As your audience might know, ICE has been active on the UMN-TC campus and protesters have been detained by university police.

The University Faculty are allowing this activity, unfortunately.

But! They have a meeting called the Board Of Regents meeting on FEBUARY 12TH AND 13TH on the sixth floor of a building on the UMN Campus called McNamara hall. It's open to the whole public- PLEASE come and state your grievances. I want these goons off my campus and people should be allowed to protest freely on campus, as well

I deleted another post about this concern for a moment while I dig in for sources and verification about exactly what went down and the reprocussions folks are facing.

However this brief article is documentation of the protest referenced in the meantime. I am not certain who was detained by the U and who was detained by the MPD, as it’s my understanding both were involved, and I don’t know who was charged with what.

That being said, I think if you come to this meeting you’ll hopefully hear some first hand accounts and learn more! If you want to listen a bit to what folks are saying before speaking showing up is still important because the UMN needs to know that people care. The Right has been putting their thumb on the scales for a while now and we need to respond by showing the U that doesn’t balance out the will of the community.

Happy Mother's Day weekend!

In honor of all moms, we're highlighting Kati Sasseville, who became the Law School Council's first woman president in 1972. Her campaign posters urging students to "Vote for Mama Sass" partly referred to the fact that she was a mother of six by the time she was in law school.

Sasseville went on to become the first woman to serve on the Minnesota Public Service Commission, eventually serving as Commission Chair. She remained very active in the legal community, throughout her life running for Congress in the 7th Congressional District, the State House, and the State Senate.

Pictured above are two portraits of Sasseville, along with her presenting the "Outstanding Teacher of the Year Award" to William Lockhart at her graduation in 1973.

THE UNIVERSITY OF MINNESOTA POLICE ARRESTED DOZENS OF THEIR OWN STUDENTS LAST NIGHT FOR PROTESTING I.C.E. AT A HOTEL TWO BLOCKS FROM CAMPUS.

STUDENTS ARE FACING CONDUCT VIOLATIONS. CALL THE UNIVERSITY PRESIDENT (612-626-1616) AND DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC SAFETY (612-624-2677) TO DEMAND THE UNIVERSITY DEFEND THE SAFETY AND RIGHTS OF THEIR STUDENTS. FEDERAL MURDERERS SHOULD NOT BE SLEEPING ACROSS THE STREET FROM COLLEGE STUDENTS.
