They Resisted ICE. Now They Face Years in Prison.

In the early months of 2026, thousands of people around Minnesota gathered together to protect their neighbors from ICE’s campaign of terror. Months later, the Trump administration indicted 15 of those people on federal charges for their involvement in rapid response, mutual aid, and protest.

Sam talks to Isaac Sant, one of the Minnesota 15. While the agents who murdered Minneapolis residents Renee Good and Alex Pretti still haven’t been charged, the Minnesota 15 face felony charges of “conspiracy to injure or impede federal officers.”

IN THE NAME OF HUMANITY, WE REFUSE TO ACCEPT A FASCIST AMERICA!

NOW IS the TIME WHEN WE MUST RISE UP and ACT to STOP the CONSOLIDATION of TRUMP MAGA FASCISM. For the lives of people here and around the world we must refuse unlawful and inhumane orders… we must fill the streets and town squares in non-violent protest—not stopping until we become millions — not relenting until this regime is no longer able to implement its program or maintain its hold on power.
