In his press conference, Trump's US District Attorney Daniel Rosen tried to smear these fifteen defendants by alleging that they are the ones who are really putting the community in danger and not ICE. These 15 defendants are members of our community -- they are workers, union members, tradespeople and educators, musicians and artists; they are people who know their neighbors and who care about them, who stood up with the rest of us to oppose the federal invasion of our cities.
These are not just arrests; this is an attack on our neighbors, coworkers, family and friends, and an attack on anyone who stands in solidarity with them. This is an attempt to intimidate us. We have to show the federal government that we stand with the defendants, and with each other. The 15 defendants are facing serious charges and have a long legal battle ahead of them.
We also want to point out that a majority of the "Minnesota 15" are union members - belonging to the IBEW, MFE, UBC, MAPE, SEIU and AAUP. And all of the 15 are working-class. Lets have their backs just like they've had the backs of our communities and class. An injury to one is an injury to all!
