   Thanks to all the clever creatives and aging hippies over at The Turning Point in Rockland County, NY, for this adaptation of a holiday favorite.

     Shameful.

     Do we live in the land of the free and the home of the brave or Nazi Germany?

   ICE At Minneapolis Roosevelt High School Wednesday Afternoon 1/7/26.

   Federal immigration enforcement agents on Wednesday swarmed a high school in Minneapolis, where footage and photographs showed them handcuffing school staff members and firing chemical irritants at students.

   According to a report from KSTP 5 Eyewitness News, the agents descended upon Roosevelt High School on Wednesday afternoon, mere hours after an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officer fatally shot 37-year-old Minneapolis resident Renee Nicole Good.

   A Roosevelt High School official confirmed to MPR News that agents wearing US Border Patrol uniforms pepper sprayed students, while also firing pepper balls at them. 

   Video footage taken from the scene shows agents deploying chemical irritants at demonstrators.

   A Roosevelt High School administrator who requested anonymity told MPR News.

   “The guy, I’m telling him like, ‘Please step off the school grounds,’ and this dude comes up and bumps into me and then tells me that I pushed him, and he’s trying to push me, and he knocked me down. […] 

   They don’t care. They’re just animals,” the official added. “I’ve never seen people behave like this.”

   The same anonymous school official said that armed officers wearing Border Patrol insignia rolled up on the high school in several SUVs and broke out the window of at least one vehicle, after which neighbors and volunteers who monitor DHS raids also converged on the school as well. The Border Patrol goons “started coming on the property of the school and pushing people and tackling people and shooting pepper spray and pepper balls. And they handcuffed two of our employees,” the witness said. Some students went to a nearby library to take shelter.

   Minneapolis ABC affiliate KSTP also reports that Green Central Elementary School, a few blocks away from where Good was killed, went into lockdown after the shooting. 

   “That was way too close to school to feel comfortable,” said Celia Mejia, whose daughter attends the school.

   She and other parents raced to Green Central Elementary, which went under lockdown, to pick up their kids.

   When asked how frightening the situation was, Julia Haas, who took her child home early, said, “As a parent, very, and as a human being very. Nobody should have to deal with this ever.”
