In this episode, Eva and Kirbs talk about what daily life looks like right now living in Minneapolis as ICE activity escalates across the city. We cover the constant police presence, helicopters, sirens, bomb threats, and the fear shaping how people move through public space.

They share firsthand observations about ICE deployments, mutual aid networks, Signal alerts, door-to-door enforcement, and how residents are protecting one another. We also unpack how misinformation spreads online, how official narratives contradict what people are experiencing on the ground, and why “this could never happen here” is a dangerous assumption.

We discuss the emotional toll of living under surveillance, how identity and visibility increase risk, and why community response matters more than ever. The episode closes with information about the January 23 nationwide general strike and what collective refusal looks like in practice.
