St. Paul toy store hit with ICE audit after ABC News story about handing out whistles

They are funding and inciting sedition.  Shut them down and file charges.

The owners of Mischief Toy Store in St. Paul say they were hit with a 
"retaliatory audit" Friday, just hours after ABC News aired a story on 
the store's effort to equip the community with whistles.

Abigail Adelsheim-Marshall, who co-owns the Grand Avenue business with 
her parents, Dan Marshall and Millie Adelsheim, told the network the 
whistles are a non-violent form of protest and a way for community 
members to alert their neighbors to the presence of U.S. Customs and 
Immigration Enforcement (ICE) agents.

What happened after the story aired is now gaining even more attention.

“Three hours later, two plainclothes ICE agents came into our store and 
served us with a Notice of Inspection," Dan Marshall told the Pioneer 
Press.

According to the newspaper, the business has been asked to turn over I-9 
documents for the store's employees.

“We have five part-time employees and three owners," Marshall told the 
newspaper. "So tell me why they want to waste time on five part-time 
employees. But here we are.”

The U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and ICE did not respond 
to the Pioneer Press' request for the comment on the story, which the 
owners of Mischief Toy Store say has gone viral and led to a "HUGE 
amount of support" from the community.

Now, they say they've decided to pay that support forward to immigrants 
rights organizations and mutual aid groups.

"We're not experienced philanthropists, but this made sense to us," they 
shared on Facebook on Tuesday. "Hopefully, ICE will learn that the more 
they try to hurt our community, the more we help each other."

According to Mischief Toy Store, $1,000 donations have been made to the 
Immigrant Law Center of Minnesota, MONARCA, COPAL MN and the Minnesota 
Immigrant Rights Action Committee.

Additionally, $500 donations were sent to the Flourish Placemaking 
Collective and the Twin Cities Vegan Chef Collective.

DHS is also auditing Hennepin Healthcare, with a subpoena issued for the 
hospital's I-9 forms on Jan. 8 – two days after staff and elected 
officials held a press conference criticizing agents' actions at the 
hospital.
