And I went on some of these food runs.

I saw these people.

They are...

at home, their cars are covered with snow because they haven't taken them out because they're just sitting at home waiting for the invasion to be over.

Thank you so much for having me.

I think it's the only option that they have because the federal government has sidelined or erased the internal office at DHS that used to be responsible for civil liberties and making sure that people didn't cross the line.

And the only thing that people can do is

is record them being off the leash and then let the rest of the world know what's happening so that they can respond politically.

What's extraordinary about this whole operation in Minnesota is that it's broad, it's localized, it's organized, it's effective.

There's been some literature about this, and one of the things that makes nonviolence so effective is that more people can participate.

If you are engaged in a violent campaign, that limits the amount of people who can participate.

But when you look at the people who are on the ground in Minneapolis who are

you know, bringing food or patrolling or observing or going to protests.

You know, it's people from all walks of life.

It's moms, it's dads, it's all kinds of people.

They're just normal, regular people who don't like the federal government coming in and trying to kidnap their neighbors.

You know, I think what's so impressive about this is that it's a kind of civic resistance that is designed to deal with the specific conditions that are being imposed on them by the federal government.

And what are some of the tactics they're using in response to ICE in their communities?

You know, what you have in Minneapolis is a lot of people have been, you know, going to legal trainings where they explain, you know, where the lines are, you know, that recording law enforcement is a First Amendment right.

They're allowed to do it and how to do it safely.
