Things have been a •lot• quieter in Minneapolis the last 5+ days.

Even if ICE + CBP presence in the Twin Cities goes back to pre-Dec levels (which to be clear it •has not• yet done), we will be living with this for a long time. The world will be moving on, the national press will forget about us no doubt, but we’ll be living with this.
Nobody here thinks we’re done. But a lot of us are cautiously hopeful that we are now entering a time where this is some room for repairing and rebuilding.
Cautiously hopeful. But vigilant.

@inthehands Thanks for keeping us informed. I think your analysis is very plausible. It's a pause that will hopefully bring back some energy and give you some time to regroup and heal some wounds.

Since they murdered Alex Pretti, or maybe since a day or two after and •still• no ICE agents were killed in retaliation, the writing has been on the wall. I’ve been expecting them for a while to declare MISSION ACCOMPLISHED and change strategies.
My guess — and it’s only a guess — is that this is what we’re seeing now.

@inthehands I’m surprised they didn’t stage a killing. You know they don’t value the agents of color any more than they do “illegals”

You could eradicate homelessness in the US for a fraction of the price ICE is paying for future concentration camps. It's a choice made by Trump to prioritise deporting immigrants rather than housing American citizens.
