In this month’s bonus episode, we talk with Minneapolis resident Emma about what it’s been like to live in the city during Operation Metro Surge, where two community members were murdered in the streets by federal agents. She shares what she’s seeing on the ground and how neighbors are showing up for one another in powerful, hopeful ways during an incredibly frightening time.

DISCLAIMER: This was recorded on Tuesday, February 10th. On Thursday, February 12th, Tom Homan, the Trump Administration’s “boarder czar”, said Operation Metro Surge in Minneapolis was ending. We’ll believe it when we see it.
