Border Patrol Commander Greg Bovino says that the whistles and honking actually help the feds make apprehensions. I witnessed the complete opposite in New Orleans.

Man I really underestimated how bad it’s gotta feel to get verbally abused through a bullhorn by someone with a Minnesota accent
This morning in Minneapolis, an ICE vehicle got stuck on an icy hill in a residential neighborhood. Agents had to push the vehicles out, some almost slipping in the ice themselves.

Border Patrol Commander Greg Bovino is out making the rounds at gas stations in the Twin Cities area, with honking protesters following Jim around.
We pulled up just as he was leaving. “Just follow the honking,” one agent joked to us.

Good morning from the Whipple building, where protesters have blocked one the driveways into the ICE facility. Agents are in the parking lot getting ready for the day as protesters yell “ICE out now” and “murderers” at them.

Normal people don’t think it’s ok to execute someone bc their kids dad is dead btw.
Jesse Watters highlights that Renee Nicole Good, the woman killed by ICE, had "pronouns in her bio" and "leaves behind a lesbian partner and a child from a previous marriage"

Never mind that this isn’t the definition of doxing in the first place, but you can’t dox a federal employee. If you’re a public servant, your identity isn’t “hidden.” It’s on public records. People can access those public records.

My only contribution to the discourse is that more writers need to be willing to join their photographers in getting gassed and shot at by federal police.
