Insurgents in Minneapolis barricaded several streets this weekend with “ICE filter” checkpoints, stopping cars to check license plates and IDs to prevent federal immigration enforcement operations.
Minneapolis Crime Watch posted photos from Sunday’s neighborhood ICE Block party with details on the location and a plea for the local government to do something, “Submitted from south Minneapolis – Agitators have set up roadblocks and are checking people’s ID who try to pass through the area from 32nd to 34th and Cedar Ave. This is absurd. Contact @MayorFrey and @MplsPDChief and tell them to shut this down.”

An account called Minneapolis Spring posted video from the insurgent checkpoint, “WATCH: Community defenders stop an out of state vehicle at the filter blockade, run the plate through a database, and confirm whether the vehicle is affiliated with abductors before letting it through.”

A copy of the video (with soundtrack added) reposted by Karlyn Borysenko, “Antifa in Minneapolis is literally building checkpoints and stopping vehicles on the road to run their license plates to see if they are affiliated with ICE before they let them through.See the caption of this video in the reply.”

Some in South Minneapolis have created what they call “filter blockades” on Cedar Ave. A handout says the roundabout like blockade is meant to bring neighbors together to strategize against ICE while also identifying traffic coming into the area.

KARE-TV reported at least four barricades set up on Sunday:
Handout calling for city-wide ‘ICE filter’ checkpoints:
“What would it take to begin coming together across the entire Twin Cities, establishing filter blockades to secure community control over zones or neighborhoods?” https://t.co/c1JSvH9rR0 pic.twitter.com/3vn2VQjxyE
