This is why it's also important to protest outside the federal buildings they occupy. When you protest outside a DHS building, they have to defend that building. That means fewer agents are available to terrorize communities.
They don't have capacity to terrorize more than 2-3 cities at a time.
Which means they rotate teams to new cities without relief.
Which means consistent resistance by fresh activists in each new city will break them over time.
Which means if you're city's not occupied, rest up and get ready.

"The Department of Homeland Security plans to pause operations in Chicago — where Gregory Bovino, a Border Patrol official, has led controversial arrest efforts — to support the immigration enforcement operation in Minnesota."

This is why governors *NEED* to have their police, backed by the national guard, *immediately* take into custody all ICE personnel involved when a murder or attempted murder occurs.
To do otherwise at this point is willful negligence.

Absolutely horrific details about an ICE shooting in Minneapolis.
A witness says a woman was trying to drive away from an ICE operation and the ICE agent "reached across the hood of the car and shot her in the face like three, four times."
Bovino was there.

Without increasing funding or making cuts, the county can’t afford HCMC and its worsening financial problems. It also can’t afford to lose the urban medical center and its unmatched expertise in areas such as wound and burn care.
Can HCMC survive — and could Minnesota survive without it?
Closure of taxpayer-supported HCMC “ain’t happening,” Hennepin County says, but changes are needed to stem financial losses.
