The courts are waking up.

The people are absolutely fully awake.

We are getting there, you guys.

We are not even a year into this mess yet, and already it is all systems go.

Stay with us tonight, we got a lot to get to.

If the idea of killing Renee Nicole Good was to make people afraid to protest or afraid to go out and be an observer of ICE operations, you know, following agents, blowing whistles, monitoring what they're doing, taking photos and video of what they're doing, that kind of thing.

If the idea was to scare people off doing things like that, it really seems to be having the opposite effect.

If the idea was to make American cities and Americans who object to what ICE is doing back down, that very extra clearly is not working specifically in Minneapolis.

Today, the state of Minnesota, along with the Twin Cities of St.

Paul and Minneapolis, sued the Trump administration.

They're calling the massing of Trump's federal agents there, quote, a federal invasion.

The city of Chicago and the state of Illinois filed a similar lawsuit today seeking a court order essentially to evict the plague of Trump's agents who have invaded their city and their state.

If the point of surging thousands of federal agents into downtowns and strip malls and neighborhoods, the point of shooting people, was to frighten Americans out of protesting against them and following them around and watching them like hawks, that is definitely failing.

One of the places it's failing is in schools.

For the countless and varied volunteer ICE watch groups in Minneapolis right now, schools have become a real priority.

Showed you footage earlier of school kids in Minneapolis walking out today in protest of ICE.

At schools, drop-off and pick-up have been where volunteers have been forming human chains to protect students and staff as they come and go.

The group Take Action Minnesota is telling The Wall Street Journal that they've mobilized around 1,000 volunteers, mostly parents, for public schools in Minneapolis.

Volunteers have been showing up at drop-off and pick-up.

They've been signing up to help immigrant families, delivering groceries to them if that's what it takes if they're too afraid to leave home.
