ICE hasn't left Minnesota. Only 700 of the 2700 agents there have been withdrawn and they are still seizing people in the state. https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026/feb/12/ice-crackdown-minnesota-suburbs

The Guardian is quoting WIRED, nearly verbatim. I recommend subscribing to their newsletters...one is called ICE TRACKER. It's ahead of the curve every time.

Oh no! They don't deserve being treated with kid gloves, on the contrary, they would have to be tarred, feathered, and carried out of state on a rail. Sorry, at times I have too much imagination!

There is also a pediatric mobile health unit (see here: https://www.instagram.com/reel/DT_idKgEQ93) doing critical work in the city. You can support their work here: https://hennepinhealthcare.org/donate-support-your-healthcare-safety-net. Choose "Pediatric Mobile Healthcare" from the drop-down menu.

There is also a general fund for rent relief and basic needs for people whose lives have been upended by the state of siege: https://givebutter.com/rent4mplsfamilies A great place to give generously. Thank you, Steve, as always.

Minnesota showed the country how mobilizing and supporting your neighbors (in frigid temps, no less) really makes a difference. I'm in awe of their steadfast efforts!

Thanks for all the helpful links!

My friend Amos is a nurse practitioner up here; his friend Holly is a nurse practitioner in the Twin Cities. She and others have been helping Somali and Hispanic families on the east side through Venmo @sunnyinstpaul

Thank you Steve for your invaluable work and directly those of us unable to be in Minnesota to other ways of being helpful.
