The head of the Minneapolis teachers union<\/a> said in a recent interview that elected officials are involved in anti-ICE agitation in the city.<\/p>\n

“The notion that people that are actively engaged in ICE watch, in being vigilant in protecting our neighbors, in Signal chat groups, running plates, in their cars doing patrols \u2014 that somehow we’re ashamed of that activity, that somehow you can call our bosses and show our faces and then we would be shunned by our community…” Marcia Howard told Al Jazeera<\/a> in an interview that aired last week.<\/p>\n

Howard is the president of the Minneapolis Federation of Educators, and perhaps best known for her role in championing the 2020 riots in the city over the death of George Floyd<\/a>. She was also an English teacher for 25 years, including during the riots. She has been described as a “steward” of George Floyd Square, a memorial area where Floyd was killed. She meets there with local activists every morning.<\/p>\n

“Our bosses are in the Signal chats with us,” she said. “Our elected officials are in the chats with us.”<\/p>\n

Howard also said that local “nanas,” hockey coaches and soccer moms are participating in the pushback against federal immigration enforcement<\/a>, as ICE and Border Patrol attempt to arrest illegal aliens, many of whom have further criminal histories in the United States.<\/p>\n

“Everybody that’s anybody is doing the work of protecting our neighbors, because that’s how we show up in Minneapolis and St. Paul<\/a>,” she said.<\/p>\n

She also said that teachers are involved in the attempts to subvert federal law enforcement.<\/p>\n

“We’re armed with whistles and our phones making sure that students are safe going to class,” she said. “And then they escalated the brutality. Every single day they taunted us. From their rental trucks, they would do things like \u2014 the agents that they brought<\/a> to the Twin Cities \u2014 these hapless, untrained, overly-militarized agents, were in hotel rooms where they did not detain the workers in those hotel rooms because they wanted to be served by immigrants.”<\/p>\n

She also said federal immigration officers have, “declared war on my state, they have declared war in my city,” and compared them to slave catchers and the Ku Klux Klan.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Fox News Digital reached out to the Minneapolis Federation of Educators for comment.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
