This has a parallel. Into the 2000s, police in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan would take Indigenous folks they found outside late at night on "starlight tours," driving them beyond the city limits, and dumping them there. They'd often freeze to death trying to get home.

There was a post last week telling people not to do ICE observing with kids in tow. Here's an example of something you could do instead.

Governor, when my wife was arrested at BroTex she had a team of attorneys — including legislators & a MN supreme court justice — trying to locate her & they were all stonewalled by Feds. There’s a pattern here.
But the point is that they shouldn’t be disappearing *ANYONE* regardless of citizenship!

Multiple U.S. citizens have been arrested during ICE operations.
The forcefulness, lack of communication, and unlawful practices displayed by federal agents will not be tolerated in Minnesota.

In May, the Trump Admin secretly--and probably illegally--began using SSA data to verify voters' citizenship.
One big problem: Social Security data don’t have complete or up-to-date citizenship info, so this could disenfranchise U.S. citizens ahead of the midterms.

Do you have a whistle? Are you whistle trained? Is everyone in your house (above age idk 10?) trained ?

Form a crowd stay loud. Tell targeted neighbors to stay inside when they hear whistles & don’t open the door.
