught up in this cosplay, making it all a very dangerous mixture.
Yes he blasted the incursion and that was how Trump later called him 'mentally retarded' which in turn was condemned by some Rep US Senator who has daughter with Down Syndrome.
This post needs WAY more attention than it’s getting. It’s appalling and insane that this was not reported by the MSM. I’d share but a) I’m Canadian and b) no one sees my posts.
Now, imagine of the same group of protestors had shown up doing the exact same things, but with nearly all of them carrying a weapon. Not threatening anyone in any way, jst sending the message that if the Pigs were going to escalate, the citizens weren't going to sit idly by and be abused.
We then demand to see ID and judicial warrants. If they have those, they go about their duty. If they don't they'll have to leave.
Next step is to pack the next city council meeting demanding to know why city cops are participating in the kidnapping of residents by armed unidentified men. Demanding immediate firings of officers involved and the implementation of new policies which protect citizens from unlawful kidnappings. If the politicians won't go along with that, start immediate recall campaigns against them and elect nothing but politicians who will have the people's back.
If this keeps happening it's because you are allowing this to happen. You have power. Use it.
Is St Paul under MAGA governance? WTF with the SPPD, especially this far into this regimen of unconstitutional and anti-American oppressive force from the feds?
And yet, when people suggest that Trump is a fascist and ICE is his gestapo, we are the ones going too far. The innocent people being brutalized to satiate Trump’s love of cruelty and oppression are just stepped on and then passed over. Until the next Trump atrocity occurs and we have to go through the same routine again.
This is an abomination! Have all our law enforcers gone absolutely crazy? I really pray that the mental disease these idiotic cosplayers have is not contagious.
It breaks my heart to know that this is going to get so much worse before it gets better. There better be endless trials after this administration is gone. The GOP as a hole needs to be outlaws like the Germany had to outlaw the nazi party there. Same same. So treat them the same here; outlaw them!
Thank you for keeping us informed. ICE and their supporting agencies act like a hostile occupying force. It's like we lost the war and the Nazis took over. More people need to know that ICE is not keeping us safe but terrorizing immigrants and American citizens.
This is unconscionable and unforgivable. This MUST stop. Jurisdictions must pass legislation, prohibiting ICE from wearing wearing mask, refusing to wear ID, and violating the constitutional rights of citizens who are peacefully protesting. These agents are thugs who have been given permission to brutalize people, including detainees, legal residents, citizens and innocent by-standers. FIRE ICE NOW!
Thank you for this reporting you’ve done. I hope that the St Paul PD will be thoroughly investigated for behavior that, as you rightly say, could have caused a HUGE tragedy. It’s tragic enough that the pple’s right to be shown respect as well as all the others, can be trampled on by lawless gestapo-thugs. This country has been stolen by crude, ignorant, perverse riffraff!!!

Bonne chance, stay brave and… hugs!

Agree. God the amount of destruction by this administration is unbelievable, but…….something 😂
Thank you so much Matthew. Your kindness makes a huge difference.

We must keep voting. Tennessee today and next Tuesday 3 more. Stephen Miller is a sadist according to his own family.

Is Governor Walz aware of this? He certainly would condemn this.
Yes he blasted the incursion and that was how Trump later called him 'mentally retarded' which in turn was condemned by some Rep US Senator who has daughter with Down Syndrome.
Please note I initially didn't add daughter.

I do. I see your posts, Barbara.
Keep up the brutality and they will end up pushing the wrong people. Then people get hurt or killed.

Thanks, Greg. Got your back, too.
