I'm I'm Hi, Mata Kyiapi, this is Nick Estes with the Red Nation podcast.

We have a special episode today. We're live with Vinnie Dion, who's with the Red Nation podcast. We have a special episode today. We're live with Vinnie Dion,

who's with the Indigenous Protector Movement. We're going to be talking about what's happening

in Minneapolis right now. I mean, there's a lot of stuff going on. Just kind of update folks.

I mean, everyone's been watching the news but i'll just say

whatever you're seeing on the news it's much worse on the ground there's a lot more happening

than what's being reported there's a lot of misinformation out there you know they are like

targeting native people on the street but they're basically in what I've seen, just in my own neighborhood,

they're basically going after anyone, anyone who they think is standing in the way, ICE,

Immigration Customs Enforcement is here. Like they are staying near campus. We're actually

recording live near campus. And they're staying at a place called the Graduate Hotel.

They've been, you know, they've been all over the city to kind of get people oriented to the numbers.

So there are 3,000 ICE agents reported that are stationed here right now.

The city of Minneapolis has around like 650 police officers. St. Paul has around

550 police officers. I don't know what Hennepin County has in terms of sheriff's deputies.

But suffice it to say, they actually outnumber the police on the streets and who are like who are active.

There's been a lot of reporting on the response from community or city officials and

elected leadership.

I have, you know, my good friend and brother here, Vincent Dion, I'll bring you on stage right

now.

I'm managing everything. So if there's a little bit of a technical Vincent Dion, I'll bring you on stage right now. I'm managing everything.

So if there's a little bit of a technical hiccup, I apologize.
