I.C.E. raided Bemidji this Thursday. Among their targets was the Villas at Vista North, where roofing crews were repairing roofs that had recently been damaged by 120mph wind. It was a chaotic raid resulting in some workers attempting to escape by jumping off roofs while residents of the housing development intervened and shouted at ICE to leave the workers alone. Workers were also grabbed by ICE at the nearby Circle K gas station.
Bemidji Mayor Jorge Prince is insisting that local police were in no way involved. A gofundme has been set up for at least one of the abducted workers by their girlfriend. Here is the link, please donate if you can: https://gofund.me/2849746fc
We urge everyone to be careful and be alert. It's unknown if ICE is looking to conduct additional raids in northern Minnesota. We salute the Vista North residents who raised their voice in defense of the abducted workers. If you see any ICE agents, please contact the Twin Ports Rapid Response at 218-213-5009.
An injury to one is an injury to all!
