An intense cat-and-mouse game is putting enraged residents face to face with heavily armed federal agents.
Jan. 17, 2026
Fear and fury can explode on any street corner during this charged time in Minneapolis, any time, any place the muscle of the federal government meets the rage of the citizens who reject its tactics.
Thousands of people attended a march last Saturday to mourn Renee Good, the woman an ICE agent had shot and killed days earlier. There have been school walkouts, daily protests outside the federal building where agents take detainees, four-person protests on frigid street corners and an hourslong demonstration after an ICE agent shot a man in the leg while attempting to detain him on Wednesday night.
But the ICE agents soon ran a red light and disappeared.
Soooo sounds like they’re breaking the law. Fucking Christ its so infuriating to be told not to break the law while they do.
But tsk tsk anything beyond carrying placards in orderly protests would simply play into the Trump regime’s plans. We must stay on the sidewalk not in the street, obey all orders from authorities, avoid profanities on our posters, never fight back, and always address police and ICE with respect.
