As Minnesotans organize a general strike tomorrow to oppose the ICE attack on their state — businesses closing, restaurants shuttered, schools shut down, etc. — Anat Shenker-Osorio tells the rest of us how we can support this:
"Be in solidarity."

"Per a blockbuster report by the Associated Press, ICE agents have received actual secret instructions from their higher-ups to disregard established Fourth Amendment home protections. This is not just a violation of our cherished constitutionally guaranteed liberties."

"Trump’s approval on immigration has dropped to 44% approve / 53% disapprove (net -9), and his deportation policy is at 42% / 54% (net -12). Border security remains his only positive issue at 50% / 46% (net +4). Trump’s numbers on all three have declined since our last poll in October, 2025."

"Lunas Campos died of asphyxiation after guards put pressure on his neck and chest during an altercation during which Lunas Campos asked for his medication. Two detainees testified that they saw guards choking Lunas Campos, who repeatedly told them he couldn’t breathe. The Trump administration has since tried to deport the two witnesses."

"Vance is visiting the Twin Cities today, and they’ve launched a new operation in Maine. For in their collective madness this will to power, this need to feel their boot on our neck, their seizing of Gaza and Venezuela - all of it has become the central project of the regime. It is not about what is good for the country. It is about more and more power and control."

"This [i.e., ICE breaking into homes without a valid warrant] is a deeply disturbing development and one we’ll be following closely. It is such a departure from established Fourth Amendment rules that it’s perilously close to open disregard for constitutional rights."

Pressekonferenz von Ärzt*innen in #Minnesota. Sie berichten über die Auswirkungen von #ICE in den Spitälern.
Schwer kranke Menschen, die aus Angst, das Haus zu verlassen, tagelang warten, bis sie die Notfallaufnahme aufsuchen.
ICE-Schergen, die vor den Notfallaufnahmen stehen und "verdächtig aussehende Menschen" festnehmen.
ICE-Schergen, die in die Behandlungszimmer eindringen, Menschen vom Untersuchungstisch weg festnehmen und das medizinische Personal sowie auch die Security und die lokale Polizei bedrohen.
Abteilungen, wo die Hälfte des Personals - oft Latino oder Somali - aus Angst nicht mehr in die Arbeit kommen (Leute, die in der schlimmsten Zeit der Pandemie keinen Tag gefehlt haben).
Verletzte, die von ICE in die Unfallabteilung gebracht werden, deren Verletzungen mit den Schilderungen von ICE nicht zusammenpassen, aber daran gehindert werden, selbst den Unfallhergang zu schildern.
Die Liste geht lange weiter.

Anm.: In Ermangelung eines besseren Wortes habe ich "ICE agents" mit "ICE-Beamte" übersetzt. Im vollen Wissen, dass es sich eigentlich nicht um Beamte handelt.

Cumberland County Sheriff #KevinJoyce denounces actions by #ICE agents in #Maine
Maine Public | By Patty Wight
Published January 22, 2026
"Cumberland County Sheriff Kevin Joyce says ICE officials are telling one story about their operation to arrest 'the worst of the worst' in Maine, but the reality on the ground is entirely different.
"During a press conference Thursday, Joyce confirmed that ICE agents arrested a corrections officer recruit who he described as 'squeaky clean.'
"Joyce declined to name the officer, but he said he underwent a rigorous vetting process, including a background check, before he was hired last year. He said he had no criminal record, was following the rules, and had permission to work in Maine through the spring of 2029.
" 'I guess if you're not a card carrying US citizen, then you must be illegal,' Joyce said. 'Because that's what they told me, is he's illegal. And he's definitely not a criminal. So what part of him is illegal? I don't know.'
"Joyce said roughly a half dozen ICE agents arrested the officer Wednesday night and left his running car unattended on a city street in Portland. He described the arrest as 'bush league' and said law enforcement officers would first need probable cause to make an arrest and would never abandon a vehicle in that way."

"It’s sad that it feels like we are going back in time, but I am happy to see that Minnesotans are going out and speaking up. We need to speak up and be in solidarity to see change, that is the only way we can turn the tide. …

"David Rudovsky, a University of Pennsylvania law professor, also noted the similarities. 'I think about the civil rights movement in the South and how Southern law enforcement reacted with hoses, dogs and lynchings,' he said.
Images of Birmingham’s police dogs sinking their teeth into protesters shocked the world. The aggressive conduct of federal agents in Minneapolis has also raised alarm, particularly following the shooting death of Ms. Good."
"Ms. [Michele] Goodwin was one of several legal scholars and criminal justice experts who said the conduct of ICE agents during Operation Metro Surge, the government’s name for its immigration crackdown in Minneapolis, evoked the attacks by police officers in Birmingham, Ala., on civil rights protesters in 1963."

"Trump is attempting to create his own occupying army for resistant localities. Initially this took the form of National Guard troops that — along with ICE agents — descended on Los Angeles, Portland, and Chicago, carrying out military-style raids utilizing tear gas and stun grenades. But after the bill passed, ICE had more resources. In a matter of months, the number of ICE agents doubled from 10,000 to 22,000."

"Despite what might seem like their overwhelming force, those 3,000 CBP agents and ICE officers are wildly outnumbered by Angry Minnesota Neighbors. Moreover, these Bovino operations are hugely resource-intensive, and can only happen in 2-3 cities at the same time across the country.
The terror — and danger — is real, yes, but don’t let that blind you to the fact that right now on America’s streets, good people are winning."

"We know precisely how much of ICE and CBP’s current strategy is just out-and-out racial profiling because during the brief window last summer when an LA judge ordered them to stop racial profiling, arrests dropped by 2/3.
The deportation rate of people without criminal convictions went up nearly ten-fold in 2025, and the rate of deportations of people who have been in the US for four years or longer nearly tripled."

"Now ICE officers are cruising the streets of America without any idea who they’re looking for — they’re conducting 'Kavanaugh Stops,' profiling people of color anywhere they dare show their face in public. Heavily armed CBP agents, meanwhile, are raiding Home Depot parking lots to round up day laborers because it’s the low-hanging fruit of immigration enforcement."

"There is a US city living under occupation by fascist presidential secret police right now. ...
The moment that Stephen Miller set his '3000 arrests a day' quote last spring, ICE and CBP had to abandon any pretext of doing targeted enforcement operations; it took too long and required too many officers."

"Miller plainly places more importance on reducing the totals of people here—or trying to get here—than on removing people who pose any actual danger. He appears to be actively prioritizing shifting the ethnic mix of the country over public safety."

"Miller’s mission of boosting deportation numbers of necessity requires arresting people who are not criminals or gang members—people who have jobs and have become integrated into U.S. communities—because there’s no other way to get the removals up. But it makes us less safe."

He’s pulling us out of various NATO committees just because he wants to."
