| Minneapolis police are aggressively clearing out the homeless shelters today |
|
As most of you dont know, I volunteer a lot around the Twin Cities (Minneapolis St. Paul) area and heard this morning from some of the people I meet in this line of work that the Minneapolis Police are visiting all the spots the homeless have to go throughout the day and arresting them en mass for things as small as not having ID.
There is some speculation that this has something to do with the Repuglicon convention, but that seems like an awful long time to hold someone. I also heard through the grapevine that an employee of one of the raided places said there is a deadline (statute of limitations) on some federal warrants that is coming soon and they need to find the people wanted.
I dont know, all I do know is the Minneapolis police are raiding the few places the homeless have to go through the day here in the area.
