Publishing the names of protesters and contacting their employers to have them fired for exercising their rights is a tactic straight out of the White Citizens Councils.
They're going to start using the Kirk witch hunt strategy.

I don’t want to jinx anything, but ICE presence in South Minneapolis has been MASSIVELY down the last two days, and also far less militarized. Very few masks and uniforms, and efforts to disguise their vehicles. Community watch has been suffocating them, I think.

Former DHS Chief of Staff: This administration continues to say they have seen no instances of ICE agents operating against DHS policy. They are lying through their teeth. We have daily documentation of ICE officers not just violating DHS policy, but violating the law and the Constitution.

A lot of people apparently misunderstanding the goal of the ICE terror campaign: bsky.app/profile/kjep...

It's a campaign of collective punishment against the domestic political enemy. The widely documented climate of fear & total disruption of daily life in Minneapolis is this campaign succeeding
The point isn't to "subdue" them. It is to spread chaos & terror, and to punish the enemies of Trump's 'America' for being who they are

One of the many points we're missing is that decades of military worship have made this threat a plausible scenario.

ICE is holding Native Americans hostage as a bargaining chip to raid reservations, saying they won't release them until the tribes give up sovereignty.

When self-employed software engineer Nick Benson put out the call for dashcams online, he thought he’d get maybe 10 people to donate. More than 500 have shown up on his front porch. Here's how one guy crowdsourced 500+ dashcams for Minneapolis to film ICE www.404media.co/how-one-guy-...

The worker who called Trump a “pedophile protector” has been suspended.

He says he has “definitely no regrets whatsoever,” adding: “I don’t feel as though fate looks upon you often, and when it does, you better be ready to seize the opportunity. And today I think I did that.” wapo.st/4sG38CD

So many folks in our legal community are ready and eager to get involved. But right now, a lot of work is being done in a decentralized way, by groups without bandwidth to organize. Let's coordinate efforts.

This is critical reading. They know they're the bad guys. Public opinion and mass resistance matters.
Leaked documents about ICE deployment to Minneapolis suggests they're more worried about the backlash to Renee Good's death than they're letting on:

I thought this was a joke but it’s an actual post from the White House: “we are ending the war on protein”

How about ending the war on the health of this country?

Note that the fascist is not using the pepper spray for crowd control. He is entering a vehicle unimpeded to depart. He is simply using the pepper spray to physically punish an unarmed citizen he doesn't like.
Big clash this afternoon between DHS agents and protesters in a residential street in Minneapolis, following a DHS agent hitting another vehicle. Tear gas was deployed in people’s yards and agents pepper prayed people.
