You know, it's worth noting here that the Twin Cities are very racially diverse with large Somali, Hmong, and Latin American populations.

And there have been accusations that ICE has been racially profiling the people they are stopping on the streets, not only in Minneapolis, but other American cities as well.

DHS has said accusations of racial profiling are, quote, disgusting, reckless and categorically false.

And for anyone who has been hurt, the administration says it is because they have been impeding immigration operations.

The idea that the people around you are your neighbors, regardless of where they come from, regardless of what they look like.

I think there are a lot of people that would describe that as the best of what America can be.

Yeah.

Yeah.

But Vice President J.D.

Vance has described the protesters and people who are organized that you've just described as, quote unquote, engineered chaos.

Do these words capture what you saw?

Hmm.

You know, Minneapolis is not the only community experiencing ICE in their neighborhoods.

ICE is in my neighborhood in Brooklyn, in New York City.

And I'm certain that there are many people listening across the country right now who also have ICE in their towns or not too far away.

In light of both Preti and Renee Mackling Good's deaths, what do you think other American cities are learning from this moment?

Well, Adam, thank you so much for this conversation.

I really appreciated hearing about your experiences in Minneapolis, and I'm really grateful that you came on the show to talk with me about them.

That was Adam Serwer, staff writer at The Atlantic.
