A flyer posted in Minneapolis, Minnesota tells residents they can “fight ICE [Immigration and Customs Enforcement] without any risks.”
Minneapolis Spring, a leftist X account, posted a picture of the flyer on Wednesday claiming residents “have no excuses” and “will get away with it,” referring to injuring or inconveniencing federal law enforcement.
The flyer tells residents to “overtighten lug nuts” and “strip spark plugs,” claiming “it is your right to make mistakes.”
The flyer also mentions losing paperwork, preparing food incorrectly and giving agents decaf instead of regular coffee. “Everything adds up,” it claims. “You have no excuses anymore. Just do it.”
The account has consistently encouraged anti-ICE protesters in the city to erect makeshift blockades, report on ICE movements and “directly defend” their neighborhoods.
After a blockade discovered by Daily Caller News Foundation reporter Jorge Ventura was cleared by the Minneapolis Police Department, the account wrote, “Police colludes with ICE by clearing the filter blockade set up by community defenders,” later adding that they “rolled up pretty heavy, stole the barricading materials and most of the supplies.”
In a subsequent post, the account claimed, “They want us demoralized.” The account also claimed, “It takes almost no effort for people to set up another filter blockade.”
The account has also posted videos of anti-ICE protesters stopping random vehicles and running license plates through databases in an attempt to “confirm whether the vehicle is affiliated with abductors” before letting them pass.
