My husband and I are flying to Minneapolis

[phylny]

in a few weeks for a wedding. I hate to have to say this, but we’re white and I know that confers privilege to us. Should I get a burner phone for the trip in case I’m stopped at the airport or elsewhere?

Thanks.

1. No. You'll be fine.

ICE is mostly in the suburbs now. Be sure to visit an immigrant-owned restaurant while you're here; they really need the business.

2. The wedding is in Minnetonka.

Thank you!

3. I was in Minnetonka yesterday. Not a single ICE vehicle to be seen.

You should be fine in Minnetonka which is too posh for them; they are mostly in the lower-income suburbs like Fridley, Columbia Heights and Brooklyn Park.

4. To highlight how blatantly racist the whole ICE stunt operation has been....

If you’re white (and not protesting), you won’t be bothered…..

5. Sigh.

Yes, we are old and white. I’m ashamed of our country.

Thank you for your response.
