The accusations leveled by Brandon Sigüenza & Patty O’Keefe suggest that #DHS is employing similar tactics in #Minneapolis & StPaul as it did during the crackdowns in #LosAngeles, #Chicago & #NewOrleans. Federal officers are again using roving patrols, #WarrantlessArrests & aggressive tactics such as spraying #ChemicalAgents, breaking car windows & recording #protesters, including #ReneeNicoleGood & her vehicle in the moments before an #ICE officer fatally shot her.

According to organizers & an #ACLU lawsuit, #immigration officers have also been #surveilling #activists who have been observing their activities in the #TwinCities, violating their #FirstAmendment rights. And Sigüenza, who like his friend O’Keefe is a #US #citizen, said an immigration officer who questioned him Sunday even offered him money or legal protection if he gave up the names of organizers or neighbors who are in the country illegally.

So...ICE views our protesting the loss of rights as a crime. They view our distress as terrorism. Got it.

…Sigüenza & O’Keefe, who are among an unknown number of #TwinCities residents observing the #immigration officers in action, were detained Sunday while following #ICE officers who were driving around & making arrests. The officers stopped in front of O’Keefe’s car, fired pepper spray through her windshield vent & smashed her car’s windows even though the doors were unlocked, the 2 told The AP.

According to O’Keefe, the agents mocked her looks & laughed at her. She said they also brought up the killing of #ReneeNicoleGood, a 37-year-old mother of 3 who was shot in the head last week by an #ICE officer in front of her wife.

O’Keefe said the officer who sprayed their car Sunday threatened them, saying that “obstructing” their work was how Good got killed.
“It was very clear that they were trying to just humiliate me, break me down,” O’Keefe said.

@Nonilex That isn't just "humiliation." That is a literal death threat. If anyone *outside of ICE* said to someone "obey me or else. Disobedience is how someone got killed recently..." any court in the land would convict them...
