Today,
Minneapolis vs Ice I don't know about you but this week it feels like all I've been watching are video clips of what's happening on the streets of Minneapolis.
High-pitched whistles piercing through the wind and falling snow to signal the presence of immigration agents.
Since the beginning of January, thousands of ICE agents have been deployed to the city.
Confusion, violence and chaos followed.
Two people have been killed, hundreds have disappeared.
But that's not the full story.
This week we've been talking to people living in Minneapolis about how they've been mobilizing to protect their communities.
Hundreds more people started going to training, started learning, you know,
joining networks and after the death this weekend it has only by the thousands expanded.
What does it feel like to see your neighborhood become a place you don't recognize anymore?
We all grab a whistle before we leave.
I know it's a joke here.
Make sure you've got your keys, phone, wallet, gloves, and now your whistle.
Seeing family members dragged away,
schools targeted children tear-gassed to find yourself standing between your neighbors and masked men with guns.
This has been a real campaign of terror and political retribution,
and they are wanting democratic cities like ours to bend the knee to their administration,
but Minneapolis is showing that we're not going to do that.
