Report from #MinnesotaPublicRadio, "ICE detains 5-year old Minnesota boy; school leader says agents used him as ‘bait'”:

Marc Prokosch, who is a lawyer representing the family stated: "They may have the legal authority to detain a 5-year-old, but why? Just because something is legal doesn’t mean it’s #moral.”

Columbia Heights Public School District Superintendent Zena Stenvik told MPR: “Another adult living in the home was outside and begged the agents to let him take care of the small child, and was refused."….Stenvik said Liam’s family has an “active asylum case” with no deportation orders. "I have viewed the legal paperwork with my own eyes.”

Protecting yourself from misinformation: What to know and how to spot it – MPR News

MPR News with Angela Davis

Protecting yourself from misinformation:
What to know and how to spot it

Have you ever seen a social media post that was so captivating that you just had to share it?  

Maybe it was a powerful video, a striking image or a headline that made you stop scrolling.   

But was it true? In a world where artificial intelligence can generate photos, videos and even voices, it’s becoming harder to know what’s real and what isn’t.

In fact, it’s become so challenging to tell truth from fiction that many colleges are offering classes in how to spot misinformation and digital manipulation. 

MPR News host Angela Davis talks with two professors about how technology is being used to mislead and how to avoid being fooled by fake images, videos and stories.

#Trump’s War on #America

“It’s not just clashes between #protesters and #ICE; it’s an attack on basic #rights that we’ve taken for granted,” says #MinnesotaPublicRadio reporter Jon Collins.

The Intercept Briefing
January 16 2026

"Immigration and Customs Enforcement agent Jonathan Ross fatally shot #ReneeGood, a 37-year-old mother of three, in #Minneapolis last week, unleashing a wave of #AntiICE protests and sentiment throughout #Minnesota and the rest of the United States.

"On Wednesday evening, federal immigration agents shot and wounded a man in Minneapolis, adding to the tension in the Twin Cities. President Donald Trump threatened to send in troops to crush the unrest.

" 'What should be very clear to all Americans now is that there is no way to wage war on ‘illegal immigration’ without also waging war on American citizens,' says Adam Serwer, staff writer at The Atlantic.

"This week on The Intercept Briefing, host Jessica Washington examines how the Trump administration’s brutal deportation agenda is unfolding in Minnesota, sparking national backlash and renewed demands to #AbolishICE; the historical legacy of immigration enforcement in the U.S.; and the administration’s #racist vision of reshaping American society.

I listen to KCMP #TheCurrent from #MinnesotaPublicRadio #MPR most weekday mornings.

Anti #EarWorm tool.

I switch to other stations when the morning gals get too chatty (they do that a lot) instead of shutting TFU & playing music.

Right now, the #MNStateFair has them re-arranged, so the morning gals can do their shit during the busiest Fair afternoon times. The 3rd string DJs are covering the morning slot.

THEY ARE BETTER. THEY STFU & play MUSIC.
