This morning, ICE was staking out an elementary school bus stop here in Minneapolis.

@MrFesser @inthehands Yeah, and it sounds like the team that came back was mostly US Marshals, and told observers that it wasn't immigration-related. I'm pretty confident local dispatches will recognize that federal kidnap squads are federal kidnap squads and respond accordingly, but it's going to take some pivoting, and put pressure on keystone immigrant rights groups, who'll have to decide what resources they can keep dedicating to support/training as response work overflows their lane.
@feznander @inthehands I saw the photos of marshals, but between the presence of a plate number that ICE has been using and the way they piggybacked on "non-immigration" raids by other groups like at Cuatro Milpas, that doesn't really guarantee anything (and not bringing a warrant is bizarre).

With these recent days of news showing that the Trump regime is on their heels about ICE, my refrain has been: “It’s working. Punch harder.”
Last night I let myself savor the “It’s working” part for a few happy minutes, but this morning I’m squarely focused on “Punch harder.”
@inthehands Good. Because they are not “scared” by us. ICE agents have a ready pardon waiting for them. Nothing bad happened after Good’s execution. Trump is not scared of protests. We are not creating fear in any of them.
We are, however, forcing them to recalibrate politically. These reactions are 100% strategic, not out of fear from large crowds or protests, but more a repositioning as a result of their own errors. They are merely cockroaches scattering and regrouping in a new dark place.

@inthehands thank you for all the work you are doing and thank everyone in Minneapolis for modeling determined community resistance to injustice.
