The city of Minneapolis has just emailed this notice to residents:

But it applies everywhere. If your city isn't under siege yet, hang onto it because if you have a Democratic mayor or governor, the occupation is coming your way.

1. Is this the first time they've done this?

2. Not sure. Their emails usually just have to do with snow emergencies or trash collection

so I might have missed an earlier one.

9. From the street sign it looks like this is in Frogtown, a St. Paul neighborhood

where a lot of Vietnamese and Hmong people live.

[Kali]

11. a friend on another site said yes they are asking about where the Asians are

and going after Hmong

[Ocelot II]

13. Hmong people began arriving in the US as refugees from the SE Asia war in the late '70s.

Many of them had assisted the CIA in operations in Laos. There haven't been many new refugees since 2001 when the Patriot Act clamped down on immigration, and, like the Somalis, a lot of the Hmong people in MN are American-born. I assume the latest ICE siege is to arrest and deport the (now) old people who arrived in the '70s.

14. First Hispanic, then Black (Somali community), now Asian

Next? Undocumented Irish?

[Ocelot II]

16. Uppity White women, it seems.

[LiberalArkie]

18. Also Native Americans

Because they look like the Mexicans...

27. After what we did to Cambodia, we have a lot of nerve

Harassing Hmong immigrants.

8. Content: Know Your Rights (in 5 languages):

Know Your Rights
The Immigrant Law Center suggests the following if federal immigration agents come to your home.

Remember:

ICE needs a judge-signed warrant with your name and address to enter.

You can ask them to show you the warrant through the window or under the door.

If there is no valid warrant, you have the right to keep your door closed.

It's in what I'll call poster form -- a good one to put on one's door

Spread the word.

15. Good for Minneapolis

Solidarity!
Thank you.

17. All right!

Minneapolis....good job!!!.....standiing and cheering right now!!

19. I am in autocracy central

A city whose whole identity springs from the Old South and Lost Cause mythology. The occupation won't ever be here because the populace clamored for Trump, holding a pair of stadium-sized events for him.

[Jack Valentino]

20. I routinely never answer a knock at my door....

but I do have a loaded shotgun close at hand in case I hear anyone breaking my door down....


(not that they would have any reason to come after me, an old white man,
unless they got wind of something I had posted on the internets!)

[OldBaldy1701E]

29. Exactly!

I get the hairy eyeball all the time for doing the same thing.

I was born and raised in the deep country. There was no help coming (except maybe neighbors, if they were close enough, able to get there soon enough, and all were on good terms.).

Based on what I am seeing... there is no help coming.

So... either do something or do nothing.

[ProudMNDemocrat]

21. I suggest posting this photo from the website on your Social Media platforms.

SPREAD the word!

We can do our parts to safeguard our rights and that of our Immigrant friends, family, and neighbors.

[Martin68]

23. The problem is you risk your life by refusing entry. They can knock the door down and arrest you anyway.

They don't care if it's illegal. the Trump administration is all about dragging out court cases, and immigrants don't have the resources to fight them in court.

[bluestarone]

24. Just wonder if they sent a picture of the warrant that gives ICE authority to arrest from private property

vs public property. They are very different looking.

[orangecrush]

25. Have we crossed the line yet?

26. Red Cards - Know your rights

https://www.ilrc.org/redcards

The link above has resources for ordering or printing "red cards," small cards (typically printed on red card stock) which lists your constitutional rights when being confronted by ICE or law enforcement.

I try to hand out several at every protest or rally I go to. Usually 75 to 80 percent of people I give them to have never heard of them. I'm hoping to make a dent in that percentage over time.

[progressoid]

28. Wait... since when does ICE follow any laws like needing a warrant.

They busted down dozens of doors in that Chicago apt building without showing a warrant.

Close to two dozen residents said agents entered their apartments without providing a warrant. Many said agents had knocked down their doors. Such a forced entry would require a judicial warrant signed by a federal judge. No such warrants have been filed publicly, though they can be kept under seal as the investigative process unfolds.

Colmenares said he didn’t open the door to his apartment because he had seen on the news that agents were supposed to have warrants. Naudelys Yayes said that, as she and her 4-year-old son were taken out of another unit, she asked an agent if they were allowed to enter without a warrant. He told her they had a warrant because “in this building there’s a lot of weapons,” but he never showed it to her.

Immigration authorities can also use so-called administrative warrants, which do not allow a forced entry. Residents must give permission for officers to enter their apartment.
