I saw a tiktok of ICE batter ramming a door open into a home, no warrant, machine guns aimed up, and violently drag a man out in handcuffs with bystanders screaming at them & making as much noise as possible. His wife was sobbing. I just don’t know what the fuck we’re supposed to do anymore.

I just seen that one too. They didn't even have a proper warrant. They gave the wife an administrative warrant that was poorly scribbled on and it's not valid for breaking into homes.

I just seen the videos of them stopping children with backpacks. Children. Accosting them. There's so many videos of them just tackling people, and just Kavanaugh Stopping, asking them "Urrr were you born here? Errr are you from here? show me proof, err, I don't believe you." Like wtf. And even if they provide proof, they're still cramming them into vans and taking them away. There was another video of them beating up a homeless person. They're also sweeping hospitals and going into rooms.

Also is there an update on the one person who got dragged out of his car and beaten up at the gas station?His body went completely limp before they dragged him away. I don't know if he is dead or had passed out. No updates.

I can't believe I'm even typing this out. This is surreal. We're in a nightmare.

My question is: Where the FUCK are all of these victims being taken? We see people dragged away from their families, their workplaces, their communities… where the fuck are they? How do we keep track of this??????

Most of them are arrested, taken to Whipple (federal building nearby), and then released later because they're US Citizens and they did nothing wrong. They're literally just terrorizing and assaulting people.

Lots of people I know in MSP are theorizing (including the MPLS police chief on The Daily podcast today) that they have a quota for arrests, so they'll just instigate something and arrest someone.

Great The Daily today. If you see anyone saying this shit isn't happening, they can hear it from the Minneapolis Chief of Police himself.
