Frey signs Executive Order protecting Minneapolis parking lots from immigration enforcement use

‘Today, Mayor Jacob Frey signed an Executive Order prohibiting federal, state, and local agencies from using any City-owned parking lots, ramps, garages, or vacant lots to stage civil immigration enforcement operations. The order also directs City staff to design a signage template for local businesses and property owners who want to show their support for immigrants and mark their property as off-limits for these activities.

Federal immigration authorities previously used municipal lots to stage operations in Chicago before the city issued a similar executive order, and community members in Minneapolis have recommended that Mayor Frey ensure the same does not happen here.

The mayor’s order comes after recent credible media reports outlining the Trump administration’s plans to target Somali immigrants in the Twin Cities. The mayor has been clear: Minneapolis will not waver in its commitment to protect the rights and safety of all people, regardless of immigration status.

“Minneapolis is — and will remain — a city that stands up for our residents,” said Mayor Jacob Frey. “City parking lots need to be used for City purposes, which do not include civil immigration enforcement. There’s no place in our Minneapolis for fear-based tactics or operations that undermine community trust. This Executive Order makes it clear: City parking lots, ramps, garages, and vacant lots cannot and will not be used to stage civil immigration enforcement operations.”’


Very good.

An example for other cities and localities. Make ICE abide by the laws, peacefully.
It is not enforceable.
 
Now we are engaged in a soft civil war.
A "soft civil war" refers to intense societal division, polarization, and conflict without large-scale, conventional warfare, using tools like cyberattacks, economic pressure, media battles, propaganda, nonviolent resistance (sanctuary cities, secessionist votes, marijuana legalization), and legal maneuvering (lawfare) instead of armies, reflecting deep cultural, political, and identity rifts threatening national cohesion, like recent US trends towards state autonomy or secession talk.
Key Characteristics
Non-Kinetic Conflict: Avoids direct, large-scale armed combat but uses coercive, persuasive tactics.
Weaponized Tools: Employs cyber warfare, economic sanctions, disinformation, propaganda, and "lawfare" (using courts strategically).
Political/Social Withdrawal: Includes nonviolent resistance, civil disobedience, boycotts, and movements for secession or increased state/local autonomy (e.g., "Calexit," "Texit," sanctuary cities).
Deep Polarization: Stems from profound differences in identity, values, and political alignment, creating separate realities within a nation.
Examples & Context
United States: Discussions around secession (states, cities), marijuana legalization (clashing with federal law), sanctuary policies, and proliferating intentional communities highlight growing divergence.
Broader Concept: A "soft war" can also describe international tensions, such as Russia/Ukraine or China/Taiwan, using similar non-military methods to achieve strategic goals, notes UC Santa Barbara.
Why It's "Civil War" (But Soft)
Threat to Unity: Like a traditional civil war, it challenges the fundamental unity and governance of a nation.
Different Tactics: The difference lies in the methods; instead of armies clashing, it's a struggle fought through institutions, economies, information, and cultural separation, notes CSIS.
In essence, a soft civil war describes a nation experiencing deep, potentially break-up level fissures, but fought with ballots, bytes, and laws rather than bullets.

It doesn't stay soft forever.

Point how ICE is not abiding by the laws. There is no such thing as 'credible media accounts.'

That doesn't work for the left cult. If they say they have the power to do such and such, that's all their puny mind needs. They believe any lie.
