ICE Killings in Minnesota: Why Silence Is a Choice | The Healthy Project

Today’s episode is not the one I planned to release. I was supposed to share an interview I was excited about, but it didn’t feel right to move forward after the tragic killings by ICE agents in Minnesota. Families are grieving. Communities are scared. And pretending everything is normal felt like the wrong move.

In this solo emergency episode, I speak honestly about not having the right words, but choosing to not stay silent. The Healthy Project was created to shine a light on the systems that harm people, and what happened in Minnesota is not just a headline. It is state violence. It is the predictable result of a system built on fear and enforcement.

This episode is about sitting with discomfort, naming what’s happening, and turning awareness into action. I share why immigration enforcement has always been violent, why no human being deserves to die because of documentation status, and what you can do right now to support impacted communities.

We talk about:

• The ICE killings in Minnesota and why this matters to all of us
• How silence protects harmful systems
• The human cost behind immigration enforcement
• Ways you can take action through education, mutual aid, and community support

This is a heavy episode. But it’s a necessary one. You don’t need perfect words to show up. You just need to refuse to look away.
