A U.S. citizen dragged out of his home, barely clothed, into the cold. A 5-year-old detained on his way home from preschool. This is the reality of what ICE is doing with their $75 billion budget. Wouldn’t this be better spent on health care?

Tina Smith@smith.senate.govJan 22(source)

ICE is detaining preschoolers. They’re breaking windows, stealing people out of their homes, forcing a U.S. citizen to walk in his underwear in freezing temperatures to a detention facility. This isn’t the way it has to be if Congress actually exerts its muscle and says no to more ICE funding.

“the agent took the child out of the still-running car, led him to the door and directed him to knock on the door asking to be let in in order to see if anyone else was home, essentially using a 5-year-old as bait.” Agents later took the father and child away in a vehicle and sent them to Texas

Terrorizing our kids is not going to make our communities safer. ICE needs to end this surge in Minnesota – and I refuse to vote to send more funding to DHS and ICE when they continue to trample on the rights of Minnesotans and make our communities less safe.

ICE finally let her go after several days.We can’t let America become a country that lets agents arbitrarily take people into custody for days with no recourse, no contact with family. That’s not who we are. Those aren’t our values.

Tina Smith@smith.senate.govJan 21(source)

Her family came to the United States legally and has every right to be here. But because of the color of her skin, she was snatched off the street. For days, her family had no information on where she was being held and no way to reach her.

A Minnesota high school student was nabbed by ICE agents as she was trying to pick up food for her family after work. She was violently dragged from her car and lost her shoes. So, barefoot in the middle of winter, she was put into the back of an unmarked car in a small town (Willmar).

This is a U.S. citizen. No criminal record. No search warrant. No excuse. Unabashed cruelty & indiscriminate violence is ICE’s point & purpose.

ICE agents are now racially profiling and harassing *off duty police officers* in Minnesota and demanding their papers.

This is another senseless tragedy. ICE has an obligation to keep detainees safe. We need a complete and impartial investigation of what is happening in these detention centers.

My daughter's school in Richfield, MN (adjacent to Minneapolis) is closing tomorrow due of out-of-control federal agents. Fourth graders spent the week building walls of snow at recess to protect their classmates from ICE. This isn't about immigration enforcement, it's about terror.

ICE agents eat at small-town Mexican restaurant — then arrest workers
Federal agents detained three workers from a family-owned Mexican restaurant in Willmar yesterday, hours after four agents ate lunch there.

It was not immediately clear what the immigration status of those detained was, or whether the people detained included the restaurant’s owners or only workers.

An eyewitness who declined to give a name for fear of retribution, told the Minnesota Star Tribune that four ICE agents sat in a booth for a meal at El Tapatio a little before 3 p.m. Staff at the restaurant were frightened, said the eyewitness, who shared pictures from the restaurant as well as video of the arrest.

The arrest happened around 8:30 p.m. near a Lutheran church and Willmar Middle School as agents followed the workers after they closed up for the night. A handful of bystanders blew whistles and shouted at agents as they detained the people. “Would your mama be proud of you right now?” one of the bystanders asked.

One of the stories that makes me the saddest out of this ICE invasion is one out of the Minnesota Star Tribune today about ICE agents eating at a little Mexican restaurant in the small town of Willmar, Minn, —and then, when they were done, arresting some of the workers.

A federal judge has prohibited federal immigration agents in Minnesota from arresting, detaining, retaliating against or using force and chemical irritants against peaceful protesters and observers.

Federal judge bars ICE agents from ‘retaliating’ against protesters in Minnesota

The injunction filed Jan. 16 follows a lawsuit brought by six Minnesota residents during the early days of Operation Metro Surge last month.

Well-trained law enforcement would de-escalate. Their first instinct should NOT be “shoot first and ask questions later.”

For years, these corrupt, activist politicians have refused to protect Minnesotans and are now proposing illegal actions to keep their stranglehold on control and continue stealing from American citizens.
We will root out this rampant fraud, we will arrest the criminal illegal aliens hurting Americans with impunity, and we will hold those who aid and abetted this criminality accountable.
