Citizen plans for ICE in their neighborhoods

 

Citizens in action in Minneapolis

 

Also in San Diego.

UPDATE 06/04/2025:

[W]hen people who live near Bloomington Avenue and East Lake Street noticed federal agents gathering near Las Cuatro Milpas restaurant.

They quickly called for people to show up, and they did.

[...]

The crowd grew within minutes, as did their calls for members of the Minneapolis Police Department and the Hennepin County Sheriff's Office on scene to leave.

The crowd moved whatever they could in the path of officers and deputies as they escorted federal agents down Lake Street. Some threw garbage cans, and some even threw tires. WCCO's crew at the scene saw pop bottles and bricks hurled at law enforcement and some responded with force.

[...]

"This incident was related to a criminal search warrant for drugs and money laundering," [Mayor Jacob] Frey said.

Frey said the police department's only role was helping with crowd control and keeping the community safe. No arrests were made.

[...]

The sheriff's office says its partnership with federal officials includes "execution of multiple search warrants at multiple locations in the metro area."

"This incident was not related to any immigration enforcement. HCSO has no involvement in civil immigration. HCSO enforces criminal statutes and works on criminal investigations. We work with federal partners regularly on those criminal investigations," the sheriff's office said in a statement.

Police said on social media they didn't have "advance notice" of the federal operation, and "any claims to the contrary are false."

[...]

"The amount of presence they showed today on Lake Street, it was a show of power," Luis Arguenta, with Unidos Minnesota, an immigrant advocacy group.

Arguenta said that he wished "more information had flowed a little freely this morning, even from some of the agents that were on the ground."

Awesome citizen action

 

"Shame!"

Hopefully ICE doesn't return with more agents.  But I expect they will be trying to identify the citizens in the video to arrest for interfering.

Stephen Miller summoned 50 senior ICE officials from around the country for a bonkers emergency meeting about deportation numbers, according to a new report from the conservative Washington Examiner. One official after the meeting: “They’ve been threatened, told they’re watching their emails and texts and Signals. That’s what is horrible about things right now. It’s a fearful environment. Everybody in leadership is afraid. There’s no morale. Everybody is demoralized.”

“Miller came in there and eviscerated everyone. ‘You guys aren’t doing a good job. You’re horrible leaders.’ He just ripped into everybody. He had nothing positive to say about anybody, shot morale down. Stephen Miller wants everybody arrested. ‘Why aren’t you at Home Depot? Why aren’t you at 7-Eleven?'”

I'm gonna say this could backfire.

One official stood up and told Miller that DHS and the WH said they were only supposed to be focused on migrants who had criminal records: “Miller said, ‘What do you mean you’re only going after criminals?’ Miller got into a little bit of a pissing contest. ‘That’s what Tom Homan says every time he’s on TV: ‘We’re going after criminals,'” the ICE official told Miller.”

Apparently what they say to the public is not the same as what they are saying internally to senior ICE officials.

UPDATE 06:50 pm:

Also in Minneapolis.  In the rain.
