I HAVE THE RECEIPTS
Ok, hold off reblogging till I'm done, cause I gotta break this up into multiple posts to get all the links.
Facts and sources for those trying to spread the truth about ICEâs violent and lawless occupation of MN, organized by which type of person youâre trying to persuade.
In case they say âwell there must be a reason for them to do thisâ
Yes! There are several!
- Hereâs the Trump administration demanding we hand over control of our elections in order to stop the occupation (please see the âlaw and orderâ section below for takedowns of the lies included in the administrationâs letter.) (sidebar butâstateâs rights? Hello?)
Minnesota's secretary of state rejected a request from Attorney General Pam Bondi for federal access state voter rolls and welfare data, as
- Here they are trying to override Minnesotansâ objections to mining our pristine boundary waters. (As an added noteâthe mining company isnât even US-based. The money will be headed to Trumpâs cronies outside our borders. I oppose it anyway because this endangers the wildlife and drinking water ofâŚa huge number of people, but I guess some people care about that as well.)
Congressional Republicans have moved closer to lifting a 20-year ban on mining near the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness, a premier des

For the âthink of the childrenâ crowd:
- 6 children in a minivan on the way home from soccer were gassed by ICE, who threw the canister into their vehicle. A 6 month old infant was hospitalized for days as a result.
A family trying to get home from their sonâs basketball game in Minneapolis on Wednesday found themselves between protesters and federal age
- Multiple children were kidnapped right off their school bus, including a 5 year old boy who was kidnapped right in front of family after being used as bait. He is a legal asylum seeker and pretty obviously not a violent criminal. He has since vanished across state lines
Five-year-old Liam Ramos' detention by ICE has sparked questions about the policies underlying the agency's operations.
Vice President JD Vance, who is in Minneapolis, asked: "Well, what are they supposed to do? Are they supposed to let a 5-year-old child free

For the Second Amendment fans: - NRAâs statement about the murder of a nurse who worked at the local Veteransâ hospital. He never pulled his gun; we have video proof from many angles. He had a gun he was legally allowed to carry, so they shot him many, many times while holding him down.
The NRA rebuked a senior federal prosecutorâs remarks on armed encounters with police after the fatal shooting of Alex Pretti in Minneapolis
For âLaw and Orderâ fans: - People seem to have forgotten that being undocumented is not actually a crime! Thatâs why itâs not handled by the criminal justice system. It is not illegal.
At US-ILC, we listen, we care, we deliver: Let our 89 years of combined experience help you navigate the complexities of immigration law. In

- ICE is whining about being âassaultedâ by people laughing at them, shouting at them, refusing them services (remember that republican law that says you can deny services due to your beliefs? We can use that, too!), or putting water outside their hotel room. They say they can shoot people and itâs fine, but people stopping them from kidnapping others with things like yelling, whistles, and singing is âassaultâ to them. They then used this to try to suspend our right to assembly.

For âBut-But- The Fraud!â nuts: - The current round of âfraudâ accusations was started by a YouTuber who showed up with a camera at a bunch of daycares and concluded, since nobody would just let the strange man come onto the private property with the children, that they were hiding something.
Evidence is nowhere near the epidemic levels a viral YouTube video would suggest â but it hasnât stopped a crackdown on child care funding.
For the âitâs a bunch of fringe terrorists resisting legal law enforcementâ crowd: - Firstly, some images of Minnesotans showing up in the middle of a negative 20-degree work day to protest ICE. We had the first general strike in 80 years. Look at these pictures. Minneapolis is a small city. We have never had this kind of cross-class, cross-generation, cross-race, cross-party lines unity before.
This is not fringe. This is because everybody here has stories of seeing ICE try to beat and abduct people. In the city, in our small towns, and in our suburbs.
