Independent journalist Andrew Mercado is LIVE in Minneapolis outside of the Whipple federal building on his YouTube channel from an ICE protest to kick off a week of action in Minnesota as, despite the mainstream media narrative, ICE is still active in Minnesota terrorizing innocent people (watch stream above).
Despite the Trump administration’s declaration that it was ending its Minnesota terror campaign and removing 3,000 agents, there are still hundreds of ICE agents conducting raids. In fact, the main difference now between the worst of the ICE terror campaign in January and now is simply ICE and Border Patrol have moved further out of Minneapolis and St. Paul and are now mainly operating in the suburbs.
ICE is also operating more deceptively; reports indicate ICE is using more deceptive misdirection—including ICE agents putting “Fuck ICE” stickers on their vehicles to throw observers off the scent and to no longer follow their vehicles.
ICE’s continued presence in Minnesota comes as President Trump’s Department of Justice continues to blow off orders handed down by Judges forbidding them from detaining or deporting individual immigrants ICE abducted with no due process.
