I asked the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department in a public records request for its automatic license plate reader data and search audits, but they’re refusing to release them. It may take a lawsuit for them to cough it up.

"The response has been overwhelmingly positive, with the weekly cash mobs consistently bringing out more than 200 people."
“the one we went to last week at sanag restaurant, i came with my son, and we were at the front door with a bunch of other people—the owner was trying to hand out menus but didn’t have enough for all the people. i thought, ‘this is a good problem to have.’”

ICE is still active in MN. Their operations are just quieter.
ICE isn't gone from MN.

While overall activity in the state is down - and particularly in the cities of Minneapolis and St Paul. But their still quite active in the metro area (where 80% of the 3.7M MSP metro live) and outstate areas where there are fewer eyes on them. Remain vigilant.

ICE can’t be trusted. Moving forward, we’ll only mark sites 🔴 on the map once a deed is officially recorded with the state.
ICE retracts false claim that it purchased Hudson Valley warehouse
The federal agency said its statement that it bought a former Pep Boys building in Chester to use as a detention center was a “mistake.”

I find it repulsive that agents literally terrorize a city, and then find comfort in local restaurants and hotels. Communities are finding ways to fight back.
Waiters, cooks, dishwashers, bartenders are calling on the hospitality industry to stop letting ICE into their restaurants.
