From a trusted friend:

ETA: if you want to share this, I’d appreciate it if you could do it w/o my name attached, via either a screenshot or a copy/paste with identifying details removed. I’m probably being overly paranoid, but oh well. Thank you, friends.

Things I have seen with my own eyes as of 11:23 AM Pacific today, January 12, 2026:

—ICE ramming a civilian car through a red light on Snelling in St Paul, dragging an injured, screaming white American woman out of it, kidnapping her, and leaving her wrecked vehicle partially blocking one of the busiest streets in the city.

—An unmarked ICE vehicle blocking a residential street. When a (white, American) man pulls up behind it, an agent demands to know why he’s “following them.” When the man explains that that he’s just trying to get home from the grocery store, stopped because there’s no room to pass, and had no way of knowing he was even behind an ICE car, the agent says “haven’t you learned anything from the past few days?” (What is the lesson? “Don’t drive?”)

—ICE kidnapping a white American teenager from a Target parking lot (the boy is a curbside-pickup employee) and dumping him in a Walmart parking lot eight minutes later, bleeding and bruised.

—ICE agents dragging a white American man from his car at a gas pump, kneeling on his neck until he apparently loses consciousness, and then kidnapping his limp body.

Word is that the woman and the gas-station man were targeted as “known activists.”
