When Customs and Border Protection and Commander Gregory Bovino move into town, so does Whistlemania.
Activists create and distribute thousands of 3D-printed whistles, and their piercing cries are used to signal that immigration agents are nearby.

Many CT immigration cases are transferred to NYC court, where ICE is far more active
