The city of Minneapolis has just emailed this notice to residents:

https://content.govdelivery.com/accounts/MPLS/bulletins/403db4d

But it applies everywhere. If your city isn't under siege yet, hang onto it because if you have a Democratic mayor or governor, the occupation is coming your way.

Many of them had assisted the CIA in operations in Laos. There haven't been many new refugees since 2001 when the Patriot Act clamped down on immigration, and, like the Somalis, a lot of the Hmong people in MN are American-born. I assume the latest ICE siege is to arrest and deport the (now) old people who arrived in the '70s.

Know Your Rights
The Immigrant Law Center suggests the following if federal immigration agents come to your home.

Remember:

ICE needs a judge-signed warrant with your name and address to enter.

You can ask them to show you the warrant through the window or under the door.

If there is no valid warrant, you have the right to keep your door closed.


It's in what I'll call poster form -- a good one to put on one's door

A city whose whole identity springs from the Old South and Lost Cause mythology. The occupation won't ever be here because the populace clamored for Trump, holding a pair of stadium-sized events for him.

but I do have a loaded shotgun close at hand in case I hear anyone breaking my door down....


(not that they would have any reason to come after me, an old white man,
unless they got wind of something I had posted on the internets!)
