Minneapolis Nurse: "I feel like in Minneapolis I'm a sitting duck. I don't feel safe at home. I don't feel safe at work.

I lived in Mpls for decades and Univ of Minn is where I received my undergraduate degree.
So hard to believe what is happened in my beloved city.

Minneapolis Nurse: "I feel like in Minneapolis I'm a sitting duck. I don't feel safe at home. I don't feel safe at work. Kids aren't safe at school. I was born in Minneapolis and I'm scared out of my mind because I'm not white." (January 15, 2026)

4. Yes, Trumps wants the people to fear them. yes. he. does.

[debsy]

7. Every person in this country who has been subjected to ICE and CBP tactics has been terrorized

That is their mission today. To terrorize the population, including observers. If you step out of line, we will kill you.

11. Just witnessing them on videos and through stories in our country is terrorizing.

[debsy]

13. Yes, they are terrorizing every one of us.

5. Heartbreaking.

I agree that it's hard to believe what ICE and the Trump regime are doing to that wonderful city (I lived in a suburb of northern St. Paul when my dad worked for KSTP).

8. That's what they want. People to be afraid and avoid being seen, not call the police. Not complain.

Trump has been ordering more foreign workers for his businesses. He is offering lower wages. He's also lowering the minimum wage to be paid to foreign agricultural and meat processing workers.

12. He or she is overreacting

Stuff like this can have an irrational effect. It's the same as Trump calling places "shitholes." The many hard-working, honest people in those cities (mostly Democrats, btw) don't need this hand-wringing. It's doing nothing but helping Trump.
