most people deported under Biden in that category were folks with multiple DUIs. DUIs are bad, not saying they aren't, but i don't think most people think those are "violent criminals" in the common use of the term.

Calls for people to film events in Minnesota reflect good intentions, but intention without process produces unusable evidence.
Evidence collected for awareness & evidence collected for legal accountability are not the same activity. They require different standards, safeguards, and infrastructure.

Please consider helping one of our employees who was blatantly racially profiled by ICE, detained, and is now facing deportation. Funds go to support his wife who is still here and afraid to go to work because of what happened to him. Any amount helps. THANKS.

one of the best things about this whole nightmare has been watching a whole bunch of folks who have clearly never been seriously political in their lives standing up and going, no, absolutely the fuck not, we’re not letting this happen
ICE and MAGA really did bet the farm on all of Minneapolis’s white people going “oh yes, please take away our disgusting, evil non-white-foreigner neighbors, oh thank you so much.”
it’s beautiful that they’ve been proven incredibly wrong about that - may the rest of the country do the same.

The reality is that most men will only commit public violence in extremely specific scenarios and ICE Watch disrupts the conditions necessary for escalation.
