  4. #TwinCities Unions Planning ‘Largest US #RentStrike in 100+ Years’ as #ICEOccupation Drives #EvictionCrisis

    “Tenants in #Minnesota are in a crisis,” said #Minneapolis City Council Member #AishaChughtai. “The federal invasion forced many of our neighbors to stay home and devastated our #LocalEconomy.”

    Stephen Prager, Feb 17, 2026

    "Tenant and labor unions in Minneapolis and St. Paul have announced plans to carry out what they said would be the 'largest rent strike in the United States in the last 100 years.'

    "Beginning on #March1, if Democratic Minnesota Gov. #TimWalz does not meet their urgent demands for an #EvictionMoratorium and #RentRelief, a coalition of nearly 26,000 workers has pledged to withhold rent, which they said could create a massive economic disruption.

    "The plans were announced on Tuesday by the tenants union #TwinCitiesTenants, which is joined by five labor unions: Service Employees International Union (#SEIU) Local 26, SEIU Healthcare Minnesota/Iowa, UNITE HERE Local 17, the Amalgamated Transit Union (#ATU) 1005, and Communication Workers of America (#CWA) 7250.

    "They argued that a freeze on rents is desperately needed after 'nearly three months of federal occupation' under President Donald #Trump’s '#OperationMetroSurge,' which sent nearly 3,000 Immigration and Customs Enforcement (#ICE) and other immigration agents to the area, resulting in multiple fatal shootings and a wave of #CivilRights violations, including explicit #RacialProfiling."

  5. ÷ICE's brutal #OperationMetroSurge is winding down. #Minneapolis breathes again, for now. The action has relocated.

    But the change of scene allows a step back, to reflect.

    MAGA sees this as a battle to keep white America dominant.

    For Liberal America, it's about opposing racism and upholding legal norms.

    In reality, it's a fight over stolen goods. The genocidal conquest of most of North America is common ground, as is the militarised global empire. The shared imperialism dwarfs the dispute.

  7. "After more than two months of an aggressive—and deadly—occupation of the Twin Cities, top immigration official Tom Homan said during a press conference on Thursday that the Trump administration is scaling back “Operation Metro Surge.” Yet some local officials who have long been at odds with federal leaders aren’t buying it."

  9. In Minneapolis, a harrowing scene unfolded as federal agents abducted a woman monitoring ICE operations, leaving her voice screaming for help before she vanished—one of several such disappearances during a crackdown called “Operation Metro Surge.” Local community observers, known as commuters, have been tracking what they see as civil rights violations amid what is now the largest immigration enforcement effort in U.S. history. Despite the new head of the operation, Tom Homan, announcing a reduction in personnel and promising a more “targeted” approach, fears persist that abuses and unlawful arrests will continue, marking a tense chapter in Minnesota’s ongoing immigration crackdown.

  10. "A dozen demonstrators were arrested late Thursday during a noisy protest outside a Minneapolis hotel believed to be housing federal immigration officers.

    "In a statement from the University of Minnesota, 11 of the protesters were arrested for disorderly conduct and one was arrested for property damage outside the Graduate By Hilton hotel off University Avenue in Stadium Village."

  11. "In his clearest attempt yet to “de‑escalate” tensions in Minneapolis, Tom Homan, Donald Trump’s “border czar”, announced on Wednesday that the administration will draw down 700 federal immigration officers as the statewide crackdown continues.

    "The Twin Cities remain on edge, waiting to see whether the fear will ease."

  12. RE: mastodon.online/@shaedrich/115

    I was watching some news footage of #Minneapolis from #NBC and look who I found there: Sam(?) Luhmann has an almost run-in with then "commander at large" #GregBovino overseeing #OperationMetroSurge in #Minnesota and throwing gas at protesters.

    I know, he and his brother Ben were #ICEWatch/ neighborhood watch/community patrollers but I did not know that these two heroes are behind these specific viral videos like ICE agents slipping on ice
