Support our work: https://democracynow.org/donate/sm-desc-yt Trump's immigration enforcement surge continues to rock Minnesota, just a week after the ICE shooting of Renee Good, a mother of three and U.S. citizen in Minneapolis. _The Minnesota Star Tribune_ reports that the number of federal agents now in Minneapolis and Saint Paul outstrips the 10 largest Twin Cities metro police departments combined. "We don't want ICE in our neighborhoods. They are violent, they are creating chaos and terrorizing our immigrant neighbors, and they are not keeping anyone safe," says vice president of the Saint Paul City Council, Hwa Jeong Kim, who comments on the city's new lawsuit against the Trump administration, the loss of temporary protected status for thousands of Somali immigrants in the United States, plans for a general strike in Minneapolis and more.

We need the National Guards now, protecting local businesses and the residents.

For those interested in knowing a much larger story that the news media is not reporting on, involving the killing Renee Good, read the 2013 PERF report on CBP's use of excessive force, available on line, then draw your conclusion. For anyone who doesn't know, Jonathan Ross worked as a CBP officer from 2005 to 2015.

They are using basic mob tactics. Creating a cycle of fear using intimidation, violence, and repetition.

These agents are gangbangers; this is not law enforcement. They truly undermine the integrity of the institution. They are an insult to any police officer.

It´s crazy that the mayor of a city has to carry around two forms of identification. A warning from Germany: we had this around the 1930´s. The SS/Gestapo would go around rounding up the Jews, also with no regard to the law. Anyone not seeing this in what´s going on in your country is blind. You need to put an end to this immeadiately, otherwise it will not end well...

Why are people waiting? The longer this goes on, the more impossible it will be to stop it. Every protest should be at the offices of Congress, who could fix this in a nonviolent way. If violence breaks out, I think they should be concerned that they might be the first targets. Both parties have failed us.
