Three short whistles if you see ICE in your area; three long whistles if you see ICE kidnapping someone.
3D printed whistles can be found for free at just about any local/independent business in the twin cities.

TFW you think someone is already doing the most, and you find out they're doing even more.
Apparently, ICE isn’t doing enough…

Watching cricket with Dad.
I play entirely too much Monopoly Go. That game was such a pivotal piece of childhood memory, so they have me in a bit of a hold.
But I’m also not a fan of the Harry Potter tie-in they’ve got going on right now, so I need to take a timeout.
