And this is something that my organization feels very strongly about, is that we have to protect civic public spaces in order to protect elections.

Because if you cannot protect

be out in the streets, not only protesting ICE, but monitoring and recording what these federal agents are doing.

Recording is probably the most important act of resistance that we have right now, because as you know, if there weren't people in the streets of Minnesota, we would not have known how Renee Goode was killed.

We would not have known how Alex Preddy would kill, because Kristi Noem would have got up before those cameras and been believed by too many people when she said that they were domestic terrorists.

So we know this is the game plan, but this whole data collection that DHS appears to be doing as a matter of policy is something that has to be challenged extremely hard.

You know, I think a lot of people are worried about the surveillance resources that are being unfurled by the government because we've given this agency so much money.

There's so much they can do with, you know, the AI stuff that's happening right now.

You see the big dispute that the Department of

war is having with Claude.

And so this is a huge frontier.

And so we're really laser focused on it.

I know a lot of other people are, but if we can't protect those public spaces, our ground to stand and run a free election becomes dramatically winnowed.

And so you cannot give an inch on this.

Yeah, this is something that appears to be a policy.

I mean, the guy was testifying in front of it.

And so there was a lot of concern about how DHS was rushing these agents to the streets with not enough training.

Not only are they not receiving enough training, they're receiving unconstitutional training.

It seems like.

And this is happening all over the place.
