  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Basically… nothing happened:

What we know:

The Hennepin County Sheriff's Office says its deputies responded around 1:10 p.m. to calls for help from the Department of Homeland Security.

ICE agents said they were surrounded and being attacked in the area of 29th Street West and Pillsbury Avenue by "60 to 70 agitators."

When deputies arrived, they say they did not witness any attacks or agents needing medical assistance but saw the crowd was preventing agents from leaving. Deputies assisted with crowd control, allowing the agents to leave the area. No arrests were made during the incident and deputies say they did not use any pepper spray or tear gas to clear the crowd.

They call it "mostly peaceful" in Minneapolis. At least one ICE agent went down, ICE used pepper spray to fend off the rioters and they tased at least one guy.

They need jobs.
There are plenty of other jobs now that the dirty immigrants are being deported. They are free pursue one of those less intense ones. Like picking strawberries or melons.

Their first training should be that ICE is slippery.

As a resident of minnesota, you should know that liquids can freeze quickly on frozen ground.

Sounds like excessive force on protesters. There was no riot.

One of the liberal reporters on the scene said that apparently one of the officers was pushed down. By the time the police arrived all the crowd was doing was blocking ICE agents from leaving, which is illegal.

Given that masked ICE goons have detained over 170 US citizens, including one case where they crashed into a US citizen's car, then dragged a woman from the car at gunpoint and kidnapped her, perhaps these protestors were just a well-regulated militia, being necessary to the security of a free State.

Knowing the freedom Americans value so much, I would hope that people monitoring the activities of ICE become more common.
The threats to family members of ICE personnel have risen dramatically.
