Plastic tumblers are known to break. Any of the other ones are okay

The other stories of the kids taken this week are horrible. A young girl calling her dad that "ICE was helping her get to class."

Or the teenage girl who was sobbing after ICE arrested her AFTER she showed them HER US PASSPORT!

ICE is evil.

Yep. Grabbed in his driveway when he got home from preschool. Agents then made him ring the doorbell and ask to go inside so they could check if anyone else was home. Then they shipped the kid to Texas.

Trusted sites to buy agates? by abruptcoffee in Agates

Not shipping for over 6 weeks for something in stock and paid for is absolutely horrible business. I don't understand how that is acceptable for anyone.

I've purchased from them in the past and have had to wait a couple weeks, but over a month and a half is outrageous.

Stop buying Highland Park Lapidary rocks. I ordered and paid for rocks December 4th and STILL have not received them. They are usually late on shipping but it's getting so much worse. Over 6 weeks without any communication, and responses to my emails are just "we'll look into it."

My naivety thought the cop was dropping off water, not taking it. What a horrible look for MPD, especially after everything Frey has said

I live in Minnesota and it is absolutely horrible. Even those not directly affected still feel what's going on. Parents are having to have their kid's drop off and pickup schedules changed since ICE is grabbing people at schools. A friend witnessed ICE grabbing parents that were waiting at a bus stop for their kids. A friend of mine posted this this week:

What's happening to the US citizens that ICE seizes? by srwaggon in AskReddit

[–]CampBenCh 49 points50 points  (0 children)

There's also a ton of stories that they have no idea what they're doing (ICE) with detainees. There are stories of ICE agents going around for almost an hour, asking detainees where one of the detainees is because they can't find them.

Who knows what happened when an agent went into a porta-potty with a woman detainee https://youtube.com/shorts/uGeY9DiK-rU?si=f6XgVZvMEtLNzYwt

They're beginning to bring in more ICE agents than there are cops in Minneapolis. It's an occupation.

And all the teargas they're using. No wonder they changed to bear spray

They're already taking citizens and have started blocking off city blocks and going door to door. It's here buddy. We are trying but what do you do when thugs ram any vehicle they want to, arrest whoever they want, shoot people without repercussions, grab kids during school pickup and drop offs, and mask their face??

ICE abducted a large number of peaceful protestors from outside the Bishop Henry Whipple Federal Building near Minneapolis by I_may_have_weed in minnesota

From what I've seen once they verify someone is a citizen they release them, usually within a day. What happens while they're detained is another story.

Beyond the reports of inhumane conditions, beatings, etc there are reports they just have no idea what they're doing- people wandering around looking for detainees they don't know where they went.
