The head of the Minneapolis teachers union said in a recent interview that elected officials are involved in anti-ICE agitation in the city.
"The notion that people that are actively engaged in ICE watch, in being vigilant in protecting our neighbors, in Signal chat groups, running plates, in their cars doing patrols — that somehow we're ashamed of that activity, that somehow you can call our bosses and show our faces and then we would be shunned by our community..." Marcia Howard told Al Jazeera in an interview that aired last week.
Howard is the president of the Minneapolis Federation of Educators, and perhaps best known for her role in championing the 2020 riots in the city over the death of George Floyd. She was also an English teacher for 25 years, including during the riots. She has been described as a "steward" of George Floyd Square, a memorial area where Floyd was killed. She meets there with local activists every morning.
"Our bosses are in the Signal chats with us," she said. "Our elected officials are in the chats with us."

Alex, I’ll take ‘Examples of Insurrection’ for $500…
These same knuckle draggers made this guy teacher of the year.
Looks perfectly qualified, by their standards.
They don't want to get caught in their criminal money theft of taxpayers BILLIONS!!
Well. Where is the FBI that was so quick to go after Trump’s advisors. The FBI is just as evil as it was under Hoover.
I believe you are wrong.
The FBI did not go after Donald Trump. Rather, the FBI employed several DNC apparatchiks who were the executive leadership and their carefully chosen minions were the culprits
Patel’s a waste of space. Fanboy tool.
People of Minn voted for these folks to hold office. I am so happy they are getting what they wanted. The sad and scary part is there are enough nuts out there on a national level to give us a POTUS like Biden again.
“Patel’s a waste of space. Fanboy tool.”
The guy strikes me as clueless. And, Bondi too.
This woman, the president of the Minneapolis Federation of Educators, was quoted in the article from an interview she did with Al Jazeera.
Interesting bedfellows she has!
Yep
If the ballot has Pol Pot, Yasir Arafat, Kareem Abdul Skyhook, Karen Bass Ackwards and President Trump, the Left will vote for anyone other than President Trump
RICO seems like a bitch to defend against. Especially on a teacher’s salary. So, I guess they will just roll over like good little communists.
Give them a short struggle session and let them go free outside the next meeting of the “Warm Hug of Collectivism” meeting.
“... Left will vote for anyone other than President Trump”
The Trump hate is driving everything the Left is doing. They could not care less that the entire country is going down the drain, it’s juts hate Trump at any cost.
AIDING-——ABETTING-—HARBORING
PRETTY SIMPLE
Minneapolis is dirty.
I hope that TDS will not infect the good judgment needed to resolve some of the difficult issues facing the United States now.
Union leadership. Demanding conformity.
