ICE has evidently murdered someone this morning in Minneapolis.
-
In Minneapolis tonight protesters have once again surrounded one of the hotels where ICE is lodging.
The noise demo made it to the front doors once again but tonight were met with a police line already form INSIDE of the hotel.
Local cops are once more directly protecting ICE.
There's original mastodon native reporting by @UnicornRiot in Minneapolis tonight.
So there's a reason we say ACAB, and we do mean ALL, is because of moments like this.
Why, on Earth are public University cops protecting an ICE invasion force?
What ICE is doing is counter to everything a higher education institution standa for.
I ask again, is it the case that the school budget is now protecting ICE instead of students and community?

Updates from streamers OTG in Minneapolis tonight indicate that local police pushed protesters away from the hotels ICE & CBP are staying in.
As of 15min ago there were sporadic arrests under unclear circamstances caught on camera.
The crowd near the hotels made the cops retreat a bit but now appears to have dispersed possibly for the night

Back on the legistlative front cities, counties and states across the US seem to have suddenly found the will power to use their bureaucracies against ICE.
LA County is now consider formal rules that will bar ICE from using county property for staging unless they actually have a warrant signed by a judge.
And of course if they have a warrany LA County seems to be strongly suggesting to ICE that they should only be narrowly focused on the individuals actually named.

LA County has been reeling in the unnecessary shooting death of Keith Porter at the hands of an off duty ICE agent on New Years.
While Keith is not the perfect victim, he fired off a New Years gunshots in the air, this IS however a bit of an illegal American tradition in many parts of the country.
The off duty cop took it upon himself to murder Keith.
As much as I hate this dumb shit, many Americans do shoot off guns on new years. It'd be nice if no one died.

Also today if I'm counting correctly a total of TEN Federal prosceutors resigned.
Four DOJ prosecutors resigned today and six US Attonery's Office Lawyers based in Minnesota also called it quits today.
They all say they have been asked to do unethical things. Like speed through the investigation into murderous cops Jonathan Ross or in the case of the US Atty's Office, inveistage Becca Good who survived the cop shooting.

A top Prosecutor appointed by Trump, Joe Thompson, resigned specifically because he said he wasn't allowed to investigate Jonathon Ross. But was instead told to investigate Renee Good's widow.
That crossed a line for him and he and several other lawyers opted to END their career instead of being a part of this fascist invasion.
Good on them.

Another day, another unlawful detainment of a US Citizen simply for recording ICE activity
A father was choked and illegally arrested by federal agents for exercising his rights to film police.
He was held for 9 hours and saw several other citizens illegally detained for the same thing.
Cops eventually released him without charges after his attorney got into contact with authorities.

Up early to read the court updates and sadly Federal Court Judge Menendez is taking a leisurely pace and refused to put in place the TRO (temporary restraining order) against DHS today.
The Feds are expected to have a formal response by Jan 19.
State of Minnesota's reply is due Jan. 22.
Next hearing for oral arguments in the case pending. Schedule is TBD.

This is very disappointing but not at all surprising.
It sounds unlikely that the court will act to stop ICE before the end of the month.

Video posted this morning at the Whipple Fdereal Building last night show ICE setting off "flash bang" grenades, teargas and mace as they violently arrest random people near the facility again.
This building is where countless US citizens have been illegally detained. We know these detentions are illegal because Federal and local prosecutors have hardly had any charges submitted for these individuals.

The politicians & judges aren't coming to our rescue this week. We're looking at at minimum a week+ of unopposed ICE snatching's of foreigners and citizens alike given the court schedule.
So I think the theme until the system decides to work has to be "we protect us"
Going to re-post some mutual aid requests from folks in Minnesota
First one is a legal aid request:

This one is for a man who was brutually assaulted by ICE agents last Friday in video that went viral all over the internet.
That man was homeless and lived in his car. ICE just showed up suddenly, beat him up and impound his car.
He's asking for help with legal bills, impound fees and housing.

@thelusciouslibra noticed this older mutual aid request from a family in St. Paul who needed help with legal funds & living expenses after one of the partners was snatched.
We don't really know what happened with this one but now that these issues are getting attention its important to check back in on some of these earlier victims of ICE.

Lastly there's the Minnesota Freedom Fund which operates a bail fund.
Bail funds and jail support are critical aidlines for the many everyday people who will come into police contact because of this ICE occupation.

The fundraiser for Renee Good's family hit $1.5M raised and stopped accepting donations just two days after Renee's death.
The last update on January 9th read:
"Thank you for your generosity. We’ve closed this GoFundMe and will place the funds in a trust for the family. If you’re looking to donate, we encourage you to support others in need. We’re truly grateful."
