KEY POINTS
- â˘Will Stancil attended a thank-you event for Minnesotans opposing ICE, hosted by Rep. Ilhan Omar at Minneapolis's Uptown VFW.
- â˘Despite the festive setting with tacos, drinks, and dancing, Willâs reputation for online confrontations preceded him among local contacts.
- â˘Two days after the event, Stancil was removed from his neighborhood Signal chat for being a divisive and combative personality.
Will Stancil, the Minneapolis man known for school desegregation work and fiery online spats, got unceremoniously booted from his peaceful neighborhood Signal chat just two days after mingling at an Uptown VFW taco bash hosted by Rep. Ilhan Omar. Despite the event featuring drinks, dancing, and gratitude toward Minnesotans fighting ICE in both big and petty ways, Willâs reputation as a combative character sparring with leftists on Bluesky and white supremacists on X apparently spoiled the vibe. His no-show dance moves couldnât save him from being the digital pariah of 2026 Minneapolis.
