Good call to action: “You have an absolute right to peacefully film ICE agents as they conduct their activities...Help us create a database of the atrocities against Minnesotans – not just to establish a record for posterity, but to bank evidence for future prosecution."

I added captions to this video of people heckling Greg Bovino leaving a Target in Minneapolis, and there's so many people yelling things at him it's like a comedy skit

Unfortunately, this is the part where I remind people that Black 10th graders get beat up by cops every day.
This is the part where I remind people about modern civil asset forfeiture, where US police steal more value from people (mostly Black) than every form of theft other than wage theft.

It is in no way “law enforcement” to beat up an American 10th grader and steal and sell his possessions.
This is 10th-grader Arnoldo Bazan.
A citizen.
Immigration agents grabbed him and put him in a chokehold.
"We're from the United States bro!' he screamed.
Agents took and sold his phone
And when he finally got home hours later, his shirt was ripped, he neck had angry, red welts, and he sobbed.

Hi fellow #Costco members
Just got off the phone with them.
1-800-774-2678
I said I understood that people are being abducted at warehouse property in #LA and asked what their policy was on allowing agency actions on their properties.
They told me a policy will be announced in 2-3 days.

People heard that the DEICER app was removed from the app stores a few months ago.
It was removed, but it’s not gone!
You can't get it in app stores, but you can download a web app that works on both platforms here. deicer.org
It seems important, with the recent escalation, to share information!
