Minneapolis: Trade unions march for immigrant rights
Minneapolis, MN – Over 1000 union members, immigrant rights activists and supporters marched through Minneapolis’ Whittier neighborhood on Monday, February 16, to demand an end to ICE’s occupation of the city and for the defense of immigrant rights.
Marchers held dozens of banners with slogans like “ICE our now,” “Legalization for all,” and “Killer ICE off our streets.” The march began at Stewart Park, crossed a highway where the supportive honks of passing traffic temporarily drowned out the marchers’ chants, and ended at the intersection of Nicollet Avenue and 26th Street, where Alex Pretti was murdered.

After 2nd ICE murder in Minneapolis, community demands ‘Killer ICE off our streets!’
Minneapolis, MN – ICE has committed its second open murder of 2026 in the Twin Cities, with the fatal shooting of a legal observer on Nicollet Avenue in Minneapolis on the morning of January 24. The Minnesota Immigrant Rights Action Committee (MIRAC), quickly had members on the scene to document and began planning a vigil for the fallen community member.
The shooting was witnessed and documented by several bystanders, some of whom were then detained by ICE. In a widely circulated video from one bystander, five to six ICE agents can be seen swarming, tackling and pistol-whipping a community member. As the civilian kneels, surrounded by agents, one agent shoots him. The agents then begin to back up, and at least one of them shoots the community member several more times as he lies motionless on the ground.

Immigrant rights activists call upon city leaders to enforce sanctuary city policies, not police protesters
Minneapolis, MN – On January 21, the Minnesota Immigrant Rights Action Committee (MIRAC) held a press conference outside Mayor Jacob Frey’s office to respond to the federal agents’ ongoing assault upon the people of Minneapolis, and to demand that city officials prosecute the violent agents harming our communities, rather than the people reacting to that harm.

Here's one report of what happened yesterday, in the #MinnesotaGeneralStrike .
#ReneeGood #MIRAC #USPolitics #NoKings #ElbowsUp #NeverAgain #USPolitics #Minnesota
I won't be setting a #SlowLife task for #MinnesotaGeneralStrike day.
If perhaps you want to lend your support from 6Mm away (or wherever), ideas include boycotting the #soccer for enabling the corrupt and craven #FIFAPeacePrize and boycotting (not even opening the WWW sites or apps for) the companies such as Paramount, FaceBook, and Uber that paid 'presidential library' tributes to #DonaldJTrump.

A week ago, someone questioned why the #MinnesotaGeneralStrike had not happened immediately, and I pointed out what M. Bates Imari had said about time to organize and to campaign #Minnesota businesses.
It's still on for 2026-01-23, and the same news organization that I hyperlinked-to last time has been tracking what #Minneapolis/ #StPaul/other businesses are intending to do in terms of support for strikers and whatnot.
Minneapolis: Massive protest slams reactionary Jake Lang
Minneapolis, MN – The People’s Action Coalition Against Trump (PACAT) organized a massive mobilization to protest Jake Lang’s planned “Crusader March,” where he announced that he would burn a Quran on the steps of City Hall before marching into the predominantly Somali Cedar-Riverside neighborhood.
He and a handful of other racists were confronted by extreme cold weather. They were shut down and chased away by an overwhelming crowd of at least 1000, who answered PACAT’s call for a “Protest to defend our neighbors!”

معراج گیجەڭز مبارك اولا ایرنلر ! #Mirac
اللهم صل و سلم علی سیدنا محمد و علی آل سیدنا محمد
"...
Ve fikir, dipsiz fikir, ebedilik süresi…
Kum tanesinden küçük, bastığı arz küresi…
Kur’an esrar oluğu
Sonsuzluğun soluğu
İsrâ… gece gitmek… Kur’an da ismi
Bir yolculuk… İsrâ
..."
Miraç'ın miracımız olması dileğiyle..
Gecemiz kutlu olsun..
Selam ve dua ile.
Because that is not how the world works. Witness this very thread. It's almost 24 hours since the announcement, yet people are still only just learning about it.
M. Bates Imari said in the press conference (q.v.) that the lead time was there to organize, to get the word out, to campaign MN businesses such as #Target to "pick a side" when it comes to their employees. Clearly, it takes days just to do one of those.
2026-01-23 is the day of the #MinnesotaGeneralStrike, which (apparently to avoid the barmy stigma that U.S.A. people attach to the word 'strike') they are calling a 'Day of Truth and Freedom'.
It has been called in response to the death of #ReneeGood and the general military and paramilitary violence in the U.S.A. over the past few months.
The #Minnesota Star Tribune and FOX9 have failed so far to report this. But CBS has it.

Thousands march in Minneapolis calling for ICE to leave Minnesota
Protests against Immigration and Customs Enforcement in Minneapolis continued Saturday, with thousands taking to the streets calling for ICE to leave.
Saturday afternoon saw what looked to be thousands gather at Powderhorn Park in Minneapolis, where a march was set to take place, with protestors calling for ICE to leave the state.
Organized by the Minnesota Immigrant Rights Action Committee (MIRAC), the group spoke out against ICE, as well as its recent announcement that 2,000 more agents would be sent to Minnesota to assist with operations in the state.
The protest is just one of many the city has seen in recent days after 37-year-old Renee Good was shot and killed by an ICE agent on Wednesday.
READ MORE:
The Department of Homeland Security has stood by the ICE agent, stating Good attempted to run the agent over in her vehicle, and he fired in self-defense.
Others have pushed back against the self-defense narrative, arguing that Good was not trying to hit the agent, including Minnesota Governor Tim Walz and Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey.
