The itinerary is as bad you would expect.
The federal government’s presence in Minnesota may be winding down, but leftist activists are mobilizing to the Twin Cities for a week of harassing Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers, calling for the abolition of prisons, and eating at Mexican restaurants.
Documents reviewed by The Daily Wire show the detailed coordination and planning that goes into a week of anti-law enforcement protests collectively called “Bring the Heat! Melt the ICE!.” From February 25 to March 1, anti-ICE organizers are demonstrating at the state capitol, at hotels where federal agents are staying, and hosting training sessions at local churches.
“For months now, the Twin Cities have been at the forefront of a struggle against ICE in this country,” a welcome packet for the week of protest, originally obtained by Defending Education, said. “The stakes have been high, and many strategic and tactical innovations quickly developed here. Such experiments have been promising, but there’s a long journey ahead of us on the road to abolishing ICE, and we’re just getting started.”
The activists demand the removal of ICE from Minnesota, the release of “our abducted neighbors,” and closure of “detention camps,” a statewide eviction moratorium, the dropping of charges against protesters who harassed or assaulted ICE officers, amnesty for illegal immigrants, and the abolishment of ICE, the Department of Homeland Security, and prisons.
The protest comes after border czar Tom Homan announced a massive drawdown of federal officers in Minnesota. Homan said he had reached a deal with local officials to get more cooperation for ICE officers seeking to arrest illegal aliens.
One of the activities being planned for the week is protesting at hotels where ICE agents are staying.
“Grab some friends, noisemakers, and head to a hotel that houses ICE on this list,” a calendar of planned actions says. “There is no big public noise demo—these are autonomous and decentralized. Please go to the training or check out this guide if you need support hosting one with your affinity group.”
………Activists showing up for the week of action will also have the opportunity to join “school patrols” to drive around looking for ICE agents.
“In Minneapolis, ICE incidents occurred at or within two blocks of public schools every single day for 6 weeks straight. We responded by running about 3000 patrol shifts per week, and that doesn’t even include private schools, charter schools or day cares,” the calendar says.
,,,,,,,,,Erika Sanzi, the senior director of communications at Defending Education, told The Daily Wire that educators’ involvement in these protests reveals how leftist ideology has infiltrated the education system.
“It’s high time that people come to terms with the fact that the call is coming from inside the house. Groups of radicals and revolutionaries that have always agitated on the fringe are now becoming embedded in the K-12 ecosystem by way of teachers’ unions, student unions and even teacher training programs,” she said.
“The sooner the public accepts that these protests and walkouts are highly coordinated by outside actors, the sooner we can put a stop to it or at least drastically reduce it in our public schools,” she added.
Other groups participating in the protests include Spring House Ministries, the Red Pine Revolutionary Collective, Twin Cities Democratic Socialists of America, and Indigenous Roots.
Activists will get free food from the group Seeds of Peace. Many will stay in other people’s homes for the week of protest.
“Eat First. Then Smash the State,” the welcome packet said, noting that Muslims participating in Ramadan will be given priority for dinner meals.
A week of leftwing anarchist agitators belching noise, stalking, and assaulting law enforcement. And pandering to muzzie thugs who would gladly inflict Sharia law and make them convert or be killed.
Cutting. Edgy. Mindless.
