Chapter 1: What is happening in Minnesota with Trump's ICE and the Army?

0.031 - 27.948 Ben Meiselas

All hell is breaking loose in Minnesota, in the cities of Minneapolis and St. Paul as Donald Trump is now threatening to send in the army. 1,500 paratroopers are set to potentially join the 3,000 ICE and Border Patrol Gestapo who are currently terrorizing these communities. If you look at what a typical Mexican restaurant looks like right now in Minneapolis and St.

Paul, they have signs on them saying we're open, but please knock and let us know who you are first as the ICE and Border Patrol Gestapo continue to terrorize communities targeting Mexican restaurants, targeting special education schools, targeting hospitals, targeting the peaceful protesters. I want to show you what is going down in Minneapolis and St. Paul.

Most of the videos I'm going to show you are from Status Quo. This first one I'm going to show you is not, but it's an important one.

86.937 - 116.083 Ben Meiselas

Here I'm going to show you how the United States government, how the SS Gestapo, the paramilitary forces of the Trump regime, are planting individuals on the street to pretend that they are protesters, but they are actually agitators who are trying to cause problems and then force the Border Patrol and ICE Gestapo to arrive in order to terrorize people. So these are

116.063 - 123.65 Ben Meiselas

actually Border Patrol and ICE, this Gestapo, pretending to be protesters who then get unpeaceful or not peaceful.

Chapter 3: What tactics are being used by protesters against ICE?

123.97 - 146.07 Ben Meiselas

And then they use that as a pretext for further attacks and invasion by ICE and the Border Patrol. Watch what happens right here as a individual kind of falls to the ground. And you think that it's a protester. And then he's like, I'm with you guys. I'm with you guys. And then all of a sudden, watch who swoops in, the ICE and Border Patrol Gestapo. Here, play this clip.

146.05 - 213.926 Unknown

I'm with them. Back up! Back up! Yeah, save your Nazi. Put him in your Nazi van. Go get him some help. He needs a little bit of fucking mental health there. Donnie. Nobody got guns. Are you going to look me in the eye when you spray me? Are you going to look me in the eye when you spray me? You're going to be just like the motherfuckin' bad ass. Don't let him back down. Don't be scared.

213.946 - 217.33 Unknown

Get your ass in the car. Put the gun down.

217.43 - 219.273 DeWoke Farmer

Put the gun down. Put the gun down.

219.393 - 234.402 Unknown

Put the gun down. Put the gun down. Everybody got grabbers! You got nothing! Get the fuck out of here!

234.422 - 235.845

Get the tag! Get the tag! Get the food, bitch!

243.487 - 262.761 Ben Meiselas

Now, this next video I'm going to show you is from status quo, as mostly all the remaining videos are. Here you'll see with arms linked and snow falling, Minneapolis peaceful ICE protesters are dancing as ICE agents retreat back. Na-na-na-na, na-na-na-na, hey, hey, hey, goodbye. Here, play this clip.

265.07 - 312.998 Unknown

Don't throw her head back, holy shit! Hey, hey, hey. Goodbye.

316.268 - 341.82 Ben Meiselas

Now, this was from this past weekend. Status Quo news was on the ground as a right-wing agitator who was confronted by the Minneapolis ICE protesters ran to his car and then barreled his car over people, hit people with the car, and continued to drive off from a parking garage. Let's play this clip.

Chapter 4: How are agitators infiltrating peaceful protests?

495.295 - 517.676 Unknown

Yes, I just want to be out here supporting people who are really scared right now and just it's very dangerous for them. And so I'm standing in solidarity with the people who are afraid. I won't mention the guy's names. The live streamers try to disart shit in this most recent kind of turn where it's like trying to open doors at the daycare centers.

517.736 - 542.108 Unknown

And shocker, a random guy, adult, is not allowed into a daycare center. And acting like it's some big thing and then getting the thumbs up from the President of the United States. It's just over the top. It's just like, there's no words for it. It's just, I can't believe it's happening. And I feel like we're being threatened. Like, okay, you don't agree with me.

542.188 - 567.034 Unknown

This is what I'm going to do to you. It's baffling. I don't know what it is that he's like picking out on us. I don't know why. I'm disgusted by it. I'm frightened by it, but I'm not going to sit home and not do anything. If I can do anything, give money, show up for my neighbors, that's what I'm going to do.

Next, you have somebody speaking to Status Quo who talks about how effing ICE is terrorizing our neighborhoods and kidnapping our people. Let's play this clip right here.

Chapter 5: What are the implications of sending military troops to Minnesota?

972.487 - 983.442 Unknown

I guess it's going to take more. I hope not. But, I mean, this is wrong. It's wrong. We can't do this. This is a police state. You can't do this.

0

985.177 - 1007.067 Ben Meiselas

Next, we have another Minneapolis ICE protester talking about how she believes, and I believe this as well, that Donald Trump's plan here is really just to declare martial law, shut down the midterms, and try to declare himself the Fuhrer, which is what he's masquerading or trying to be right now. But that's where this is ultimately heading. Here, play this clip.

0

1007.047 - 1029.848 Unknown

Already pissed off, but we're ready to stand up and fight, obviously. I think, though, at the end of the day, Donald Trump is going to do whatever he can to declare martial law before November so that there won't be any midterms. I really think that's what this is all about. This is his plan, whether it's a civil war or war with other countries. Obviously, I just feel like.

1030.435 - 1060.648 Unknown

He's setting us up is what he's doing for his own plans. And it's disgusting. And it's sad. This feels like we're living in some kind of dystopian world. And I hope people in other states watch multiple news outlets to get the real story out because obviously we know that this administration is lying. They're lying about everything from Renee Goode to what we're doing here today. It's all lies.

0

1061.369 - 1079.123 Unknown

See it from all different angles and try to get the truth because It's chaos, right? And that's his plan. So to try and find the truth. So people like you who are out here every day talking to people, I think that's, you know, a blessing.

1079.727 - 1105.619 Ben Meiselas

Next, you've seen this guy before. I'm sure you may have seen him on Instagram or his other socials on TikTok. He goes by the name DeWoke Farmer, and he tells Status Quo why he's there protesting. And he says, our nation's falling. In fact, he says, I think our nation has already fell, but we need to stand up. We need to stand up to this ICE Gestapo. Here's what he has to say.

1105.719 - 1107.321 Ben Meiselas

Here, play this clip.

1107.301 - 1114.093 DeWoke Farmer

I just want to thank you guys, man. I see you everywhere, every fucking day. Like, you are killing it, man. You're fucking everywhere.

1114.294 - 1124.652 Unknown

Fucking badass, brother. Yeah. Come out. Do you mind talking to us for a second? Yeah, I want to. Bro, you come out every single day. You've been arrested. You've been pulled into there before. What keeps you going?

Chapter 6: How are community members supporting each other during protests?

1328.903 - 1351.832 Ben Meiselas

And here's just another view of the Mexican restaurant. This is what it has come to for Mexican restaurants in the Twin Cities. We are open. Please wait for us to unlock the door. Thank you for our understanding. That is the ICE Gestapo terrorized the community there. Horrific, horrific stuff. but we'll keep you posted every step of the way.
