Summary

This morning we’re taking a step back to look at where we are and how we got here, and it’s looking more and more like we’re living in a police state. From unchecked federal force to escalating enforcement, civil liberties are under strain and public trust is evaporating. The ICE crisis in Minneapolis has exploded into something far bigger than one city. After the deaths of Renée Good and Alex Pretti, protesters have taken to the streets in bitter cold, and the movement has spread beyond Minnesota as people across the country demand accountability and the removal of ICE from communities.
