Video: Activists Serve ICE a Notice of Deportation

On May 22nd, the Department of Homeland Security held an "Immigration Rountable" at Fort Snelling in St. Paul, Minnesota. The meeting was created under the guise of discussing the "civil liberties of immigration." Activists from the Minnesota Immigrants Rights Action coalition (MIRAc), Dakota activists, and allies came to the meeting to bring meaningful issues to the table.

The meeting soon proved to be a PR campaign; the speakers from Homeland Security and Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) were unable to answer questions about the civil liberties of detainees including those who have died in detention centers, as well as the families that have been torn apart by the current immigration policies. At this point the activists deemed the meeting illegitimate and served notices of deportation to ICE agents from the city of Minneapolis.  Activists demanded an immediate end to the meeting, and disallowed further proceedings with chants. The police then ended the meeting, forcing all attendees to vacate the building.
