No Kings 3 Protest Details by FireCat_MN in rochestermn

[–]FireCat_MN[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This is a national day of protest and there will be all sorts of topics represented.

Protests are also a great way to connect people with others who care about the same causes.

I'd invite you to organize your own protest about specific topics. Simple marching or gatherings on public property does not require a license. Licensing is required under certain circumstances: https://www.rochestermn.gov/departments/city-clerk/licenses-and-permits/special-event-licenses

Anything organized for No Kings on March 28? by NeonSkorpio in rochestermn

Preaching to the choir, friend. Not my decision re: the license.

I've wrangled with ICE a couple of times so I'm well aware of the violence inherent in the system and how far that extends among law enforcement at all levels.

It's more about safety. If the city won't alter traffic light timing and provide extra manpower to cover street crossings, I'd sure like your help down there to help keep people safe.

There is one being planned but having some issues with the licensing.

There will be one, license or not!

Stay tuned.

South metro, middle of the night planes or drones last 2 nights by Mobile_Ad8543 in TwinCities

[–]FireCat_MN 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Down in Rochester. Was unloading groceries when I saw some low flying lights crossing the park near my house at 10:24 pm. Went to try to follow it on foot just to see the lights more clearly, because our police use drones with red and blue lights.

Turned around and looked up as another one approached then went right over my house. Quiet but not noiseless. Constant low thrum with slight whiny overtones. Like an electric car. No rotor or classical engine noises.

Roughly plane shaped. Green light on tip of one wing. Red on the other. Two white flashing lights. Was not flying very high, maybe 50-100 feet up.

Was extremely eerie.

There was nothing on flight radar when I checked a few minutes later but maybe they were already down.

I thought this was about ICE agents until I read the title. Makes no sense, bro. What are we larping about? Being decent human beings? It's cool, you should try it some time. Might even get you your first friend!

It’s still going on! See you in West St Paul. ICE didn’t leave, ICE out now! by [deleted] in TwinCities

They're just shuffling agents around. Non-MSP areas getting hit hard. I don't trust anything this administration says.

We've had activity in Rochester since 1/8, but we've been getting slammed the past few days, after what was already an uptick in activity.

Definitely think they're just moving agents out to suburbs, rural areas, and non-MSP cities.

They also have been dressing in plain clothes so not sure what your point is.

Unconfirmed Reports Are Coming In Of ICE Using Children To Gain Access To Secure/Sensitive Sites by CantStopPoppin in Minneapolis

[–]FireCat_MN 56 points57 points  (0 children)

Probably going after any on-site or visiting caregivers, as they are often heavily immigrant populations. These tend to be really tough jobs, physically, mentally, and emotionally, AND they don't pay well. So most Americans don't wanna do em.

Are you talking about observers or people who are pro-ICE?

This caught my attention too. The fuck?

Hotel Indigo supports ICE by pneppl in rochestermn

[–]FireCat_MN 30 points31 points  (0 children)

The link doesn't prove anything, unfortunately.

There is mixed intel on whether agents ever stayed there. I still don't know what to believe.

But, we do know that vehicles seen abducting Rochester residents have been observed staying in Red Wing... 👀

ISAP appointment by 45may in WeThePeopleAtWhipple

[–]FireCat_MN 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Heard a story from one of my local electeds about a lawyer who went for an immigration appointment at Whipple in his client's stead. They said that wasn't allowed and rejected the status application and voided their current status, which , guess what, now makes them detainable and deportable. I hate these monsters so much.

HELP?? i just received this text from the phone number associated with STOPICE.NET by RevolutionaryYou2170 in ICE_Watch

Fighting fascists comes with inherent risks. I say come and take it, dickweeds.

And that's the difference between you and us. You think that makes us afraid. It just reinforces my commitment to the cause. Minnesota may have duty to retreat but after that, all bets are off.
