🚨BREAKING: ICE/Border Patrol agents are proving once again that they are not targeting violent criminals…

They are targeting children and families.

On Sunday, agents were caught illegally operating in Minneapolis public parks, in direct violation of city orders, and then tear-gassing spaces designed for kids and families.

This happened at Powderhorn Park.

In the video, ICE agents are seen aggressively driving into the parking lot of a public park, on a Sunday… a day when families and children regularly sled, play, and gather there.

U.S. citizens are already in the park. They begin recording and blowing whistles.

An ICE agent then chases a U.S. citizen through the park, tackles him to the ground, and handcuffs him.

While that’s happening, other agents begin deploying tear gas, throwing canisters at U.S. citizens who are nowhere near them, filling the parking lot and the park itself with smoke.

Tear gas causes respiratory distress, burning eyes, nausea, and panic… effects that are especially dangerous for children.

And agents illegally deployed chemical agents anyway, in an open public park, with families nearby.

That is excessive use of force, and child endangerment.

And they did all of it while being explicitly prohibited from operating in the park in the first place…

The Minneapolis Mayor’s Executive Order 2025-02 bans civil immigration enforcement staging on city property.

On January 7th, 2026, the Minneapolis Park and Recreation Board unanimously passed a resolution aligning with that order, explicitly prohibiting ICE from staging or operating in parks.

ICE did it anyway.

And it didn’t stop there…

Later, that same day, around 12:45 PM, ICE agents were seen sitting in Folwell Park, another public park.

A woman approaches them, calmly cites the order, and tells them they are not allowed to be there and need to leave.

ICE/Border Patrol are choosing spaces where children gather instead of places where actual crimes occur, then responding to public scrutiny by assaulting civilians and deploying chemical weapons.

If ICE/Border Patrol are willing to do this in broad daylight, on a Sunday, in front of families, while being filmed, after being explicitly told they are not allowed to be there…

Then they are not enforcing the law.

They are endangering children and assaulting anyone who dares to exercise their First Amendment rights, and say that’s not okay.

@allenanalysis As our species evolves, we need to evolve past having billionaires exist.

These people are morally repugnant, megalomaniacal, greedy and use their money to buy either access or reprieve from the law.

It’s wild that people look up to billionaires. Just disgusting awful people.

[Qasim Rashid, Esq. @QasimRashid]

Much love to Alex Pretti and Renee Good—but remember—ICE has killed 9 people in 2026. You know the names of the 2 white people they've killed.

ICE has also killed a Black man named Keith Porter, a Cambodian named Parady La, and five Latinos named Heber Sanchaz Domínguez, Victor Manuel Diaz, Luis Beltran Yanez-Cruz, Luis Gustavo Nunez Caceres, and Geraldo Lunas Campos.

ICE is on pace to kill more than 100 people this year. Abolish ICE. Impeach Noem. Prosecute those who committed these crimes.

🚨🇺🇸 BREAKING: Protesters in Los Angeles just projected an anti-ICE video onto a building.

And it wasn’t just any building.

It was Twin Towers, an ICE-linked detention facility where LASD actively collaborates with ICE for deportation screening.

This is what resistance looks like when people stop pretending everything is normal.

Sixteen years ago, the Supreme Court decided that corporations are people under the First Amendment.

Today, sold-out politicians block progress on all fronts to appease their corporate donors.

Citizens United is among the worst decisions in history. It corrupts our system every day.

[Robert Reich @RBReich]

Any one of us could be detained for hours by ICE despite being a U.S. citizen.

Any one of us could be in the next apartment building that ICE raids in the middle of the night.

Any one of us could be the next to be brutalized by ICE for speaking out.

Authoritarianism hurts all of us.

Why POC collectively hold our breath when there’s a mass shooting or high profile crime before the suspect is even identified:

• Afghan man shoots a National Guard member:
With zero knowledge of the background or motive, the right screams that Muslims are terrorists and must be deported.

• Latino commits a crime:
They demand a border wall, mass raids, and family separation.

• Black man commits a crime:
They blame “Black culture,” call us thugs, and push for harsher policing.

• Chinese American commits a crime:
They warn about spies, loyalty tests, and “foreign influence.”

• Arab American commits a crime:
They demand surveillance, registries, and loyalty oaths.

• Native American commits a crime:
They talk about “lawless reservations.”

• Refugee commits a crime:
They claim all refugees are a threat to America.

• Jewish suspect commits a crime:
They use it to stoke conspiracies about “elite globalists.”

• But when a white American shoots up a whole ass school:
It’s the video games.
It’s the music.
It’s mental health.
It’s anything except whiteness.

One group gets collective suspicion and punishment.
One group gets endless excuses.

Fascinating that all those “don’t tread on me” posers and their AR-15’s are nowhere to be seen and government tyranny is instead being opposed by a guy in an inflatable frog suit.

Turns out, the MAGA Supreme Court is the one interested in converting your kids through the use of quack doctors with medically unsound practices based on no scientific evidence. "Every accusation is a confession" with them.

A thread.

[Warren Gunnels @GunnelsWarren]

Since Election Day, the 4 wealthiest men in the world (Elon Musk, Larry Ellison, Mark Zuckerberg & Jeff Bezos) have become $248 billion richer and are now worth $1.211 trillion.

The $7.25 federal minimum wage hasn’t gone up in 16 years.

Yes. That’s what oligarchy looks like.
