(821 posts)Since we have so many people who are afraid to go out or reveal their locations at all, its best that we keep it to the NGO networks that have been set up. The mutual aid groups, etc. Its an entire underground support network that ICE would love to learn about and dismantle.
Its working for now, but none of this is sustainable in the long run. Someone needs to distract Trump and he'll get 'em out of here.

You are right, it is not sustainable. Minneapolis in particular is under a lot of stress!
This could break the city.

(821 posts)We're getting smarter about how to resist every day. There's random roundabouts make with junk going up in various parts of the city to impede ICE vehicles, kind of like checkpoints. The police for the most part are looking the other way. We're making sure they have no peace at their hotels, they're tracked everywhere they go, and any time they get out of their vehicles, a crowd gathers with cameras and whistles and bullhorns.
Its got to be tough for those guys to have abuse hurled at them from the moment they leave the Whipple building (where there's a daily crowd of hundreds screaming at them as they arrive and depart), through their kidnap patrols in the city, where they're followed by honking cars, all of that.
We're starting to identify them as well, figure out where they go out to eat, and make sure the establishments know how we feel about them serving ICE agents.
When Stephen Miller said that there's an organized resistance, he was right, we're VERY organized here. Neighbors looking out for neighbors, people going the extra mile to support their communities. It would be beautiful if it wasn't due to something so ugly.
