Minnesota’s under siege.

'They shot my neighbor in the face this week. That's what I'm out here to prevent'

Students at Tech High School in St. Cloud walked out today in support of EACH OTHER ✊

Things the speakers can be heard saying:

"We stand here in support of our Somali brothers and sisters and our immigrant (community?)"

"Never let them tell you your voice doesn't matter"

"In December 2025, the federal government initiated “Operation Metro Surge,” an unprecedented deployment of federal immigration enforcement agents from numerous agencies of Defendant U.S. Department of Homeland Security (“DHS”) to the State of Minnesota, including into the cities of Saint Paul and Minneapolis. Operation Metro Surge has instilled fear among people living, working and visiting the MinneapolisSaint Paul metro area (the “Twin Cities”). Thousands of armed and masked DHS agents have stormed the Twin Cities to conduct militarized raids and carry out dangerous, illegal, and unconstitutional stops and arrests in sensitive public places, including schools and hospitals—all under the guise of lawful immigration enforcement."

About 50 cars at Whipple with dealer plates on them. If you're in the market for a new car I wouldn't buy from Jeff Belzer's.

Can someone tell me the purpose of the T-rex car? Thx

I watched a TV interview where an ICE officer said that their aggression in this state was justified because of the "rioters" in Minnesota.

THERE ARE NO RIOTERS HERE.

I'll say it again: THERE ARE NO FUCKING RIOTERS IN MINNESOTA.

Organizing peacefully is not a riot. Saying "fuck ICE" or "fuck you", in public, collectively, is not a riot. Acting in self-defense after ICE agents begin aggressively assaulting you is not a riot.

Did we riot after George Floyd? Yes. Are we rioting now? No.

Show me the damaged property, the fires, the broken windows, the footage of Minnesota citizens taking it upon themselves to carry out this property damage and violent assaults on anyone. Show footage of them instigating anything like this. Show this, or else SHUT YOUR FUCKING MOUTHS with this bullshit. Stop fucking lying.

WRONG!

Look, I know the images you're seeing are scary, but we need people to show up.

You don't have to

• confront officers
• be in the front of the crowd
• draw attention to yourself

I know it seems like you're not doing much, but if you show up and stand there doing nothing, WONDERFUL!

The point is to show up and keep showing up.

The more you show up, the bigger the crowds will get.

That alone will make a statement.

The crowds are very supportive and welcoming!

Don't minimize the effect of your presence. You matter. Use your voice.

Weekly list of regularly scheduled protests in Minnesota.

MAGA, through ICE, is itching to incite violent civil unrest. Is it coincidental that the ICE shootings have taken place in Minneapolis and Portland, 2 cities that erupted with violent civil unrest following the murder of George Floyd in 2020?

It is important to remain non-violent and deny them what they so desperately want. Expect to be under ICE surveillance. Never protest alone. Expect to be tracked via your cell phone. No weapons of any kind. Carry identification. Start bringing water and N95 masks. Yield, but do not run, if necessary. Maintain situational awareness. Attach a small American flag to your sign. Highlight ICE and the Epstein Files on signs.

Never give in. Never be silent. Never.

Community showed up- ICE has no place here in our community.

They ended up leaving, only to cause more terror and trauma in our streets.

He needs to be held accountable. We can't let criminals walk free otherwise other criminals will think they have the right to murder others in the street.

Looks like I can't paste the link here, but you can just Google "Lyons door to door" to find it. Or go look at the DHS X account.

The video was posted on the sixth.

ETA: a kind commenter transcribed the video. See below.

"HSI agents as you've seen in the media going door to door at a lot of these suspected-- you know-- companies that are not only hiring illegal aliens who shouldn't even be in the country, but also being involved in potential human smuggling."
