To the brave, resilient, and compassionate people of Minnesota working against ICE, we see you. We see your warmth, solidarity, and courage in defending your neighbors.
You are standing in the face of unimaginable pressure, bringing thousands to the streets even in sub-zero temperatures to demand that ICE leave your communities. Your dedication to protecting the dignity, rights, and lives of all immigrant communities—even in the wake of heartbreak and tragic violence—is a profound testament to your humanity.
To everyone who is delivering food, providing safe spaces, and acting as legal observers: you are proving that when federal forces bring chaos and fear, local community love is the ultimate resistance.
