They now have roadblocks set up where they stop you, run your license plate and demand to know why you're going where you're going. They also demand to see your ID.

South Minneapolis residents create roadblock, defining it as safety method against ICE

In the middle of the road at 32nd Street & Cedar Ave, a makeshift roadblock turned the intersection into a roundabout.

Cars slowed as drivers noticed. Some honked, others asked questions and a man brought food for the people standing watch.

Wade Haynes has been standing outside twice a day to make sure children get on and off the bus and to keep his community safe.

The approach to managing traffic was short-lived as the Minneapolis Public Works and police cleared debris and homemade roadblocks.

A city spokesperson said in a statement on Monday, "Given the high-traffic and high-speed block of roadways on Cedar Ave., the City cleared the streets to ensure public safety for the neighborhoods and emergency vehicles."

Sounds more like a more aggressive "community watch" program, which Minneapolis PD put an end to.

But the nutters will keep hyperventilating about it..
