If you want a glimpse of what's going on inside the Unorganized Territory of Fort Snelling's version of Orwell's Ministry of Love, have a look at this piece.

And for what? for covering a protest at a church.

"I was transported in a large SUV to the federal Whipple Building. There I was fingerprinted and held in a cell in a wing that I was told was for “U.S.C.s,” or United States citizens. I asked for my lawyer several times. She was in the building, asking to see me. But at Whipple, we were not permitted to meet or talk.

"I later learned that the agents stayed outside my home for over two hours after my arrest. My daughters and my husband were stopped and questioned when they tried to leave.

"Two hours after I was taken into custody, I was transferred to another facility, where my fingerprints and DNA were taken. The officers swabbed the inside of my cheek, they said, to confirm my identity."
