Lessons and Resources from Minneapolis This is a memo, written in haste, about the ongoing conditions of the ICE and military occupation of Minneapolis. For context, the author is a former Minneapolis (Mpls) resident who lived and organized in abolitionist, labor and migrant defense movements for 8 years who is in close contact with organizers on the ground in Minneapolis. The information here is compiled from firsthand accounts and has been vetted by four comrades in the Twin Cities (TC).The memo is not meant to be exhaustive and merely offers one starting point for others to record and share best practices and lessons. The memo covers four things: 1) What the conditions are like in Minneapolis right now, as a possible reference point for what may unfold elsewhere 2) How community is responding 3) Reflections on what we might learn from rapid response and ICE watch organizing in Minneapolis 4) Resources and trainings from Minneapolis 1) Conditions in Minneapolis What is unfolding in Minneapolis in “Operation Metro Surge” is nothing short of a federal occupation, an invasion by a poorly trained paramilitary force of ICE troops who are heavily armed, masked, and mobilized in nearly every neighborhood in the Twin Cities. There are 2,800 armed and masked federal agents in Minneapolis right now, with Noem promising to send 1000 more. It is at a scale that is unprecedented thus far. They have been abducting people off the streets, many of them US citizens, based on the color of their skin or perceived ethnicity. All over the city, large SUVs with tinted windows, full of masked ICE agents are cruising through neighborhoods and back alleys, looking for people to snatch. Friends of friends have witnessed ICE agents stuffing people into these cars in front of their houses. To give you a sense of how bad it is, a friend witnessed two children under the age of 13, out walking their dog, get abducted and placed into a van in the middle of the day. Their friend got pepper sprayed for trying to stop it. No part of the city is immune; not the primarily white, affluent neighborhoods, not the uptown commercial district which got tear gassed yesterday, nowhere. From accounts gathered from friends and trusted sources: ● Rapid-response community safety groups and immigrant rights orgs estimate there is violent federal escalation happening in their communities every 15 minutes, based on the verified reports they’ve received since last Monday. Targets: ● Businesses: ICE agents are cruising areas with immigrant-owned businesses, and kidnapping patrons and employees alike. This week they abducted two US citizen employees at a suburban Target, one who was begging them to allow him to go get his passport to show them. In another episode, someone with a passport in their pocket was abducted. Lawyers have advised shifting from Know Your Rights to Know Your Risk trainings; even they realize there is no rulesbased order to rely on anymore. ● Schools: ICE is targeting schools and school buses, and especially ESL schools. They pepper sprayed teenagers and abducted two school staff members at a high school up the street from a friend’s house on Weds. They have abducted whole groups of children from bus stops. The Minneapolis Public Schools are still in person, but are offering optional online learning for the next 4 weeks so that children who feel unsafe coming to school can shelter in place. While that has helped, several parents reported that during their kid’s hybrid classes, they have watched other kids’ apartment buildings raided on screen. ● Hospitals and Clinics are experiencing raids. Patients are scared and are canceling their appointments or just not showing up. Kids are missing their checkups and vaccines, folks aren’t getting their cancer care, etc. ● Immigrant neighborhoods, subsidized housing, mobile home parks, and other affordable housing. These have been the primary targets. There is, for eg, a plan to raid the towers, a massive housing estate for Somali refugees this week. ICE agents have been casing several mobile home parks. The main targets are areas of high housing density, known immigrant neighborhoods. Somali refugees who have staus under the UNHCR process (a very high bar to hit) are getting abducted and deported despite valid work visas Racial Profiling: ● ICE is going door to door in immigrant-heavy neighborhoods, asking residents where their immigrant neighbors live (Asian, Latino, and Somali have been the explicit targets). Yeah. Read that again. ● ICE is increasingly picking up Native Americans— targeting folks based on skin color alone. The irony is not lost on anyone. ● ICE brutality: They are arresting and beating legal observers; some have had their arms broken, many are being pepper sprayed, even 50 feet away from people they are abducting. Folks are showing up at local hospitals, brought in in ICE custody, with severe injuries that are absolutely inconsistent with mechanism of injury reported by ICE. (Eg: patient appears to have been beaten unconscious, while ICE agent says he slipped and fell.) ● They are smashing windows in cars and homes. They are chasing down cars with drivers they perceive as Somali or Latino, smashing into those cars, and pulling people out and abducting them on the street. Last night after shooting a man in the leg on his doorstep, they flash bang grenaded one car, and teargassed another with six children in it. There are abandoned cars, all over the place: at gas stations with their nozzles still attached. On the side of the road. Doors open, abandoned. It is unclear whether families know when their relatives are abducted; Minneapolis groups are full of people reporting their relatives missing. ● Shifting ICE tactics: Some reports suggest tactics have begun to shift. There have been reports of ICE vehicles sporting free Palestine stickers, placing soft toys on their dashboards, using Subarus, changing their license plates; and hanging handicap symbols on rearview mirrors; ICE agents wearing civilian clothes and no identifying vests, and more ICE agents being recruited who are Black and brown folks. *There is no confirmed verification about these new tactics at this point of writing* ● These ICE agents do not have warrants. There are 2,000+ agents and they are simply hunting for anyone that’s not white. It doesn’t matter if you’re a citizen or a green card holder, they will kidnap you first and ask questions later. ● Right wing militias have descended on the city from the outskirts of the Midwest. They did so in 2020 as well, lighting fire to cherished old bars and intersections. Their stated role this time is to protect ICE agents and “prevent riots from happening again”. A large right-wing rally to “stop Islam from invading Minneapolis” has been called for Jan 17. ● Processing: Many of the abducted are getting processed at the Whipple federal building and being shipped out of state as soon as they are processed. Once buses or planes leave the state, it becomes very difficult to stop the deportations, and this is part of ICE’s strategy. ICE has also just announced that they will be placing ICE agents on sky bridges at the Minneapolis-St Paul airport. 2) Types of community response in Minneapolis: - The community response is at an extraordinary scale. Many people have the muscle memory of neighborhood watches formed during the George Floyd uprising and have revived old systems and signal chats. Normal people with boat shoes are coming out of their houses using baking pans as armor. The primary forms of organization are as follows: Large intakes of newly politicized people are getting trained via Non-Profit coalitions: - Training and integration into rapid response groups is being systematically led by a few well-run non-profit organizations who are tapped into the neighborhood groups. These Community orgs have been leading know-your-rights sessions for months, often to packed venues. Their intake right now is at about 1000 people per night. People who have never been remotely politicized before are getting trained. These large organizations then direct newly-trained people into autonomous neighborhood groups based on their assessed risk level. - Minneapolis is distinctive in its organizing infrastructure because it is a small enough city that there tends to be more community-labor coalition crosspollination than I have witnessed in other places. This has been especially useful as large catchments of newly-politicized, middle-class white people have looked for ways to plug in: they go to the large organizations that have a longstanding reputation for doing immigrant work (CAIR, Unidos MN, Immigrant Movement MN, and the Minnesota Immigrant Rights Action Committee - a FRSO front org I was involved in for some years; notably, DSA is not really on this list and not really where the majority of people go). A significant number of faith based and interfaith organizations (ISAIAH) are involved. These orgs have a couple of centralized trainings that they have been running nightly; the friend who leads them reported 1500 on the night that Renee Good was killed, and hundreds every night since. These are two of the primary trainings being used: - Basic 101 ICE Watch training - for anybody and everybody new to movements - STAC Base Ice Watch Training - from PRP/STAC - Minneapolis is also unique because of its demographic composition: It has one of the largest state populations of people Indigenous to North America, some of the largest refugee populations (primarily Hmong and Somali), and one of the most active populations of people descended from enslaved Africans. These are people who have borne generations of imperialism and state violence, and are some of the most risk-taking and trauma-tolerant ICE responders in the c
