"[A]mid the redoubts of normality, a wide network of organized resistance and mutual aid had sprung up. The #Minneapolis - St. Paul metro area has a population of about three million. Immigrants comprise a fraction of this figure—about 10 percent—but it’s as if the entire city had mobilized in their defense."

« Ultimement, c’est la nature fondamentalement coloniale de ces opérations menées par des régimes frontaliers qui est révélée. »

La résistance anti-ICE au Minnesota et le devoir de mémoire de nos lignées solidaires.

Le Devoir

"For all the horror wrought by the regime, intended to stun its opponents like iguanas in the cold, this feels like a period of flux. Mass noncompliance has revived the promise of life amidst death. As it did during the pandemic after the murder of George Floyd, #Minnesota has altered the political temperature."

" ‘We had whistles. They had guns,’ Becca Good said of the day that #ICE agents killed her wife, Renée. Our opponent is tricked out with military gear, staying in Hilton hotels and renting Enterprise cars, with technological support from Palantir and Amazon Web Services. Enabled, in other words, by corporate behemoths that govern our lives in other ways, too."

Minneapolis Fight Back w/ Emilia González Avalos, Greg Nammacher, JaNaé Bates Imari

Featuring Emilia González Avalos, Greg Nammacher, and JaNaé Bates Imari on how Minneapolis achieved its fight back against ICE/Border Patrol occupation. A decade building aligned mass movements has made Minneapolis among the best organized cities in the country. Those carefully-built structures, however, had to be nimble in confronting the federal onslaught.

The Dig

"With schools cancelled for fear of #ICE, and immigrants and people of colour afraid to leave their homes, neighbours are helping out with food, and money, and laundry. On 23 January, the people of #Minnesota organised, for the first time in America in almost a century, a successful #generalStrike."

"Neighbors juggling jobs, kids, and their own fears are up against three thousand federal agents. (For comparison, three hundred were deployed to Chicago.) The size of #OperationMetroSurge is delirious, outlandish. As state and local officials grandstand at press conferences and file lawsuits, people do what they can to protect each other and hang on."

'The landscape of resistance in #Minneapolis, John Nichols reports, includes surprisingly powerful and effective faith groups, plus unions, neighborhood networks for mutual aid and community safety, #ICEobserverTeams, and direct action groups, plus the ACLU and its allies, as well as the outspoken mayor and state attorney general.
