Sheriff Stanek's office has been shut down by two families facing imminent eviction and their supporters demanding a meeting. Sergio's son Jonathan and Jaymie Kelly would like to ask that no public resources be used to carry out unjust and unnecessary evictions at the behest of the criminal banks. ** 9 hours ago
Homeowners facing imminent eviction have been thrown out of city hall by sheriff Stanek's office as supporters joined the families in singing and chanting outside the sheriff's office to demand a meeting to ask that public resources not be used to carry out unjust evictions. After waiting for over an hour without a response Homeowners began to knock on the doors and were promptly thrown out.
Sheriff Stanek needs to remember that he is paid by the citizens of Hennepin county, not the banks. ** 7 hours ago
