Minneapolis erupts in protest over Trump’s ‘National Emergency’ declaration
Minneapolis, MN – Hundreds of people poured into the streets on Saturday, February 16, to demonstrate against the latest escalation of President Trump’s anti-immigrant policies.
The day before, Trump had declared a so-called “National Emergency Concerning the Southern Border of the United States.” Under the National Emergencies Act, the declaration could grant Trump new executive powers to allocate billions of dollars in funding toward further militarizing the U.S.-Mexico border. Trump claimed these measures will allow him to fulfill the racist “build the wall” narrative that he has used to mobilize his white supremacist base.
With only a day’s notice, several hundred local residents and dozens of organizations responded to the call to protest Trump’s declaration, issued by the Minnesota Caravan Solidarity coalition, which includes many local organizations including the Minnesota Immigrant Rights Action Committee (MIRAC), the Anti-War Committee, Hands off Honduras, and many more. Demonstrators took to the streets, marching through the immigrant-rich neighborhoods of South Minneapolis before packing the Walker United Methodist Church for speeches and planning further militant actions.
“It’s a political strategy. It’s to get re-elected,” Jorge Mújica Murias said of the national emergency declaration. “Donald Trump offered a wall to people who don’t know what’s going on in this country, who don’t know what’s going on at the border, and who don’t know what’s going on with people who make their meals at restaurants, who make their beds at hotels, and pick their food in every field in the United States.”
“We the immigrants, we built this country,” agreed MIRAC organizer William Martinez, an immigrant from El Salvador. “We are union members, teachers, nurses, people in construction and in the office. These are the people who built this country.”
A student, who recently travelled to Tijuana, Mexico to observe the conditions of refugees seeking asylum at the U.S. border, denounced the emergency declaration. “This is a deliberate abuse of power that is going to hurt the most vulnerable in Tijuana right now,” she said. “People fleeing violence have the right to go to a port of entry and ask for asylum, and that’s not what’s happening at our borders. Young people, LGBTQ people, are being denied this right.”
The national Legalization For All Network put out a call for local protests after Trump declared a state of emergency, as have other national organizations and networks. Actions happened in several cities this weekend, and many more are planned around the country on Monday.
The Minneapolis event featured lively discussion of next steps in the fight against racist political attacks on immigrants.
“The media is going to be talking a lot about legal challenges to Trump’s declaration, and also about legislation in Congress to stop it,” said Joe Callahan of Minnesota Caravan Solidarity. “But we don’t want to rely on those things, especially those legal challenges ending up in a Supreme Court that is very conservative.”
“A lot of the crises in Latin American countries that lead to their people seeking asylum in the United States are the result of aggressive U.S. foreign policy and military intervention,” said Autumn Lake of the Anti-War Committee. “When we are mobilizing in the streets, when we are voting, if we care about the plight of our migrant brothers and sisters from Latin America, it is imperative that we also put pressure on politicians to adopt anti-war, anti-imperialist stances.”
“This manufactured crisis is nothing more than a pretext to criminalize our immigrant neighbors, militarize our borders, and erode our constitution,” said David Gilbert-Pederson, a trade unionist with Minnesota Workers United. “But we say no. We will march, we will rally, we will sit in, we will strike, and we will shut this whole damn system down.”

Once again the lame stream media is presenting its fake news to lie to the public. Minnesotans are most definitely in favor of immediately building an impenetrable that runs from the Pacific Ocean to the Gulf of Mexico. This lame stream media fake news article is designed to dupe people into thinking President Trump is doing something wrong or against what the vast majority of Americans want him to do. President Trump is doing exactly what We The People want him to do.
Minnesota is being taken over by illegals. Because of the Minnesota NICE thing, the average citizens have become so afraid to say anything that might offend someone, due to potential lawsuits from the left!
The illegals are winning in Minnesota by infiltrating the Government positions!
These Zionist Globalist Liberals are SO DUMB they don’t even realize that Donald Trump just proved that he is one of THEM!
The HORRIFIC bill Trump just signed FULLY Green-Lights child traffickers coming into the USA. This will be law until at least September. Trump had the option of not signing this bill, which would have given him grounds to later declare it unconstitutional. But since he signed it I can only assume he is NOW legally bound by its terms. He sold us out!
I believe this proves what I have been saying all along that Trump is a 100% self admitted Zionist, and as such will NOT push in favor of locking up Zionist criminals via military tribunals. And as you will see he also sold us out on 5G, yet Trump’s property is exempt from 5G :

Here is a link going over the FACT that the bill Trump just signed TOTALLY GIVES THE GREEN LIGHT to Child Traffickers crossing over the border into the United States – LISTEN AND WEEP:

That comment is stupid, illogical, and a lie..all wrapped up in one.
“We do not have a greater friend than Donald Trump,” Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu told reporters after a meeting with the president at the White House in February.
And of course we have all heard Donald Trump publicly declare “I speak to you today as a lifelong supporter and true friend of Israel. I am a newcomer to politics, but not to backing the Jewish state.”
Donald Trump is the most renowned President EVER for saying things that Patriots like to hear. But as you will see below, both Trump and Hillary are working for the same people, the Globalist Zionist Luciferian Adrenochrome Addicted Cannibals. ALL ZIONIST Politicians, regardless of political party need to be tried for Treason, INCLUDING Donald Trump!
Sadly, most politicians are Zionists, including Donald Trump, and even the ADL admits that Zionists are NOT PATRIOTS:

Audio link of a Rabbi admitting the Zionist intention to kill off all of humanity other than Jews [his words, not mine, including “Hey, we ARE god’s chosen people. Its just most Jews do not like to admit it, but our god is Lucifer.” - an open admission that Jews ARE NOT Israelites, because Israelites are the chosen people of the OTHER God - the Christian God - God the father]:

President Trump told Fox News that while Khashoggi’s death was tragic and should be investigated, the prospect of blocking arms sales to the kingdom is “very tough pill to swallow for our country” because American jobs are on the line.
President Trump, like ALL Globalist Banksters of his ilk, staunchly believes that “war is good for business”.

Looks like “Fight Back News” is ‘Resist’ org.
Resistance is futile. You might claim Minneapolis has a Resist demonstration going on, but you can’t claim Americans in Minneapolis are anti-Trump. That’s a lie. You also lied when you called him racists.
Which means “Fight Back News” is just another Fake news org run by the criminal orgs doing the child trafficking.
And for anyone who thinks resist or fight back news will ‘win’ anything…I suggest you take a look at the sun.
These satanic lying murdering child trafficking people and their orgs are about to be toast.
The rest of humanity is about to leave without them, which is what drives their anger and wish to mar the exit for everyone else who is leaving them behind. They were declared unfit to exit. They get the nova, then it completely ends for them. No redemption. They wont be risen. They are damned for what they are doing and have done.
“you can’t claim Americans in Minneapolis are anti-Trump. That’s a lie.”
Where is your proof? Last I checked Minnesota was a heavily Democrat leaning state, with Minneapolis being FAR more liberal/Democrat than St. Paul.
Isn’t that where all the Negro Muslims are? Yes, I’m quite sure someone mentioned Sherry’s law is rampant there.
Fuck the illegals. They are criminals. In the past our military would have taken anyone here without permission at gunpoint.
If they don’t like OUR President then fuck them.
That goes for the ones having a hunger strike in jail. Let them starve, that would be an easy solution to the problem.
We need a national registry that would encourage all those who hate this country who are citizens to sign up to sponsor a criminal invader family, and to move that family into their homes and require them to feed and clothe them.
If they want them here so goddamn bad, let them foot the bill.
