Wish they’d just leave my neighbors the hell alone.
News coverage so far is very poor, mostly just regurgitating statements from the Trump admin.
Neighbors describe this as looking more like traditional police operations: warrants, procedure, none of the chaotic targeting of random dark-skinned people off the street that we saw in Dec and Jan. However, DHS does seem to be involved, and there’s concern that they’re sneaking some immigration-based abductions under cover of these trumped-up fraud warrants.

Feds are definitely detaining people. Who and why and for how long remains unclear. South Minneapolis is on alert.

@inthehands We had alerts here in CHampaign-Urbana. The sheriff declared that oh, they understood how we might think it was immigration but it was feds and the FBI aand some other enforcement entity, and something about hotels being right on the interstate here.
People had been asking where the info was coming from and I reckon many of us were thinking somebody leakig things but that made me realize that the info could *easily* come from hotel staff who book rooms.
We had 2 tornado warnings and downpours. I'd think they might think Mother Nature was not on their side. -

@inthehands What I want more than anything is once this regime is no longer in power (and because they love deporting people), that we pledge to deport every single one of these assholes (unless we have evidence of criminality) or just lock them up for eternity.

Things have been pretty quiet in my Minneapolis channels for the last few hours. Looks like this morning was a coordinated sudden strike. Everyone is now vigilant for the next thing, but we don’t know if it’s coming in an hour or a week or a month.

@inthehands So sorry to hear this is happening. Doesn't our government have a war to mismanage?

@inthehands It sounds like the leaders of ICE were told: get them Somali people out of my country by any means necessary.

I feel like I should just say that the Somali folks in my neighborhood are cool, and their kids go to school with mine, and the kids are hilarious and sweet and rambunctious and full of kid-ness just like…you know…kids, and sambusas are yummy, and most Somali restaurants serve spaghetti (because of Italian colonial history, mostly straight-up Italian style but with a subtle Somali twist), and I’m glad my Somali neighbors are my neighbors, and ICE can GTFO now and forever, please and thank you.

I wish it wasn't the case that we have to mine our answer to "what is ICE up to now?" from mastodon citizens instead of the media-- that is *supposed* to keep us informed about these important goings-on.
Stay MN strong!!

Suddenly a little curious about Somali spaghetti. Not gonna lie.

@dtm @oldclumsy_nowmad@mastodon.social
Come try some!Your reaction will likely be something along the lines of, “Yup, that’s spaghetti! …huh, except, is there some unusual seasoning in there? There is, isn’t there? I can’t quite place it.”
I also recommend trying a nice Somali chicken suqaar.

@inthehands You understand any Italian food in Minnesota is going to be suspect to a guy from Jersey. Frankly, I have more faith in the Somalis.
