There’s reports that there will be 1,000 more agents coming to our city. We need that same surge in residents out patrolling our streets. Even if you can’t patrol, come work from a coffee shop on one of cultural corridors so you can be there to show up for our neighbors.

This is the blueprint. Pay attention. When ICE shows up, neighbors alert neighbors with whistles, horns, voices cutting through fear.
People come out of their homes. And when the community reaches critical mass, ICE is forced to retreat because occupation fails when the people refuse to disappear.

ICE rammed into a car at 34th and Park And then began to question the immigration status of U.S. Citizen Latino’s they crashed into.
They also deployed chemical irritants into the eyes of the press. Abolish ICE now.

This helicopter is labeled as a “private owner” - took off from Flying Cloud in EP about 12:30, circled Maple Grove High School while they had a walk out, now being a nuisance over Roosevelt; news chopper I’d guess? State patrol flies out of St Paul, guard from near MSP. #mplshelicopters

This picture was taken in 2000 by an Associated Press photographer who was allowed to be present as an observer. ICE now keeps press blocks away from the areas where they are operating. One of the first actions ICE takes during a raid is to confiscate phones.

“Can I check a pulse?” yelled the bystander, standing across Portland Avenue from Renee Good’s lifeless body inside her crashed SUV, video footage of the exchange shows.
“No,” an agent replies. “Back up.”
“I’m a physician!”
“I don’t care.”
“No,” an agent replies. “Back up.”
“I’m a physician!”
“I don’t care.”
‘I’m a physician,’ he said. ‘Don’t care’ was the reply.
Bystander medical assistance was declined during the restraint-related death of George Floyd, and now after the shooting of Renee Good.
