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.

Do some of you understand what's going on? They are deporting illegal Immigrants and criminals breaking the law, stealing from us. your opinion now should have been the same when Obama deported 3 Million people and Biden deported over 1 Million people , yet no one cared, why are people in the streets now? ohh wait I know, because the TV told you it was wrong, Look around you, WAKE up! the law is what it is no matter who's in office, no one gave a rats ass till now. look , read , go down the rabbit hole. I guarantee if you really look, you will have a different opinion
