ICE is exceeding their role to intimidate the citizens.
tekani11 on
For anyone not living in MN right now. This is actually very scary. Even as a white male I’m having a troubling time with it. I can’t even put myself in the shoes of those immediately targeted yet but I’m sure that day is coming.
I went and purchased a meal from a local restaurant yesterday and had a chat with the server. Business is super slow, and they are terrified of tomorrow. I’ll continue to do what I can to support these businesses and individuals.
That’s all we can do. Be there for our neighbors. Because together we are stronger and make life worth living. Be kind, be nice, and not just “Minnesota nice”.
Fuck trump. Fuck Vance, fuck this useless GOP protecting whatever the fuck is going on in the USA right now. I am so tired, but I won’t stop standing up for kindness, and love.

So far they’ve really only done this shit in purple states right? I’m curious what happens when they try a full out assault on somewhere like Boston

They grabbed a 17-year-old kid. Put him in their van. Drove him a couple of ~~blocks~~ miles away while they did who knows what to him in the car. Then bodied him out of the car and slammed him onto the pavement. Before driving away. The video of him getting back to target ~~minutes~~ later is him covered in blood and in tears.

Newsweek, why use the word “aggressively” in quotes? They beat the shit out of a 17 year old minor. It is so saddening to see a once great news outlet become a tabloid.

These damn media companies and their headlines….should have been “US Citizens civil rights violated during Cavanaugh stop”

“Aggressively detained” is a wild way to say “they grabbed and beat up a 17 year old kid before throwing him in a car and dropping him at a random Walmart”

Would be awesome if target steps up and sues on behalf of their employee

So this is pure vindictive revenge for that video where they were talking through target after using the bathroom and getting yelled at by people right? Mother fuckers.

They tried to break into the local pizza place in my neighborhood because it has been running a very successful pizza for protesters drive. Luckily people at the intersection started screaming at them to stop and they gave up, but they still tried to tear gas these people after attempting to break into a pizza shop for no legal reason.
The situation in Minneapolis is FAR FAR FAR worse than the national media is showing the rest of the country.

I really wish mainstream media would call out this administration’s constant lying whenever they hold press conferences about ICE “protecting the country” and “keeping America safe.” These immigration and customs enforcement agents are just secret police gestapo that are roaming the streets attacking innocent people and kidnapping them.

Bye bye fourth amendment. How many is that now? the first amendment, the fourth amendment..probably more, need to brush up on my Constitution.

Folks, if you weren’t already boycotting Target, now’s the time to start. Big corporations need to feel massive pain over what ICE is doing to their employees and shoppers. The only things that talk in this country are minimum 3.5% of the population protesting and money.

They nabbed them and rough ride’d them.
Its text book thug dictator tactics. Just like the gestapo or Pinochets goons.

Why’d they put aggressively in quotes?

That was a hard video to watch, but necessary to see what’s happening.

“Terrible things are happening outside. At any time of night and day, poor helpless people are being dragged out of their homes. They’re allowed to take only a knapsack and a little cash with them, and even then, they’re robbed of these possessions on the way. Families are torn apart; men, women and children are separated. Children come home from school to find that their parents have disappeared. Women return from shopping to find their houses sealed, their families gone.”
They have videos on these poor kids being taken. Its horrible. They pulled them out of target because they are Brown. Took them away, and after hurting them found out they were US citizens and dropped them off at a Walmart. Bunch of good citizens helped them out at the Walmart. They are coming for everyone eventually. Might not make it to midterms at this point.
Waltz should activate the National Guard. Because this is insane.
NAZIS.

A KID. An American citizen. Working. Paying taxes. Treated like an animal. Why???
We all know why. If you support this shit, you’re actually the one who should leave this country.
Erratic__Ocelot on
They kidnapped and beat at least one minor, possibly a second minor as well – both U.S. citizens.
ICE agents are far worse than the illegal immigrants they’re supposed to be rounding up. They’re the real criminals.
It’s clear the real reason they’re in MN is to terrorize and punish the residents of a state that didn’t vote for Trump.

Always seems to be at targets. Hmmm. The ceo up to his shenanigans again?

Target management or corporate probably called it in. Fuck Target.
keelhaulrose on
I doubt there are any conservatives here, or at least none willing to show their faces like the ICE agents in their masks, but I’ll ask anyways:
What is the justification for this?
How does kidnapping a teenage citizen, beating him, and throwing him out of the car make America great?
Explain it to me like I’m 5, because I really want to know how do many of you can be okay with this.
christinextine on
How are these ice agents not dying of asphyxiation? Isn’t lack of oxygen one of the big reasons they didn’t want to wear masks during the pandemic?
MugDudee on
He wasn’t just a citizen, he was a minor. A 17 year old kid was dragged out of his workplace, beaten and harassed, ICE couldn’t get anything from him so they threw him back on the street, crying in fear and pain. Absolutely Disgusting.
belovedstoneworker on
Bet no one five years ago ever thought we’d have lawless bully wannabe soldiers abducting and beating up children. Sounds like something out of a dystopian movie. How these guys haven’t run into somebody with a fuck it nothing to lose mentality yet is kind of wild.

Target allows this to happen. Sue them and ice

If you have a Target Circle account for rewards/points, it’s pretty easy to cancel by logging into [Target.com](http://Target.com), going to Legal/Privacy, and submitting a request to delete your account. Unfortunately you won’t get a form asking why you’re deleting your account, which is odd to say the least, but I’m guessing they know. Supposedly you can call 1-800-831-6880 to do the same thing and they may ask, but I don’t know because I deleted mine online.

Are peaceful protests enough to stop this?

He was threatening the ICE agents by working! Paid and professional agitator! He was a dangerous left wing extremist!

Another reason to not shop at Target.

My local newspaper had some asshole in the comments saying if you are here legally you have nothing to worry about.
What the fuck is this?
This is a crime! This is not normal, this is not ok. People should be fired over this. We shouldn’t accept anything less than criminal charges.

And that’s another reason not to shop at Target.

Not aggressively. **Violently.** And they are minors. American citizen minors were violently brutalized by federal thugs.

The video footage was posted on a sub reddit. It was absolutely horrible. He was crying so hard and was so afraid. I’ll try to find it.
