St. Paul, MN – On Saturday, September 26, the Minnesota Immigrant Rights Action Committee (MIRAC) and dozens of community members protested at the Governor’s Residence to demand that Tim Walz sign an executive order making Minnesota a sanctuary state. The rally also brought attention to there being only 100 days remaining of Walz’s term as governor, adding a sense of urgency to the call for Walz to address the demands. Protesters raised that ICE is still violating the rights of Minnesotans and tearing families apart.

Sabrina Rucker wasn’t just focused on protecting her immigrant neighbors and coordinating with activists in grassroots response networks during “Operation Metro Surge,” the aggressive federal immigration crackdown that rocked Minnesota this past winter. Rucker, co-founder and CEO of a local publishing company, StoryForge, conceived the idea to document the crackdown after she tried — to no avail — to get a cousin to understand its intensity in the suburbs, especially in her affluent Apple Valley home, about 20 miles south of Minneapolis. Then it hit her: If her cousin couldn’t grasp what was happening, others probably couldn’t either.

“One Day, Everyone Will Have Always Been Against This.” That is the title of Omar El Akkad’s 2025 National Book Award–winning nonfiction book, based on the full quotation: “One day, when it’s safe, when there’s no personal downside to calling a thing what it is, when it’s too late to hold anyone accountable, everyone will have always been against this.” “This” means the genocide of Palestinians – in Gaza, the West Bank, Lebanon, Syria — in the war for “greater Israel.” Our world now witnesses the evisceration of internationally accepted standards as well as U.S constitutional and statutory law, lowering the moral bar to more atrocities.

Free speech groups across the country are sounding the alarm over the Trump administration’s surveillance of social movements in Minnesota and the prosecution of the Minnesota 15, a group of activists from Minneapolis-St. Paul who face federal conspiracy charges after organizing protests against brutal immigration sweeps earlier this year. President Donald Trump and his allies in the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and Justice Department have targeted the First Amendment-protected expression of protesters, civil society groups, journalists, universities, and the lawyers representing them at a scale that has “not been seen since the Second Red Scare,” according to an amicus brief filed with a federal court in Minnesota on August 25 by Protect Democracy and other groups.

Veterans For Peace Will Not Be Intimidated By Government Surveillance

Veterans For Peace (VFP) is not surprised by news reports that our Twin Cities VFP Chapter 27,* along with activists and organizations associated with Direct Action Minnesota (DAMN), was targeted by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) for surveillance. The Trump regime has repeatedly shown itself to be lawless and to have no respect for truth or the well-being of people in our country or around the world. This latest attack on civil society organizations includes teachers, state government and small-business workers, and veterans, all of whom were exercising their constitutional right to protest against the state-sponsored terror of violent, racist ICE attacks in their community.

Roughly 80 attendees from the Mankato area and further filled the underground room, frequently adjusting themselves on metal folding chairs throughout the three hour event as the whirring air conditioner kept the space nearly refrigerated. Aubree Derkson of Pine Island, who has been heavily involved in the fight against the planned Google data center in her small, rural community of roughly 3,000, was the event’s first speaker.

Authoritarians Will Target Effective Legal Organizing

August 14, 2026 Paul Messersmith-Glavin, Truthout. Educate! Legal System, Minnesota, State Repression, Surveillance

The U.S. government is attempting to use conspiracy charges to imprison organizers, just as it did in its war against the Black Panther Party, New Left, and other 1960s and ‘70s radicals through its counterintelligence program, COINTELPRO. Through this method, the Trump regime shares the goal of the Nixon administration of disrupting and attempting to destroy domestic opposition to its authoritarian agenda. Two weeks after the September 2025 murder of right-wing activist Charlie Kirk, Donald Trump issued the National Security Presidential Memorandum 7 (NSPM-7), entitled “Countering Domestic Terrorism and Organized Political Violence.”

Less than one week after Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) shot and killed Houston father and construction worker Lorenzo Salgado Araujo, ICE agents fatally shot Joan Sebastian Guerrero in Biddeford, Maine, on Monday, July 12. According to witness accounts and video footage, ICE agents rammed their vehicle into the 26-year-old Colombian’s car and approached the driver-side door. Moments later, they shot him and proceeded to drag his limp body out of the vehicle, handcuffing him on the pavement, where his body was left for five hours. Guerrero’s three-year-old daughter and partner were in the car and witnessed the killing.

Minneapolis, MN — Stop Line 5 activists dropped a huge banner that read “Stop Line 5” from the Stone Arch Bridge, which spans across the Mississippi River on Tuesday morning and called on Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer to “Deny the Line 5 tunnel permits.” One of Enbridge’s two contentious oil pipeline construction proposals for Line 5 includes tunneling across the Straits of Mackinac, a sacred land to the Anishinaabe people of the Bay Mills Indian Community, who’ve banned the project. The Line 5 permit would use horizontal directional drilling for a planned 21‑foot‑wide concrete tunnel beneath the straits, which split Lake Michigan and Lake Huron.

Minnesota activists and scholars are decrying the recent federal indictment of 15 people who took part in demonstrations against the Trump administration’s aggressive immigration crackdown in the Twin Cities metro region earlier this year. The indictment accuses the protesters of surveilling federal agents, disrupting Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) operations, and training people on how to delay or prevent arrests, among other allegations. It also alleges that the defendants are members of antifa-linked groups like the Black Cat Worker’s Collective, which prosecutors describe as an organization committed to “militant class struggle” and “revolution.”

Instead of flying the U.S. flag, protesters displayed the flags of Iran, Palestine, Lebanon, Cuba and other countries targeted by Trump, calling on Americans to respect the sovereignty of other nations. Hundreds of passing cars honked in support.

St. Paul, MN – On June 6, a beautiful Saturday morning, over 100 people gathered in Langford Park in Saint Paul’s Saint Anthony Park neighborhood for Women Against Military Madness’s (WAMM) 19th annual Walk Against Weapons.

WAMM’s new director and emcee for the event, Meredith Aby, said, “Today we are marching to Forward Edge to highlight the role of Lockheed Martin, the world’s largest manufacturer of weaponry.
