I’m on my way to Minnesota right now to cover growing protests in Minneapolis following the killing of Alex Pretti.
On the plane, I’ve been chatting with Abby Roza, who is retuning to her hometown.
Like many Minnesotans, she was on the front lines of protests after Renee Good’s death two weeks ago. She was also out in the streets protesting nearly six years ago when George Floyd was killed.
But, Roza says, the law enforcement response to more recent protests is “uniquely aggressive”.
“They’re openly aggressive towards people who aren’t doing anything,” she said, describing an instance where she and others were peacefully protesting together near ICE headquarters in the city and dozens of people were pushed to the ground by ICE agents.
I asked if she plans to go out again and protest the death of Alex Petti. Roza said yes.
“I’m sure I’ll go out but I also think you can’t be in Minneapolis right now and not run into ICE doing something weird,” she said. “I won’t need to be protesting to run into ICE in the neighbourhood.”
