We have ~15 separate radio dispatches, one for each neighborhood, and dozens more for the suburbs/Saint Paul. Each dispatch/monitoring channel contains somewhere between 500 and 2000 people. At any given time there are probably a dozen mobile patrols and 100 on-foot observers in each neighborhood.
Does Minneapolis have a radio dispatch set up for the people who are following ICE? That's brilliant.
alright here you go

Did you see Will Stancil's skeet on how many radio channels he and his fellow legal observers have set up?
Around 15.
Each with around 1500 people on it. All of them passing the word, ready to go where needed.
That's why ICE has been all but run out of South Minneapolis.

Yes. We learned from what other cities experienced.
ICE's ability to operate in Minneapolis & St. Paul has been degraded, so it's concentrating on the suburbs and outstate Minnesota, where the networks haven't been as fully developed. Yet.
Which is just what the MN GOP didn't want to see happen.

So working as designed then.
I don’t think people quite understand that the occupation by ICE in the Twin Cities has more or less erased non-white people from public life. They cannot safely exist in any space accessible to the public and moving between private places leaves folks vulnerable to kidnapping by armed masked goons.

I have given up on every faith-based institution that has not articulated that abolishing ICE is a core theological commitment. Anything less is moral cowardice at this point. They wonder why no one cares about church anymore? So much handwringing/meetings, but the answer is simple - give a damn.

Photo by Pierre Lavie. Yes this is me. And I threw my Leica. It landed on the bass plate with hardly a scratch. Another Photographer grabbed it along with my phone and I was able to track him later. I was held face down tear gas deployed right in front of me and pepper sprayed directly into the eye.
