ICE agent asked why he's taking pictures of a legal observer's car, replies: "Cuz we have a nice little database and now you're considered a domestic terrorist. So have fun with that."

Target of Viral Botched ICE Raid Was Already in Prison
When ICE agents dragged out ChongLy Thao half-naked in the snow, they were looking for a man named Lue Moua. They should have known exactly where to find him.

Glad to see this reporting and good to see the spineless cowards have the light on them. All these companies that used to strut around with civic pride can eat shit
For decades, executives at big companies in Minnesota have been part of the state’s civic backbone — serving on nonprofit boards, weighing in on workforce issues, joining task forces focused on solving major social issues. Which is why the quiet right now is so striking.
Minnesota’s corporate silence on ICE surge
Major companies in Minnesota have been largely mum on the immigration enforcement operation in the state.

I just want it to be really clear, to people from out of the area, if they see pictures of fires in Minneapolis: THEY WERE STARTED BY ICE. NOT BY PROTESTERS. NOT BY RESIDENTS.
So not only are they shooting our citizens they are setting the city on fire. #MFD did respond. Someone get an Air Quality check in #Minneapolis with the volume of Flash Bangs & Chemical Irritants.
🚨BREAKING: Multiple fires have broken after ICE unleashed ANOTHER ONSLAUGHT of flash bang grenades and chemical gas at unarmed Minneapolis protesters in WAR-LIKE attack. LIVE NOW ⬇️

I have been thinking this same thing. If you drive the speed limit, or a little below the speed limit, if you slow down for stale greens just in case they're about to turn yellow, if you're extra patient with bikers and pedestrians, you're actually following the law AND slowing down ICE.
As I was being tailgated down W. River Parkway by a large SUV with tinted windows, the thought occurred to me that it might help if everyone drives a bit slower. Gives observers more time to identify feds.
We have a 20 MPH speed limit on residential streets, let’s weaponize it

It matters, actually, that a seemingly endless supply of regular people are willing to publicly step up. Your identity can be a weapon. As Will Stancil said: there's safety in numbers. I'd add that there's distinct power in so many people willing to put their faces and names behind opposition to ICE

A video of ICE agents conducting door-to-door searches today in Minneapolis
The homeowner requests a warrant repeatedly, is told they don't require one, then is told they're getting it, then the agents storm in anyway
They also point a taser at her to try and disrupt filming

ICE just indiscriminately stopped a citizen at a bus stop in front of the co-op. If this is how they treat the President of the Minneapolis City Council who is legally observing, just think of what they’re doing to everyone else in our City.

A U.S. citizen legally observed ICE activity from a distance. He didn’t interfere, block agents, or make contact. An ICE agent still threatened lethal force and referenced a recent killing. That’s retaliation for protected speech—and it’s illegal. Caught on video. #sheshed
