They're happening. Only ICE isn't doing it.

Anti-ICE protesters are. In Minneapolis.
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.

Scott Jennings bothered to ask the Minneapolis cops if they were okay with this:
https://x.com/WallStreetApes/status/20189103488170...

“These civilians are setting up blockades. You pull up and they check your license plate. These people aren't police. They're not there in any official capacity, but they check your license plate. This is highly illegal.

So I emailed the city of Minneapolis. And I had a simple question. Has anyone been arrested for setting up illegal blockades, for harassing citizens, for apparently having some sort of secret database by which they check whether your license plate belongs to an ICE vehicle

And after some back and forth with the city of Minneapolis, just a moment ago, we got a response from the Minneapolis police. I will read it to you”

“No arrests have been made”


No arrests have been made. So they are okay with this.

One law the left conveniently trips itself on is unlawful detainment: they seem to think they can hold people in a location against their will for whatever reason they choose. Yeah, no. It's only by the grace of God and the temperament of the people whose freedom of movement they're denying that several liberals haven't swallowed a mouthful of their own teeth already.

Sounds like kidnapping.

A few armed citizens need to stand their ground to these a-holes with prejudicial use of force.

Sounds like kidnapping.

When you confine someone against their will, you're getting very close to that, yes.

Now, for a whiff of reality:

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..
