Yeah, so essentially what we have here in Minneapolis is we've developed this extremely dense network of community observers and rapid responders to ICE.
And the reason this has happened is because, especially in the early days, and after Rene Good was shot, around when that happened, the way ICE and Border Patrol have conducted themselves here in Minneapolis is hard to even describe to people who weren't here.
You would go around the neighborhood and you would see armed masked men

All the neighborhoods have signal chats that are rapid response signal chats, sort of neighborhood-specific.
Suspected ICE vehicles are reported into there.
