Minnesota lawyers: this doc is intended to serve as a living, iterated-on clearinghouse for volunteer opportunities. It's very much a work in progress, but I'll be updating it as resources develop.
Everyone has something to contribute regardless of practice area or experience. Let's get to work.

It’s absolute negligence that Delta wouldn’t stand up to this. Just absolute collaborator stuff.

It’s been reported locally, but I’m not sure how much national notice this has gotten. As part of this invasion by shithead goons, they are putting ICE agents in jetbridges and other parts of the airport at Minneapolis-Saint Paul. If you are flying Delta via MSP, you are putting yourself at risk.

U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents will begin checking documents of travelers and workers at MSP airport, with patrols inside jet bridges.

The city is bumping, the whistles are blowing, everybody looks good. There is much pain in the world but not in this room.
Bro, people are going to build entire lives around the neighbors they’ve found in these anti-ICE signal chats. Marriages, lifelong friendships, weird hobbies. It is actually breaking my brain. I am almost crying in the club (chat).

Attorney: No proper warrant for Minneapolis man's arrest in home
The arrest of Garrison Gibson came in a city increasingly on edge after an immigration agent shot and killed Renee Good last week.

At one point today, there were 283 Minnesota attorneys doing a training on how to file emergency habeas petitions to keep our neighbors from being shipped out of state and held indefinitely.
That would be the second largest law firm in the state. And that training was just put together this week.

republican donors and landlords like brian fitterer also gave to all of mpls to benefit their candidates, and elizabeth shaffer who is voting against the eviction moratorium. we said all last year this fucking republican alliance was gonna be a problem in 2026 but i didn’t think it would be this way
Cecil Smith is a Republican donor who supports ICE. We should not be listening to him now. If he truly cares about what is happening in Minneapolis, he should tell his Republicans to pull back on the retribution and reckoning.

ELITE gets data from lots of sources, and one of them appears to be Thomson Reuters' CLEAR data product. ICE has long contracted with the company, which sells addresses and other personal data. Those addresses can come from credit header data (when you open a card) www.404media.co/elite-the-pa...

Getting a lot of messages. A lot are like "Can I come help?" (appreciated, but unless you know the area very well, probably not THAT useful) or "Can I send money?" (not to me, please).
But the best ones are like "I want to build what you guys have back in my home city." YES, DO THAT. DO IT NOW.

Moratorium on evictions, NOW.
Dear neighbor,
We don’t know when this ICE occupation is going to end. Our neighbors are not sheltering in place because they are struggling to pay for rent, bills, and groceries. While the community has been meeting the moment, it’s time for the government to step in and help. 1/

An eviction moratorium is desperately needed in Minneapolis and elsewhere impacted by the ICE occupation
At the same time, there also needs to be more creative ways to create more local friction for ICE, from the city level

The fact that there hasn't been an eviction moratorium issued is the sort of thing that lawmakers should be forced to answer for. Abject, unnecessary cruelty in a crisis.
