#ICE #DHS #ICEOut... permanently

So proud of my Minneapolis and Minnesotan neighbors. There is a reason I live here. Now the world sees what I see.

But now we need to move to the next phase, which is justice for Renee Good and Alex Pretti. That means voting for politicians who will prosecute Jonathan Ross, Border Patrol agent Jesus Ochoa and Customs and Border Protection officer Raymundo Gutierrez.

Not bringing these people to justice is a grave risk to us all.

THE WORST OF THE WORST?!!! People who help supply food?!!

About a dozen workers detained in #SkowheganME #ImmigrationRaid, advocates say

The arrests marked the second raid this month by federal immigration agents on workers traveling to #BackyardFarms in #MadisonME.

Ethan Horton, February 25, 2026

Excerpt: "About 12 agricultural workers were detained in Skowhegan by federal officers Wednesday morning, two community advocates with knowledge of the situation said.

"Officers who appeared to be affiliated with U.S. Customs and Border Protection boarded a van and detained the workers at about 6 a.m., Iver Lofving, an advocate and translator, said.

"The van, Lofving said, was carrying workers from a former motel in Skowhegan to Backyard Farms in Madison and was stopped by federal agents about 10 minutes from Backyard Farms. The van also picked up several people from elsewhere in Skowhegan, who were detained as part of the operation, he said.

"Federal and local officials have yet to confirm the details of the operation, including how many workers were detained, where they are from, why they were detained and where they are being held. CBP and Skowhegan police did not respond to requests for comment.

"The raid marked the second time this month that immigration officers have detained workers en route from the former Skowhegan motel at 137 West Front St. to Backyard Farms. "

I am enroute to Paris. At #msp airport 3 hours ago, when we were walking down the jetway to the plane, we turned a corner and suddenly were passing by about a dozen agents clearly marked #CBP and #ICE.

I don't know if they were waiting for someone or just wanted to be seen. They were very friendly, smiling, wishing us a nice flight. But it was just fucking weird and creepy.

Proposed #ICE facility in #NewHampshire won’t be built, governor says

The plan for a 500-bed processing center had drawn pushback from local and state officials.

by Drew Johnson, February 24, 2026

The Department of Homeland Security will not move forward with its plan to convert a warehouse in Merrimack, New Hampshire, into a 500-bed U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement facility, Gov. Kelly Ayotte announced Tuesday.

The proposal had drawn pushback from local and state officials in New Hampshire, while its proximity to Maine also generated rumors that it would be used to hold people detained here."

"The man is a mechanic who was born in Mexico... When two women [who were ICE agents] popped the hood on their vehicle and knocked on his door, the man went outside to help. The arrest was captured on video.

'He's been there for maybe 10 seconds, then the other cars pull up and surround him, and a bunch of agents jump out and tackle him... and take him away,' [attorney John] Hayden said. 'His six kids are now without their father.'”

#Google Fulfilled #ICE Subpoena Demanding #StudentJournalist’s #Bank and #CreditCard Numbers

#AmandlaThomasJohnson didn’t know how much information ICE requested in a subpoena until months later. Google never gave him a chance to fight it.

Jessica Washington. February 10 2026

Excerpt: "Amandla Thomas-Johnson had attended a protest targeting companies that supplied weapons to Israel at a #CornellUniversity job fair in 2024 for all of five minutes, but the action got him banned from campus. When President Donald Trump assumed office and issued a series of executive orders targeting students who protested in support of #Palestinians, Thomas-Johnson and his friend Momodou Taal went into hiding.

"Google informed Thomas-Johnson via a brief email in April that it had already shared his metadata with the Department of Homeland Security, as The Intercept previously reported. But the full extent of the information the agency sought — including usernames, addresses, itemized list of services, including any IP masking services, telephone or instrument numbers, subscriber numbers or identities, and credit card and bank account numbers — was not previously known.

" 'I’d already seen the subpoena request that Google and Meta had sent to Momodou [Taal], and I knew that he had gotten in touch with a lawyer and the lawyer successfully challenged that,' Thomas-Johnson said. 'I was quite surprised to see that I didn’t have that opportunity.'

"The subpoena provides no justification for why ICE is asking for this information, except that it’s required 'in connection with an investigation or inquiry relating to the enforcement of U.S. immigration laws.' In the subpoena, ICE requests that Google not 'disclose the existence of this summons for indefinite period of time.'
Thomas-Johnson, who is British, believes that ICE requested that information to track and eventually detain him — but he had already fled to Geneva, Switzerland, and is now in Dakar, Senegal.

"The #ElectronicFrontierFoundation, which is representing Thomas-Johnson, and the #ACLU of Northern California sent a letter to Google, #Amazon, #Apple, #Discord, #Meta, #Microsoft, and #Reddit last week calling on tech companies to resist similar subpoenas in the future from #DHS without court intervention. The letter asks the companies to provide users with as much notice as possible before complying with a subpoena to give them the opportunity to fight it, and to resist gag orders that would prevent the #TechCompanies from informing targets that a subpoena was issued.

" 'Your promises to protect the privacy of users are being tested right now. As part of the federal government’s unprecedented campaign to target critics of its conduct and policies, agencies like DHS have repeatedly demanded access to the identities and information of people on your services,' the letter reads.

" 'Based on our own contact with targeted users, we are deeply concerned your companies are failing to challenge unlawful surveillance and defend user privacy and speech.' "

#Marine Detained in #Minneapolis Says Feds Copied His Phone Without a Warrant

By Austin Campbell, February 12, 2026

"At first, #StevenSaari said, federal #immigration agents seemed to think he was one of them.

"Saari, a Marine Corps combat veteran who served in Iraq and Afghanistan, went to the scene of #AlexPretti’s killing in #Minneapolis less than an hour after federal agents fired the fatal shots. He was wearing his Marine camouflage and carrying a lawfully owned 9mm Glock handgun on his right hip, as he does every day, he told The Intercept. Agents on the scene 'thought I was undercover,' Saari said. 'They kept asking what agency I was with.'

"When Saari told them he was not with any agency, their demeanor shifted. Federal immigration agents soon aimed M4-style rifles at his head, footage reviewed by The Intercept shows, their fingers on the trigger less than a minute’s walk away from where Pretti was killed.
'More and more #BorderPatrol and ICE agents gathered around me,' Saari said. 'Then they moved in with rifles and handguns drawn.'

"The encounter raises questions about how federal agents assessed threats, used force, and made arrest decisions in the immediate aftermath of Pretti’s killing. In Saari’s case, he and his attorney told The Intercept, federal agents took scans and samples of his biometric data and made a copy of his phone — without obtaining a warrant."

The late #JoeSoley was a notorious #SlumLord in #PortlandME. It seems his son #DavidSoley and grandson #JoshSoley are in cahoots with #ICE! David Soley might be connected to #OneCityCenter (where ICE has had an office since 2020). Josh Soley is the owner (and David the manager) of the #ICEFacility in #ScarboroughME.

Here is some info I found on Reddit...

Posted January, 26, 2026

"No ICE, No Josh Soley/ CORE

A recent post brought attention to the fact that Josh Soley is the owner of the #ICEKidnapping facility in Scarborough that is putting kids and their families in cages.

This fuckface is worse than the ICE agents terrorizing our town. He is akin to a #Nazi profiteer. I’m all for denying service to ICE agents, but can we please step up the boycott and refusal to allow Josh and his real estate company CORE to do business as usual? I bartend in town and I will quit before I serve him or his family. I will also donate to anyone who can make posters they can share and I promise to help plaster them all over town."

#ImmigrantRights group says 17 people were arrested by #CBP agents while riding bus in #Skowhegan

Maine Immigrants' Rights Coalition says it has seen more immigration enforcement activity in rural areas

Jacob Murphy, February 12, 2026

Excerpt: "Maine Immigrants' Rights Coalition says the workers were staying in the former #KyesMotel in #SkowheganME. The bus regularly picks them up and brings them to #BackyardFarms.

"Backyard Farms grows #tomatoes and #lettuce and ships the produce across the country.

"Local growers are concerned that the agricultural workforce will significantly shrink with increasing immigration enforcement.

" 'The reality we're seeing is that the recent surge in ICE activity is causing uncertainty for farm labor that doesn't stop at a visa status. It’s making it harder for farms to maintain a reliable workforce, which will ultimately ripple out into the broader economy," said Jennifer Wilhelm with Maine Organic Farmers and Gardeners Association.

Minnesota Twin City neighbors are still going through it. That so-called 'draw down' was a ploy to get media to leave and it worked. ICE and Border Patrol are still everywhere and they haven't stopped.

"Immigration and Law Enforcement: Reports from late 2025 indicate that former IDF soldiers are working within U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and Customs and Border Protection (CBP).

Concerns Raised: This connection has raised concerns among critics regarding the "militarization" of U.S. immigration enforcement, with allegations that tactics used in the West Bank are being brought to U.S. cities.

Private Security: Some former IDF soldiers are employed by private security firms in the U.S. and Canada, with reports of such companies being hired for security at university protests.

Military/Defense Contractors: Due to the close military ties between the U.S. and Israel, some former soldiers work in defense contracting, focusing on areas like counter-terrorism training and specialized simulation tools."

Excerpt: "Bellows, a Democrat running for governor, has twice rejected requests to provide the DOJ with sensitive voter data, including driver’s license numbers, partial social security numbers and full dates of birth, along with names of officials who handle the list’s maintenance, the number of ineligible voters the state identified due to noncitizenship and voter registration applications from specific time periods, among other information.

"The DOJ has argued the data is necessary to assess states’ compliance with the statewide voter registration list maintenance provisions of the #NationalVoterRegistrationAct.

"Maine is now among the states being sued by the federal government over its failure to comply.

"In a motion to dismiss filed last month, the state argued that the lawsuit should be discharged because the DOJ failed to support a valid legal case as to why it is justified to such information, and that its data requests violate federal privacy law.

"The motion also noted voter registration databases contain information about people’s choice of political party and in which elections they chose to vote, which are activities protected by the #FirstAmendment. Bellows and other secretaries of state have also raised concern about the federal government using voter records for citizenship probes.

"In a statement Sunday, Bellows said, '#Maine will never turn over our voter rolls as a ransom payment to get ICE to end its #unconstitutional assault on our state.

" 'Our founders designed a system where states and local governments, not the federal government, oversee elections to safeguard us from exactly this — a #tyrannical, #PowerHungry president trampling on our #ConstitutionalRights,' she wrote."

#Maine Secretary of State says she’s been #doxed after standing up to #ICE

"Maine Secretary of State and gubernatorial candidate #ShennaBellows says she has been doxed after coming out against Immigration and Customs Enforcement.

"Bellows says her home address and personal contact information were spread online. She says this has led to herself and members of her family receiving threats.

"But for Bellows, this is not the first time she has been targeted. She says she was #swatted in 2023 for calling to remove President Donald #Trump from the ballot.
Bellows insists it’s a scare tactic, and that she will not give in to fear.

" 'Unfortunately, when I spoke out against #ICE and when I refused to allow ICE to have access to undercover license plates because a government agency and law enforcement should identify themselves as a government entity and law enforcement if they are going to be arresting people in the streets,' Bellows said."

#Activists in #Minneapolis are arrested while trailing #immigration agents

By RYAN MURPHY, SARAH RAZA and STEVE KARNOWSKI
Updated 4:44 PM EST, February 3, 2026

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — "Immigration officers with guns drawn arrested activists who were trailing their vehicles on Tuesday in Minneapolis, while education leaders described anxiety and fear in Minnesota #schools from the ongoing federal sweeps.

"Both are signs that tension remains in the Minneapolis area after the departure of high-profile commander #GregBovino of U.S. #BoarderPatrol and the arrival of #Trump administration border czar #TomHoman, which followed the fatal shooting of protester #AlexPretti.

"'There’s less smoke on the ground,' Gov. #TimWalz said, referring to #TearGas and other #irritants used by officers against #protesters, 'but I think it’s more chilling than it was last week because of the shift to the schools, the shift to the children.'

"At least one person who had an anti-ICE message on clothing was handcuffed while face-down on the ground. An Associated Press photographer witnessed the arrests.

ICE agents are changing their tactics

"Federal agents in the Twin Cities lately have been conducting more targeted immigration arrests at homes and neighborhoods, rather than staging in parking lots. The convoys have been harder to find and less aggressive. Alerts in activist group chats have been more about sightings than immigration-related detainments.

"Several cars followed officers through south Minneapolis after there were reports of them knocking at homes. Officers stopped their vehicles and ordered activists to come out of a car at gunpoint. Agents told reporters at the scene to stay back and threatened to use pepper spray."

Excerpt from a MinnPost article on potential new Minnesota laws:

Passing anything will be an ordeal in a Legislature composed of 101 DFLers and 100 Republicans. And, Republicans are likely to support bills that mandate cooperation between the state and federal immigration officials.

#DemocracyNow - #ImmigrantRights Leader in #Maine Says #ICERaids Caused Panic & “Wave of Fear”

February 03, 2026

"Activists in Maine are resisting #ICE immigration raids in #PortlandME and #LewistonME that the #Trump administration dubbed 'Operation Catch of the Day.' The immigrant community in Maine has grown in recent years, with an influx of #AsylumSeekers and #Somali immigrants in particular. 'As a small state, community means a lot,' says #MufaloChitam, executive director of the Maine Immigrants’ Rights Coalition, adding that her organization has received thousands of phone calls to their immigrant support hotline in recent weeks."

'Feds Identify “Leader of #Antifa”

Twenty-nine year old Chandler Patey has been regularly protesting outside his local #ICE facility in South Portland for months, offering up his apartment to fellow #protesters to use the bathroom or wash off pepper spray, according to local news.

To the #DHS, “he is the leader of Antifa in #Portland, #Oregon.”'

Portland Mayor Wilson called for accountability.

“To those who continue to work for ICE: Resign. To those who control this facility: Leave. Through your use of violence and the trampling of the Constitution, you have lost all legitimacy and replaced it with shame. To those who continue to make these sickening decisions, go home, look in a mirror, and ask yourselves why you have gassed children…"

Mayor demands ICE militants exit his city after they bomb a peaceful civilian protest with chemical irritant weapons, with many mothers & small children present and no clear path to safety.

Portland Mayor Keith Wilson said the daytime demonstration was peaceful, “where the vast majority of those present violated no laws, made no threat and posed no danger” to federal agents.

Native American communities have been targeted by ICE activities in MN. ICE agents have been stopping and sometimes detaining anyone that doesn't look "American" enough.

Many businesses around the cities have signs up similar to this one. City governments are also trying to limit ICE's impact on their citizens.

“Before I say thanks to God, I’m going to say: ICE out,” he began, drawing a standing ovation. “We’re not savage, we’re not animals, we’re not aliens. We are humans, and we are Americans. Also, I want to say to the people: I know it’s tough not to hate these days, and I’ve been thinking about that. Sometimes we get contaminados… I don’t know how to say that in English. Hate gets more powerful with more hate.” He continued. “The only thing more powerful than hate is love. So, please, we need to be different when we fight. We have to do it with love. We don’t hate them. We love our people. We love our family, and that’s the way to do it: with love. Don’t forget that. Please. Thank you.”
