Minnesota Immigration Enforcement

Editor's Note:

This is a piece from the Columbia Heights Herald, a local high school newspaper in Columbia Heights, Minnesota, around ten miles from where Renee Good was shot three times, and subsequently killed, by an immigration agent. Columbia Heights School District is the district Liam Conejo Ramos — the five year old in the blue hat viral on social media for his detainment, and later release — attended. The amount of trauma this community has endured at the hands of the federal government in the past month goes without saying — a few days prior to this story's publishing, Columbia Heights High School received a bomb threat and had to close its doors out of an abundance of caution.

In October, Mount Prospect and Chicagoland as a whole was inundated with federal agents as they ignored constitutional rights and killed Chicagoans, and in Mount Prospect trespassed on numerous resident's property without warrants — an action which is unconstitutional under the fourth amendment, which protects against unreasonable search and seizure.

Please take a moment to read this story — a first person account from local student journalists in the Minneapolis area. After, read our story, an outsiders analysis of the current occupation of Minneapolis. If you already have opinions about this, put them aside for ten minutes and read this story.
