"Since the Trump administration deployed thousands of agents in what it called an intensified immigration enforcement push in the Minneapolis-St. Paul area, communities have responded by installing volunteer watchers to warn their neighbors of ICE's presence, organizing grocery deliveries for migrant families too fearful of being swept up by ICE to leave their houses, as well as with large-scale anti-ICE protests."
""What happened yesterday to Alex Pretti is sickening. I feel an immense amount of grief for him, his family, and my city. It's also an even bigger eye-opener for what we're really dealing with," said resident Victoria Jocko. "Those ICE agents violently assaulted him and then executed him in broad daylight." And fears of more violence are mounting. "The worry I have is, how many more of us are going to die before this thing's over with?""
Two fatal ICE-related shootings in Minneapolis, including the killings of intensive care nurse Alex Pretti and Renee Good, have provoked massive outrage and heightened fears of further violence. Residents are organizing volunteer ICE watch patrols, marching in freezing temperatures, delivering groceries to fearful migrant families, and providing mutual aid. The Trump administration's deployment of thousands of agents for intensified enforcement in the Minneapolis-St. Paul area spurred large-scale protests, including a 50,000-person march in roughly -25°C that moved to the Target Center. Community members express grief, anger, and the concern that more American citizens may be killed before the crackdown ends.
