Jacob Frey, mayor of Minneapolis, said in an interview with Lulu Garcia-Navarro in NYT: ‘You know what I don’t want them doing? I don’t want them spending a single minute hunting down a father that just dropped his kids off at day care who’s about to go work a 12-hour shift, who happens to be from Ecuador.’

And about governor Tim Walz’s advice to videotape ICE agents: ‘Sunlight is the best disinfectant. Our police officers have body cameras. They like using the body cameras because it also protects them. If they do the right thing, they know that they’re going to get supported, and they know it’ll be visible to both their bosses, the chain of command and the broader public. So do I support people actively recording what’s taking place in public? Yeah.’

Sunlight is the best disinfectant, and civil disobedience sometimes helps when the state becomes a hoodlum.
