ICE has evidently murdered someone this morning in Minneapolis.

In this clip a US Army Ranger vet explains how ICE/CBP are clearly being ordered be as intimidating as possible.
He notes how they should NOT be wearing masks when not dealing with actual gangs who operate on the border.
Even how they wear their bullet proof vests is unnecessarily intimidating.
He explains these sorts of shows of force got troops hurt in Afghanistan bc the locals wouldn't wait for the next Renee Good to fight back.
Status CoupMayor Frey has been doing tons of interviews to advocate for ICE getting the fuck out of his city this week.
In this interview with The Bulwark he encourages artists, musicians and other performers to please come to the city and do their acts as planned and to support the protests while in town.
He points to the economic damper this fascist cop surge will have on the city and says his job is to enable as many of these sorts of events to be help despite oppression.

Frey mentions that ICE now accounts for 50% of the city's gun crime.
He expressed major concern that ICE agents (2,275) in the city now far outnumber the around 600 local cops. The concern is clearly visible on Frey's face when I speaks of the numerical superiority of the ICE/CBP cop surge.

Tim Walz has also stayed in the media cycle and is trying to keep the pressure up on ICE to leave. He spoke out yesterday explaining how the actions of ICE against Renee Good were unjustified.
He draws the conclusion that if ICE can do that to Renee then immediately go harass high school educators that these same sorts of incidents could become common in our schools.
Walz says that's a red line for him and he'll fight like hell to keep ICE away from kids.

Tonight thousands of everyday people in Minneapolis are holding noise demos at the hotels ICE is staying in.
It's our 1st admenment right to make sure ICE gets a horrible night of rests every night until they get the Fuck OUT!
Update - local cops arrested 30 people according to @UnicornRiot during this night of protests.

An OTG update earlier today from the Bishop Henry Whipple Federal Building in Minnesota shows workers fortifying the building to make it easier for CBP+ICE agents to keep protesters from slowing down their deportation processing operations.
In other clips large shipments of jersey barriers and barbed wire were seen being offloaded.
The feds are clearly planning not to leave MPLS as requested.

BGOnTheScene via TwitterDespite the horror of Renee Good's murder, politicians telling ICE to get the fuck out and growing protests, ICE continues to abduct people in and around MPLS.
In this incident I think from today in St Paul Minnesota (not sure of the date OP privated) a family ordered DoorDash only to have their dasher followed to their home by ICE.
The family attempts to protect the woman and call local cops(as instructed by politicians) local cops tell them they will arrested if they don't comply fully

The above video account of ICE chasing a DoorDash into a customer's home is hear breaking.
The woman filming explains that she is a native a American and for lack of a better word they all sound scared shitless by what happened to Renne Good.
The family had kids in the home and the demand that ICE put down their guns.
The only thing the sheltered Hispanic woman had to threaten these militarzed federal cops with is her tears.

Watching live streams, the scene at the entrance to the ICE hotel is noisy af.
The crowd is peaceful but LOUD, they have shown a ton of respect for the hotel security personnel.
Bands and drummers filtered through the crowd to setup shop right in the doorway.
After a bit an ICE cop emerged at the door to stand with security and crowd got a LOT less friendly.
(apologies, my screencap didn't catch audio)

The 2 and half hour long live stream I had been watching just ended abruptly with this as the last frame.
Protesters appear to have been let in a side door and several have filed in.
They encountered two closed (but unclocked doors) and debated entering further.
Some young boys can be heard warning the crowd that their could be ICE cops on the other side setting a trap and most exited. Many others took their place then the streamer ended the stream likely to protect ppl's identities.

When the stream resumed the citizen journalists were outside of the hotel facing off with local MPLS riot cops.
The local cops are now threatening to forcefully disperse the noise protests.
The local cops are now protecting ICE, as predicted.
The crowd is now cursing out the local cops and saying the are supporting ICE too much.

It sounds like the crowd became aware that the local cops were arriving right as the hotel side door was opened.
The vast majority of the crowd felt it was a trap and sounds like the local police did not have to physically remove anyone from the hotel bc the crowd had heads up they were about to get kettled.

The local cops appear to have just completed securing the entrances of the hotel and now are forming a road block to keep demonstrators away from the hotel.
Notably the local cops are armed primarily with knight sticks, pepper balls and other "non-lethals" (they still dangerous tho).
So far I've seen no local cops carrying rifles.

Every so often a snowball is thrown at the cop line.
There is ZERO reaction from these local cops, its as if snow balls and noise demos are not a lethal threat. These cops are clearly on their absolute best behavior, its not much but compared to ICE (and local cops in 2020) these guys appear to be doing their best to not unnecessarily threaten or intimidate the crowd.
It's wild, watching ICE I fully expect everyone to get gassed for them snowballs.

Not long after the police lines were formed the protests resumed marching and is now several blocks away.
The local cops now seems to have to decide between guarding the ICE hotel vs tailing the protesters and it looks like they're gonna stay at the hotel and make sure those evil goons get a quite rest of their night.

Sounds like the protest has dispersed for the night.
From what I saw on streams the protest tonight in Minneapolis was very peaceful with protesters occasionally enganging in civil disobeiance by being loud in hotel lobby's.
Not that protests need to be any of those things to be valid forms of struggle against oppression.

From witness statements on the streams it appears that both state and local cops were on tap to put down the protests and took active steps to encourage the crowd to disperse.
I'm not sure why dispersal was so important. I totally get keeping the crowds out of hotel lobbies but I really think if the Mayor and Governor meant what they say they should not be attempting to disperse a simple noise demo. Even if it goes late.
In fact they should make a point to NOT protect ICE at all anymore.

The situation is clearly already out of control with respect to ICE being told by every level of local governement to leave Senator Amy Klobuchar has joined the chorus as well.
Listen carefully and you'll see that Klobuchar, just like Mayor Frey and Governor Walz is keeping an eye on the tactical situation.
They ALL are aware that their local cops are already out numbered and out gunned by ICE.
They are talking about literal battle when they talk like this.

The crisis facing the US is extremely serious.
A DC cop, Michael Fanone, who was nearly killed at the US Capitol on January 6th says that a couple "F" bombs and foul language from the Mayor and Governor are NOT enough to stop what's coming. Fanone retired from the force after Jan 6 bc he refused to serve with fascists sympathizers.
He predicts that Americans will have to begin excersizing their 2A rights bc strong words are not enough to stop ICE.
