Can you call it an "insurrection" yet? 

An “All Employee Email” was sent to “All Exchange Users” on Friday before the Martin Luther King holiday weekend, directing employees on how they could continue to stymie federal immigration agents working in the city.

The tipster who sent the email to Alpha News reporter Liz Collin said, “They are working with protesters within the city to help them track ICE operations [and this] seems like they are complicit in helping impede ICE agents." Yes, it does sound like that. And then the tipster wondered, "[W]ould they like it if we impeded and told people where Mpls police officers were trying to do their work? This seems like it IS an insurrection." Sure seems like it.

It's unclear who sent the email, but it was sent by a person or persons who had access to the entire City of Minneapolis-wide employee email system.

The email is headlined, "Update on activities of federal agents in Minneapolis, guidance for employees." 

"This is a check-in with employees ahead of the long weekend," the email begins. "We send all employees emails when there's a critical update or new time-sensitive instruction for all City employees." 

Then the sender issued a bullet-pointed list of how the city was fighting the federal government over Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and other federal agents, as well as continued pointers on how to impede them. For the record, impeding federal agents is a federal offense punishable by prison time.
