1:19Ben Meiselas:All hell is breaking loose in Minnesota, in the cities of Minneapolis and St. Paul, as Donald Trump is now threatening to send in the army. 1 ,500 paratroopers are set to potentially join the 3 ,000 ICE and Border Patrol Gestapo, who are currently terrorizing these communities. If you look at what a typical Mexican restaurant looks like right now in Minneapolis and St. Paul, they have signs on them saying, we're open, but please knock and let us know who you are first as the ICE and Border Patrol Gestapo continue to terrorize communities, targeting Mexican restaurants, targeting special education schools, targeting hospitals, targeting the peaceful protesters.

2:07Ben Meiselas:I want to show you what is going down in Minneapolis and St. Paul. I want to give a special shout out to our friends over at Status Coup News. They do an incredible job documenting what's taking place on the ground. It's been an honor to work with them. Make sure you subscribe to the Status Coup YouTube, the Status Coup Substack. Become a member of what they're doing because it ultimately helps our on the ground reporting with them. Also subscribe to our YouTube channel, help us get to 6 million subscribers. Most of the videos I'm going to show you are from status quo. This first one I'm going to show you is not, but it's an important one.

2:46Ben Meiselas:Here, I'm going to show you how the United States government, how the SS Gestapo, the paramilitary forces of the Trump regime are planting individuals on the street to pretend that they are protesters, but they are actually agitators who are trying to cause problems and then force the Border Patrol and ICE Gestapo to arrive in order to terrorize people. So these are actually Border Patrol and ICE Gestapo pretending to be protesters who then get unpeaceful or not peaceful, and then they use that as a pretext for further attacks and invasion by ICE and the Border Patrol. Watch what happens right here as a individual kind of falls to the ground and you think that it's a protester.

3:36Ben Meiselas:And then he's like, I'm with you guys. I'm with you guys. And then all of a sudden, watch who swoops in the ICE and Border Patrol Gestapo. Here, play this clip.

3:58I was with him earlier. Why he ran out earlier? I don't know, he was more than us. I'm with them. Trust me. You know you're the one for people now, eh? You better have to take less, you better have to take less. You better have to take less. You better have to take less. Move back! Move back! Move back! Move back! Move back! Move back right now! Move back! Back up! Back up! Yeah! Save your Nazi! put him in your Nazi van. Go get him some help. He needs a little bit of fucking middle health there. Don't he? Nobody got guns. You gonna let me in the eye when you spray me? You gonna let me in the eye when you spray me?

4:42You gonna be just like the fucking guy. Don't be scared. Nobody got guns. Don't be scared. I gotta look at you. I can't fucking hear her. I'm the gun now. I'm the gun. Move her.

5:00Everybody got cameras. You got cameras. Get the tag. Get the tag. Get the tag. Get the tag. Get the tag.

5:13Get the tag.

5:22Ben Meiselas:Now, this next video I'm going to show you is from status quo as mostly all the remaining videos are. Here you'll see with arms linked and snow falling, Minneapolis peaceful ICE protesters are dancing as ICE agents retreat back. Na na na na na na na na na. Hey hey hey, goodbye. Here play this clip.

6:04Let's go.

6:35Ben Meiselas:Now, this was from this past weekend. status coup news was on the ground as a right-wing agitator who was confronted by the Minneapolis ICE protesters, ran to his car, and then barreled his car over people, hit people with the car, and continued to drive off from a parking garage. Let's play this clip.

7:27They just ran into somebody as they drove away.

7:35Ben Meiselas:now a lot of these hateful uh i uh pro ice uh people who were out there there was a lot of um people who were there right-wing extremists who were trying to uh be provocateurs to uh rile up people they were using slurs and uh white nationalist type of stuff um and the peaceful protesters really asserted themselves and stood up to them. Let me show you as Minneapolis protesters shut down the hate march led by right wing agitator, Jake Lang. You see Lang right there getting water poured on him, it appears. And here's as the protesters break up the hate rally, play this clip. Are you running in fear?

8:27Did this turn out the way you wanted it to? No. There you go. He's already said it did not turn out the way he wanted it to. No. Fuck off. Fuck that day.

8:44Fuck.

8:48Well. we already heard it from uh one of the guys himself he tried to get into this crowd and i don't know why start some shit and uh i asked him uh i asked him if it turned out the way he

9:02Ben Meiselas:thought he wanted it to and he said no so then went through status quo we were able to hear from some voices on the ground like here you have a minneapolis ice protester talking about how really just wanted to be here to show support to the people who are really scared. Play this clip. People are being respectful of each other and respectful of the cause that we're here for and recognize that it's a bigger, it's a bigger goal than the moment. Yes, I just want to be out here supporting people who are really scared right now and just, it's very dangerous for them and so i'm standing in solidarity with the people who are afraid uh i won't mention the guys names the the live streamers try to just start in this most recent kind of turn where it's like trying to open doors at the um at the daycare centers and shocker a random guy is not an adult is not allowed into a daycare center um and um acting like it's some big thing and then getting like you know the okay you know getting the thumbs up from the president the United States.

10:09It's just over the top. It's just like there's no words for it. It's just I can't believe it's happening. And I feel like we're being threatened like, OK, you don't agree with me. This is what I'm going to do to you. It's baffling. I don't know what it is that he's like picking out on us. I don't know why. I I'm disgusted by it. I'm frightened by it, but I'm not going to sit home and, you know, not do anything. If I can do anything, give money, you know, show up for my neighbors. That's what I'm going to do.

12:33Ben Meiselas:Next, you have somebody speaking to Status Koo, who talks about how effing ice is terrorizing our neighborhoods and kidnapping our people. Let's play this clip right here. What brings you out here today? That fucking ice is terrorizing our neighbors. They're kidnapping people. They're gassing schools. They're shooting people. And they, like we see ice agents commit crimes on a daily basis and one of the fucking cops just said to me that they can't do shit so if ice fucking goes to your home and rapes your mother apparently the cops can't do shit about that there was the fucking jake lang and his like three other fucking nazis who showed up and then we fucking scared them off chased them right back into this fucking hotel show them that they're not fucking welcome in minnesota there were actually three different events organized today to protect our neighbors in Cedar Riverside.

13:24They didn't get past the first line of defense. So many people showed up that we scared those Nazis back home. Minnesota shows up for our neighbors. ICE is not welcome here. Our neighbors, immigrants or legal or whatever. Everyone is welcome here except for fucking ICE. And we are going to make that clear every fucking day until they get the fuck out. I've been pushed to the ground for standing still. We've seen them literally drive by, drop a gas tank and then drive off. They're not fucking doing shit. And especially if they're not going to send the cops or any type of law enforcement to actually protect and enforce that, nothing's going to fucking happen.

14:03The vice president said they have absolute fucking immunity. Do you think they're not going to act with absolute immunity? We need to fucking do something. And right now, the only people doing something is our community, not law enforcement, not Minnesota, not Minneapolis, but our community and each other.

14:21Ben Meiselas:Next, you have a Minneapolis ICE protester talking about what I discussed at the beginning of this video, that Donald Trump is readying 1 ,500 military troops, these paratroopers from the army who are going to be potentially, what, just like being deployed to further terrorize the communities. And these peaceful protesters are like, do you think we need the tensions to be any higher right now. We already have ICE and Border Patrol terrorizing us. Here, play this clip. I mean, I was born and raised in Minnesota and just the spirit of the city. And after everything that happened in 2020, I just felt everyone came together in such a special and amazing way.

15:03And I think Minnesota is really stands out among other states for that. And I just want to be part of that and I believe in that. And now the next thing is he's prepared 1 ,500 troops. He's called up 1 ,500 army troops from Alaska to potentially the cold weather, you know, cold weather guys, you know, to be prepared to come in here. I mean, I don't think tensions need to be any higher and that will only make things more tense. And also, what's the point? Like we're out here peacefully protesting, what would they be here for? And I think we've also proven that we can stay peaceful and that we will stay peaceful.

15:43And the police are the agitators. The police are the escalators, not us. What, uh, there's an amazing crowd out here today. Like I keep saying, like, I think it's, uh, it's like with windshield, it's like negative four or something like that. It feels like it's already dropped a little bit since we got out of the car. Um, but, um, what do you say about like all the number of people who are out here, like actually coming out day after day, but this is a huge crowd, even just the last couple days that I've been out here. Yeah, I mean, I think it's amazing. Again, it fills my heart. It really, like, it's a light in this dark time, and yeah, it's truly amazing.

16:21Ben Meiselas:Next, you have an Ohio woman talks about how she came to Minneapolis just to show solidarity. Here, play this clip. I'm from Ohio. I drove up here to be supportive and do my duty and be out here. And they're just amazing here. There's food. There's things to warm your hands. They care. And they support each other. And it's fantastic. So I want to be here for my neighbors. And they're here for me. And it's great. How do you feel that the president seems to really have, really love sending troops to this city? I feel like he's a treasonous traitor. And he doesn't know anything about our Constitution.

16:57And he doesn't know anything about our rights or anything about our country. I mean, that is not what our country is. That's not what we're about. And everything he says is complete nonsense. He's an absolute moron. He's a criminal. He's a pedophile. And he's a pedophile protector. And I really don't care about anything he says. But I'm up for any fight he wants to bring. It's time now. White people need to stand up. I thought when, you know, maybe I guess it's going to take a white life to die. I thought that would be enough for people to understand where we're at now. and I guess it's going to take more.

17:33I don't, I hope not, but I mean, this is wrong. It's wrong. We can't do this. This is a police state. You can't do this.

17:44Ben Meiselas:Next, we have another Minneapolis ICE protester talking about how she believes, and I believe this as well, that Donald Trump's plan here is really just to declare martial law, shut down the midterms and try to declare himself the Fuhrer, which is what he's masquerading or trying to be right now. But that's where this is ultimately heading. Here, play this clip. Already pissed off, but we're ready to stand up and fight, obviously. I think though, at the end of the day, Donald Trump is going to do whatever he can to declare martial law before November so that there won't be any midterms. I really think that's what this is all about.

18:21This is his plan, whether it's a civil war or war with other countries. obviously I just feel like he's setting us up is what he's doing for his own plans and it's disgusting and it's sad you know this feels like we're living in some kind of dystopian world and I hope people in other states watch multiple news you know outlets to get the real story out because obviously we know that this administration is lying. They're lying about everything from Renee Good to what we're doing here today. It's all lies. See it from all different angles and try to get the truth because it's chaos, right? And that's his plan.

19:07So to try and find the truth. So people like you who are out here every day talking to people, I think that's a blessing.

19:19Ben Meiselas:Next, you've seen this guy before. I'm sure you may have seen him on Instagram or his other socials on TikTok. He goes by the name Dawok Farmer, and he tells Status Koo why he's there protesting. And he says, our nation's falling. In fact, he says, I think our nation has already fell, but we need to stand up. We need to stand up to this ICE Gestapo. Here's what he has to say. Here, play this clip. I just want to thank you guys, man. I see you everywhere, every fucking day. Like you are killing it, man. You're fucking everywhere. Fucking badass, brother. Yeah. Do you mind talking to us for a second?

19:57Yeah, I will. What, Brodovich, you come out every single day. You've been arrested. You've been pulled into there before. What, like, what keeps you going? Well, our nation's falling. In my opinion, the republic has already fallen. Congress has failed. No one is coming to save us. The midterms might not save us. I just want to stand up for humanity while we can. I'm seeing the exact parallels of 1939 Nazi Germany. I thought Venezuela was going to be Poland. But, you know, I'm seeing this happening in my nation. I love this country. I love all people, no matter the race, religion. None of that shit matters to me.

20:29And so I feel an obligation as having the privilege of having a VA disability check so I can be out here. And now I have a social platform, so my voice is getting out there. So I just can't stop. I just feel that it's my patriotic duty. I swore an oath to the Constitution, and I plan to fucking uphold it. Remind people who you are. I'm DeWoke Farmer. Well, DeWoke Farmer too now because they keep banning my accounts because I'm a little vulgar, I'm a little loud. Yeah. So yeah. Yeah. They know how to resist. They've been through this fire before with George Floyd and many other times. They know how to fight back.

21:04Yeah. And I think that people are scared. People are seeing what's happening and they know it's the fucking same thing as Nazi Germany. Yeah. They see that this city has been invaded by 4 ,000 fucking private troops, Donald Trump's private army. and so they know that if they're not out here, they're complicit. So if you're willing and able and physically able to get off your couch, it just takes you to be out here. You don't have to yell. You don't have to wave a flag. You can just stand here. You can wear a costume.
