We are now entering the third week of occupation of Minneapolis, Minnesota by the United States government through the arm of ICE.

What is happening here is not abstract. It is being lived in real time by our neighbors, our relatives, our elders, our youth. Families are being terrorized. Communities are being destabilized. And still—our people are standing.
