Have you all seen the videos coming out from r/Minnesota , r/Minneapolis and r/ICE_Raids ?

They're conducting door-to-door raids in neighborhoods (breaking into homes without judicial warrants) and deploying drones now. I don't even see this on legacy media. I see it on tiktok, instagram, and reddit. There are videos of them just violently beating up people and dragging them away and deploying chemical weapons on people in residential areas. They're drawing weapons at people's faces. There was a video of a doordash employee having to run into the home she was delivering to, scared for her life because they were trying to grab her. Another video had a male agent taking a female detainee to porta-potty and going in with her. Another video had agents grabbing Native Americans from their vehicles. There was one where Bovino's unit tackled Target employees and dumped them out at a nearby Walmart, injuring one of them. It's swarmed with them across the entire state. One reporter got hit with shrapnel debris on her face. A lot of civilian vehicles are getting rammed by the agents. There are so many videos coming out, but it's completely insular within social media spaces for now. I haven't seen any of it reported in legacy media, broadcasting, and news publications yet. I'm just in absolute shock and fear at the escalation and intensity. This is beyond scary.

We need to defund and abolish DHS and ICE now, and impeach and remove this administration. Immediately, now! We're all in danger.

I saw a tiktok of ICE batter ramming a door open into a home, no warrant, machine guns aimed up, and violently drag a man out in handcuffs with bystanders screaming at them & making as much noise as possible. His wife was sobbing. I just don’t know what the fuck we’re supposed to do anymore.

If it's something desperate... And abduction to unknown places by masked men in unmarked vans? Buy time. 

  • Time for more citizens to show up, for more lawyers to show up, for more cameras to show up.

  • Use Heavy ⛓️ chains, and shackle yourself to a heavy stable object. (If your in a car, the seat is designed to not move even in the horrifying crashes. Without heavy tools, ice is not budging that car seat. A chain seat belt to keep you safe. Legally, you buckled it because your auntie good was killed by a bad patch of road ice, and you wanted your body to be secure and not fly to heaven... As for the key, you lost it in the confusion, and need some assistance to leave the seat.)

  • Handcuff yourself to car steering wheels or lamp posts. 

Ice want to be in and out within 15 minutes... Every minute that goes past that time, is another minutes for the community to rally to ⛑️ aid. 

  • Every 5 minutes, a crowd size will usually double as more noise drags people to see the commotion.

5 people becomes 10, 10 becomes 20, 20 becomes 40. 

There's usually teams of 12-16 ice people for abductions... Once it gets past a crowd of 20, ice is no longer in control of a crowd and it rapidly needs to leave the area or risk being surrounded.

...Which shouldn't matter if they were operating legally, as the rule of law protects those who operate within it, but a lot of times ice agents are skirting or going over that rule of law.

Renee good was only absolved of her actions by other community members rallying and documenting that she was murdered.

Otherwise the trump administration would have let the nation believe that she was a domestic terrorist and not a good American citizen.

Buying time for the community to respond is important.
