I was just supposed to follow clergy leaders as they did a pilgrimage from George Floyd Square to Renée Good’s memorial. But then when we got back to the landing spot, we found out an observer had been attacked by ICE agents who had been tailing the religious leaders. From me today in Minneapolis:

ICE attacked an observer after they tailed a group of clergy on a spiritual pilgrimage. Our digital producer @sam.vp just so happened to be with the clergy on their journey. He spoke with the observer who was attacked and others who witnessed the assault.

I’m currently at the entrance to Coast Guard Island where National Guard troops and ICE agents are being housed prior to their deployment on the Bay Area. Couple hundred people are here blocking access in and out. Lots of faith leaders here who are praying at the edge of the property line.

Veterans, federal workers (not named out of fear of retaliation), organizers and activists, costume lovers—thousands and thousands were out in San Francisco for the #HandsOff protest. "We swear an oath to defend the Constitution from all enemies, foreign and domestic." WATCH:

An incredible and important piece of journalism that is unfortunately all too relevant again as Trump already signed an executive order that seems to prepare the admin to roll back bans on the practice of conversion therapy. Congrats to @hencarnell.bsky.social and @msjpauly.bsky.social!
