Greenland Is Not a Prize

The US has set its sights on Greenland due to its mineral wealth and strategic location. But its people – the Kalaallit – are an afterthought in Washington’s machinations.

Army Vet Says ICE Detained Him for 8 Hours, Blocked Access to Lawyer

ICE beat, cuffed, and jailed an army veteran and Purple Heart recipient for protesting in Minneapolis—and then the Department of Homeland Security lied about his charges. On Friday, ABC News reported that 39-year-old William Vermie was arrested while watching ICE agents go after two young men in his community. He was taken to the Henry Whipple Federal Building in Minneapolis, where he said he was detained for eight hours and never given the opportunity to call a lawyer.“They read me my rights and asked me if I wanted to answer any questions without a lawyer, and I said no,” Vermie told ABC News. “And then they said, ‘You’ll have an opportunity to contact one later.’”“I have privilege,” Vermie added. “I was medically retired, I’m a combat vet, I’m white, I’m middle class. If I can’t advocate for people who need it, then who else is going to do it? Who else is going to stand up and speak truth to power?”The DHS used its X account to call Vermie a liar after his story was published.“FACT CHECK. This individual was arrested for assaulting a law enforcement officer—a felony and a federal crime. All detainees have the opportunity to communicate with their family and lawyer,” the agency wrote. “These smears from the media have directly lead to a 1,347% increase in assaults on DHS law enforcement and a 8,000% uptick in death threats.”In reality, as ABC reported, no charges against Vermie were filed. Bystander video shows Vermie’s arrest on the sidewalk but doesn’t capture evidence that he assaulted an agent.This is not a fact-check; it’s just another baseless claim from an administration that believes enough of its citizens are gullible enough to buy whatever version of reality it’s selling. People at the highest levels of government, from the president on down, have lied profusely to us about what has occurred this month in Minnesota, and for months in the rest of the country.

Documents Prove The Trump Administration Arrested Students for Criticizing Israel

Documents unsealed by a federal judge this week confirm the federal government’s attempts to target, arrest, and deport students for pro-Palestine speech on college campuses last year. The court records also make clear the methods of investigation. The government looked to unverified accounts shared on social media and utilized Canary Mission—a shadowy online blacklist created […]

ICE Detains 2-Year-Old Girl Days After Using 5-Year-Old as Bait

ICE Detains 2-Year-Old Girl Days After Using 5-Year-Old as Bait

ICE detained a 2-year-old girl in Minneapolis on Thursday, just two days after using a 5-year-old as bait—once again proving that claims that federal agents are only going after the worst of the worst are outright lies.A district court judge ordered that the child be released by 9:30 p.m. on Friday after she and her father were detained by ICE at a traffic stop. They have been identified as Elvis Joel Tipan Echeverria and Chloe Renata Tipan Villacis, following a GoFundMe effort to bring them home.“Respondents have taken a 2-year-old into custody—an escalation of violence that is unspeakable, cruel and without any legal basis or justification,” their attorneys said in court filings.Their attorneys claim that their clients, both from Ecuador, are asylum-seekers who were arrested without warrants.“On January 22, 2026, Chloe who is 2 years of age, and Elvis who is her father, were detained in South Minneapolis by ICE. They were driving back home from the grocery store when immigration officials decided to detain them,” the father and daughter’s GoFundMe reads. “With the permission of the mother, we are reaching out to community to help us raise funds for lawyer fees, food, bond requests, rent, livability, and resources to keep this family together. She would appreciate the help from community in reuniting their family.”While the judge’s ruling raises hope that the toddler will return home soon, her arrest only adds to the bleak deluge of news coming out of Minnesota. ICE continues to terrorize people, often brutalizing and wrongfully detaining them in the process. And they’re preparing to potentially move on to Maine, Wisconsin, and maybe your town next.

Police Arrest Huge Group of Faith Leaders in Minneapolis ICE Protest

Police Arrest Huge Group of Faith Leaders in Minneapolis ICE Protest

Dozens of faith leaders were arrested during a massive peaceful protest Friday at the Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport.A group of clergy members were among thousands who gathered at the airport to urge airlines working with ICE to stand with them against the Trump administration’s sweeping deportation operation in the Twin Cities. One video shared to X by Workday Magazine’s Sarah Lazare showed a line of clergy members assembled in the road outside of Terminal 1 departures, singing. “Before this campaign fails, we’ll all go down to jail, everybody’s got a right to live,” the clergy members sang. Another video showed the large crowd of protesters—including striking workers and union members—cheering: “Our streets!”A third video shared on X by Labor Notes’ Luis Feliz Leon showed faith leaders kneeling in the road, saying a prayer for the immigrants arrested by ICE as police officers assembled behind them. Organizers of the action said that “roughly 100” clergy members were arrested during the protest, according to CBS News. Protesters specifically called on Delta Airlines and Signature Aviation to stop contracting deportation flights to the Department of Homeland Security. Organizers claimed that roughly 2,000 people had been deported through the airport.Around 200 clergy members, hailing from a range of faiths and traditions, dispersed across Minneapolis Thursday in order to monitor federal agents’ interaction with protesters and civilians. Tensions between residents and law enforcement in Minneapolis continued to mount this week as ICE agents proceeded to violently arrest protesters, carry out warrantless raids, and chase down immigrants who are already in custody. Earlier this week, ICE agents used a 5-year-old boy as bait for one of his relatives after arresting the child’s father—who had no criminal record. The father and son were then both removed to Texas for deportation.
