The media has reported on the occupation of Minneapolis as a “surge” of agents into the Twin Cities. But this has really become more of a siege than a surge.
Reports now confirm that the Department of Homeland Security has amassed a force of 3,000 ICE and CBP agents in the Twin Cities. To put that number in perspective: The Minneapolis Police Department has roughly 600 sworn officers.
The federal paramilitary force occupying Minneapolis is now more than TRIPLE the size of the local police force.
Go on social media right now, and you can see dozens, if not hundreds, of videos of contentious, illegal, and sometimes violent clashes with these agents throughout the city because they have overwhelmed the city entirely. They are patrolling the streets, armed for war, with a mandate that clearly has nothing to do with public safety and everything to do with public subjugation.
But if the numbers don’t chill you to the bone, the rhetoric will.
Kristi Noem, the face of this operation, has been holding press conferences behind a podium emblazoned with a new slogan:
“ONE OF OURS, ALL OF YOURS.”
History tells us exactly where this language comes from. It is a direct pull from the darkest chapters of the Nazi SS. It references the policy of collective punishment used to terrorize cities, towns, and villages in occupied Europe—the promise that if a single officer was harmed, the entire civilian population would be arrested, deported, or shot in retaliation.
This is the logic of fascism that says: We are your masters, and you are the subjects. If you resist, we will not just punish the individual; we will burn down the community.
We are witnessing the end of the rule of law and the beginning of the rule of force. We see that might equals right fundamentally informs how this regime deals with every single issue, ranging from immigration to tariffs to the drug war.
Our team is on the ground in Minneapolis documenting the tensions and the ICE deployment. We are tracking the numbers, recording the threats, and working with local groups to stand witness to this atrocity because if we don’t, history will only remember the lie.
