Homan announces an 'end', we'll believe it when we see it

“Until every taqueria is open and partying without fear of ICE, I’m not letting off the gas”:

• Tom Homan announced an end to the federal occupation of Minneapolis. That “success” cost us lives, neighbors, sleep, long term well-being, and yeah, some property too, I guess. Homan continues to attach various conditions to the “end”.
• Wedge Live reported Minneapolis Homan thanked Minneapolis mayor Frey for vicious actions against filter blockades. Cops gonna cop.
• Minnesota Reformer [reports how churches formed a key support pillar as neighbors sheltered from ICE)[https://minnesotareformer.com/2026/02/12/minnesota-churches-provide-critical-supports-as-immigrants-hide-at-home/).
• Even if things do end today, the financial impact of the occupation will last for months.
• Minneapolis Counsillor Chavez acknowledges the “resiliency, strength, and dedication” of neighbors throughout the occupation.

From the department of “why are you even surprised”:

• Walz tells the Star Tribune the Trump admin backed out of joint investigations into the killings of Good and Pretti.
• Abductions continued immediately after Homan’s press conference. Helicopters without a transponder buzzed south Minneapolis at the same time this morning.

“Stay safe!”:

• Tiff and Eve points out the changing norms in Minnesotan politeness.
