Trump’s troops abducted a U.S. citizen for asking them a question. #Minneapolis #Minnesota

‘Tincher, a white woman in her mid-50s who stands 5 feet, 4 inches tall, insists she was at speaking distance from the agent and said that she did nothing to “impede” their actions.

“Pretty soon they were throwing me on the ground and handcuffing me and putting me in their unmarked truck,” Tincher said, estimating that the whole interaction just took a few seconds.’ https://www.mprnews.org/story/2025/12/09/federal-agents-arrest-citizen-observer-watching-ice-north-minneapolis

Federal agents arrest citizen observer watching ICE detain neighbors on her north Minneapolis block

Susan Tincher, a 55-year-old American citizen, appears to be the first observer arrested by federal immigration enforcement officers since the agency launched an immigration surge in the Twin Cities last Monday.

‘Tincher has marks on her neck and wrist from where agents restrained her. Agents cut off her wedding ring and held her in leg shackles at Whipple Federal Building for about five hours, where she saw about seven other detainees.

Tincher said she’s even more motivated after her arrest to volunteer to support immigrants in her community. ‘

Sounds like a Gestapo reenactment.

Thanks, @heidilifeldman

This story describes the horrific abuse of federal "power." Multiply this incident by the many cities where sweeps happen daily—then think about the huge for-profit prisons that exist or are being built and the many agents directed to fill up those prisons, regardless of detainees' residency/citizenship status or criminal record.

@heidilifeldman Never question the powers that be
@heidilifeldman the same as in Russia

@heidilifeldman

Full blown fascism, and nothing to stop them…

Wake up Americans, before it is too late.

@heidilifeldman

Wait. They CUT OFF HER WEDDING RING?!?

WHY???

@heidilifeldman Since when was asking a question a crime? During the DJT years.
