Starlight Tour [CW: Violence against first nations people; freezing; death]

I haven't been able to find any news articles yet only videos of people on social media discussing it. Some videos:

https://www.reddit.com/r/ICE_Watch/comments/1qr3sz4/healthcare_workers_confirm_that_ice_is_abandoning/

Most of these videos are a week or so old, I haven't found anything newer nor have I found "reliable" reporting, but I am using google search, which is dogshit.

This is really common for releasing detainees from jail, or releasing inmates from prison as well. They just wave you off in the middle of nowhere, often places without transit, sidewalks...middle of the highway, middle of nowhere, whatever weather. People die from it. Horrendous way to make sure even release is a punishment.

I've been watching The Wire and the Baltimore PD in the show basically just does all the heinous shit people are getting mad at ICE for (including dropping innocent people off miles from any civilization) and I guess it's better people get upset about it late than never but also it's been common knowledge this is what cops do for decades at this point

And here I thought the starlight tours were something unique

[–] Muinteoir_Saoirse@hexbear.net 35 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

pigs don't have unique thoughts, they see a way to harm people and they integrate it

[–] BanMeFromPosting@hexbear.net 15 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

Of course, but I didn't think it was institutionalised

Once again slapping the big red button that plays the John Brown quote

The two officers implicated in the Darryl Night case were found guilty of unlawful confinement and were fired from the police force and sent to jail for a minimum sentence.

Justice served once again

need 24/7 eyes on these fucks, tracking every vehicle that exits these facilities and have basically search and rescue teams on stand by and willing to possibly be gunned down for their trouble

i know they are actually doing this in Minneapolis catgirl-salute

Ready to gun down ice should they be harassed*

This isn't fed posting, it's citizens enacting justified self-defensive violence.

BPP tactics need a comeback.

[–] Des@hexbear.net 14 points 15 hours ago

they should absolutely have attached armed volunteer security teams

To try to force google to give me what I want I use advanced operators like double quotes and after:.

I started with this search ICE "Starlight Tours" after:2026-01-10

But then I realized the OP already had Reddit links so I tried more recent dates: after:2026-01-20 then after:2026-01-23

OP - you can put these in the body text if you want to.

Healthcare workers confirm that ICE is abandoning half-naked kidnapping victims in the woods of Minnesota to die. r/Minneapolis

Protesters Blockade ICE Headquarters in Fort Snelling, Minnesota

2026/01/24

I’ve seen one exposure death before. The glassy black skin on their body isn’t a vision I will ever forget. ICE have recently been taking a page out of the Saskatoon Police force’s “Starlight Tours” and dropping off arrestees in the middle of the night in remote areas, intentionally using weather exposure as a weapon of torture. On the morning of the general strike, temperature adjusted for wind chill was about -30 degrees Fahrenheit (-35 Celsius). This can cause uncovered skin to develop frostbite within twenty minutes, a challenge that requires careful planning and specialized clothing to address.

Making a mental note of this as one more crime against humanity.
