This is the aftermath of an ICE kidnapping a few blocks from my home in St. Paul—an hour ago. A quiet street full of broken glass and at least three wrecked cars. The target of the kidnapping was taken away by ambulance. He was on a stretcher and covered by a sheet, though a cop said he was alive.

They don't usually cover them fully with a sheet if they are alive.

What has this country turned into....or has it always been this bad, but being white and having lived in Wisconsin, Illinois, and Iowa I've not really seen it?

Or to prevent doxxing, or provide medical privacy.

The red vehicle looks totalled. I imagine the driver could have broken ribs, a broken arm, other injuries. That looks like an intentionally super hard hit.

A multi-car crash Wednesday in St. Paul at the intersection of Western Avenue North and Selby Avenue appeared to involve federal agents.

A person was transported from the crash scene in an ambulance, though the extent of their injuries — and whether anyone else was hurt — was not clear.

Three cars had damage from the crash outside Nina’s Coffee Cafe.

Dozens of federal agents were at the scene at around 10 a.m. Wednesday. St. Paul police officers were also at the scene to provide crowd control.

This is in the Cathedral Hill neighborhood.

Federal agents believed to be involved in crash outside St. Paul cafe

Authorities are at the scene of a multi-vehicle crash reportedly involving federal immigration agents Wednesday morning in St. Paul's Cathedral Hill neighborhood.

The crash has been reported outside Nina's Coffee Cafe at Western and Selby avenues, with at least one of the vehicles involved believed to contain federal agents, according to early information provided to Bring Me The News.

As dozens of federal agents and some St. Paul police officers responded to the scene around 10 a.m. Wednesday, MPR News was able to confirm that three cars were damaged in the crash, and at least one person was injured and taken away by ambulance.

One of the vehicles involved has Texas plates. ICE agents have commonly been seen with non-Minnesota plates on vehicles while conducting operations during the ongoing immigration crackdown.

Agents were chasing someone at the time of the crash, the Minnesota Reformer reported in its newsletter Wednesday morning, with video from the scene suggesting the injured party was the person being chased.

In the face of victims. (As Jesus would do) And ICE brutality. And Fox et al Will be smirking as they report, if they do. They are still reeling from Spanish Wind Talkers in MurKKKa. White Jesus Kelly is not done with those brown People by any means. She is so mad she may be “bleeding, from wherever”.
I am certain Mumbles and ICE Barbie will use some of the hundred plus $billion, and climbing, to pay for all the car damage they create hourly.
With our money.
I love the Olympics and these amazing athletes. A great way to escape hell over here. I would not be surprised if many stay there and not come back, seeking political asylum. But my skin crawls when I hear the Anthem these days. A veteran should never feel this way.

“The incident today at Selby and Western underscores the fact that ICE is still present, causing chaos, and putting residents at risk in Saint Paul. I want to thank those who continue to show up and keep watch over their neighbors. I also want to thank the Saint Paul Police for staying on the scene to clean up and ensure those impacted received assistance," Mayor Her said. "Because of the reckless way that ICE is running their operation, one person ended up in the hospital for non-life-threatening injuries, and several bystanders had their cars damaged. This is just another incident that tells us loud and clear: Operation Metro Surge needs to end immediately.”

and smashing windows? That is hardly how law enforcement behaves, at least until now anyway. Of course, I don't view ICE as "law enforcement". So who ends up paying for all that damage?

Minnesota is starting to look like war torn Iraq back in the early 2000s.

God, I hope the victim really IS still alive. This is utter madness.

Does insurance cover being rammed by ICE?

If ICE rammed you, does your insurance company go after ICE?

if they were rammed by ICE. The articles purposefully say ICE was 'involved'. No mention of ICE ramming anyone.
