Emergency ICE OUT OF MINNESOTA flyer — A flyer seen in Minneapolis on May 25, 2026 that reads: EMERGENCY: ICE OUT OF MINNESOTA “…There are thousands of ICE rats scuttling … already icy streets. Good is gone for good—shot in the … She isn’t the reason for the breaking point. Just as it was Amir Locke or Daunte Wright before her, or even George Floyd. The cries of Philando Castile’s family weren’t enough. Before them, Fong Lee, and too many more. Since Bloody Friday, our martyrs have been turned into just… names. They should have been enough. This ICE operation is somehow simpler AND more malicious than the kill count accumulated by our PD. This is slave catching. This is gestapo. A militia has descended upon our city, with SS tattoos and southern drawls, and they have come for our immigrants and our vaguely brown. It didn’t have to be Good. It could’ve been any of us. It’s a game of odds now, and I don’t gamble. So I will fight. ICE is not a disciplined or well-trained group. Their only cohesion is a collective desperation which makes for a fractured yet dangerous opponent. We have the numbers. We’re fighting for our home. We should not be intimidated by cowards. To paraphrase the villains from a favorite childhood film: If one stands up, then they all might stand up! They outnumber us 100:1 and if they ever figure that out, there goes our way of life! It’s not about food, IT IS ABOUT KEEPING THEM IN LINE. And finally, I repeat the words of a man I’m surprised to quote: “BULLSHIT. GET THE FUCK OUT OF OUR CITY!”
