Minneapolis Public Schools cancelled for the rest of the week

 Note that the Minneapolis Public Schools have cancelled for the rest of the week; the following went out last night:

The plural on "incidents" is due to students outside of Roosevelt High School in Minneapolis being sprayed with "chemical irritants" by ICE yesterday afternoon, in addition, of course, to the slaying by ICE earlier in the day of mother and poet Renee Nicole Good.

Minnesota Public Radio has more on the Roosevelt High incident now: 

The move came after officials at Roosevelt High School said armed U.S. Border Patrol officers came on school property during dismissal Wednesday and began tackling people, handcuffed two staff members and released chemical weapons on bystanders. 

“The guy, I’m telling him like, ‘Please step off the school grounds,’ and this dude comes up and bumps into me and then tells me that I pushed him, and he’s trying to push me, and he knocked me down,” a school official, who spoke to MPR News on condition of anonymity said. 

“They don’t care. They’re just animals,” the official added. “I’ve never seen people behave like this.”
