2/ "A federal criminal search warrant for drugs and money laundering was executed today in the area of Lake St & Bloomington Ave." does not say who executed that warrant and that there was not *also* an ICE raid (bc for real, why would ICE agents be there for a search warrant?)
3/ "There were no arrests at the scene by federal law enforcement executing the search warrant." does not say that there were not arrests by federal agents *doing other things."
4/ "Officers supported federal law enforcement in safely departing the area." does not say which federal officers, and if it was the clearly identifiable ICE ones, they actually *did* assist immigration enforcement activities
5/ "MPD responded to a request to assist with crowd control and ensure public safety." does not mean they were not there for other reasons or to support the ICE action-- I mean, clearing the street for one of course helps the other
6/ And a carefully worded statement that very strongly suggests that there was no ICE enforcement and no MPD coordination when there is photographic evidence of both is a truly amazing after-the-fact assist from a department and city directed by a Mayor who...
7/ last month pledged this City is a "safe haven." Recall this at 1:98? www.fox9.com/news/frey-sa...
8/ Such gratitude for the Minneapolitan neighbors who intervened since our Mayor won't.

10/10 Y'all, we're going to see a lot more of this as the people continue to stand up for neighbors. A law enforcement action will be paired with an ICE raid exactly so that they can gaslight us later and tell us it never happened. Who knows, maybe Mayor Frey even fell for that. But you shouldn't.
Ooh, and a gratitude note. To @jchavezmpls.bsky.social and Councilwoman Chugtai and candidates like @dewayneforminneapolis.com and @jazzformayor.bsky.social and @omarfatehmn.com for Showing. Up. Y'all are who we want to be.
