Minneapolis has been a site of important struggle in the U.S. (Turtle Island). In 2020, police murdered George Floyd in Minneapolis and sparked global uprisings for racial justice and abolition.

Since late 2025, Minneapolis has been swarmed by 4000+ border police forces (ICE) by the Trump administration — this militarized presence has been met with strong, coordinated, and mass resistance from local neighborhood communities, which has only amplified following ICE’s murders of Renee Good and Alex Pretti.

Organizers from Minneapolis will speak about the city’s fight against ICE today, including lessons learned around neighborhood-based organizing, rapid response mutual aid networks, and the diversity of tactics on the ground.

We invite you to learn and discuss what we might apply and adapt to our own context in Europe, where migrants and refugees have been at acute risk, the EU border guard Frontex is increasingly militarized, and “mass deportations” are the rallying cry for EU governments.
