ICE agents in Minnesota have detained at least four children from the same school district this month, including a 5-year-old boy.

School officials accused ICE officers of using the 5-year-old “as bait” to lure his father out of the house. https://t.co/2iK1zHb5YO

Renee Nicole Good, the woman shot & killed by an ICE agent, had a young son whose father died in 2023, according to the Star Tribune

“There’s nobody else in his life,” the boy’s grandfather said. “I’ll drive. I’ll fly. To come get my grandchild.” https://t.co/KNy7fbMIFW

It might not be a traditional Valentine’s Day story, but it’s definitely one about love. Sandra and Kalani’s son is homeless and battling addiction, so they began making meals for him—and then for others in his encampment who they now consider family. https://t.co/OrOkxoOidz
