As we reported earlier, Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz sent out a video message on Thursday afternoon assuring Minnesotans that their state would "remain an island of decency, of justice, of community, and of peace" in a nation of increasing cruelty. He also urged citizens to record atrocities by ICE to be used as evidence in future prosecutions."If you see these ICE agents in your neighborhood, take out that phone and hit record," he said.
Nick Sotor took out his phone during a riot in Minneapolis the other night and captured this on the island of peace.

He really does. Where are CNN and MS NOW with their camera trucks?
Well, now he can add a couple more felonies to his record and a deportation order.

Speaking of arrests, we reported on January 7 that anti-ICE rioters in Minneapolis had marched to the Diana E. Murphy federal courthouse and smashed the glass doors after trying to force their way in. They got the guy who kicked the window in, too.
