Canadian Hockey team hides from ICE, bomb threat at Liam's school

Yesterday:

• Rep. Morrison was granted access to inspect the ICE detention facility at the Whipple Building, describing horrific conditions.

A pattern of terror and revenge:

• Liam’s Columbia Heights school was closed today due to a bomb threat, reports on social media also noted several ICE vehicles in the school parking lot at 6:30am this morning. While Liam returned yesterday, two others had been abducted from the school recently.

Around town:

• A Judge continues to deny a preliminary injunction to halt ICE in Minnesota claiming to do so would be “overreach”. The lawsuit proceeds, as do the abductions and tearing apart of families.
• The Montreal Canadiens are in town playing against the Minnesota Wild, but have been instructed to carry their passports, and do not leave the hotel. Perfectly normal, sane country we have here…
• Trans News Network describes the occupation from the perspective of a trans reporter.
• MN AG Ellison announced a website listing your rights as an immigrant. Previously, this material we only organized by activists and hard to source directly.

A strike historic:

• The January 23th Strike was the 3rd largest in US history.

Something to keep your ears warm:

• An earlier post on Ravelry provides a protest cap knitting pattern with Norway and WWII connections.
