| Saying this as someone in Minneapolis: make sure you have your neighbors’ contact information; reach out to the PTO at your school to see if they have a plan; think about what help people will need in your area. The local organizing is what is driving resistance here. |

Can we get back on track to local ICE issues on this thread?

I agree. And the lens we look through MUST be the Constitution. All police across the nation need to remember they didn't swear their oath to a profession. They swore their oath to the Constitution. |
| I live in Frederick County, where in a row of 10 townhomes, only one house is owned by native born Americans. Everyone else is an immigrant, myself included. I do not feel safe. |
Do get involved. They are abducting people and demanding papers. Pay attention. |

Arlington Co board members tell people to call 911 if they see ICE. Isn’t that a misuse of resources?

That’s actually a great idea. Those goons need police to keep them from innocent people. We need protection from ice, and that’s the police’s job. |
I think pp is saying they don’t feel safe because ice will target their neighborhood and do a shakedown. If you see ice, call 911. |
You're not an American. You're a traitor and a fascist. Go to Russia. |
You're detached from reality if you think local police will interfere with federal law enforcement. At best, they'll stand idly by at the direction of their political overlords, it's more likely they'll ignore calls for service based on someone complaining that federal immigration is being enforced by federal authorities. |
Great. We can fire them then. They can go elsewhere and earn six figures with full benefits and pension. Might have to uproot their families and move far, far away though. |
You want to fire them for refusing to interfere with federal law enforcement? Are you nuts? |
So is your point that you want ICE knocking on everyone’s door, including yours? Is your point that you feel safer around native born Americans? Can you clarify? |
My point is (and I'm fairly certain that you already know) that my neighborhood is likely to see a lot of ICE presence considering is overwhelmingly immigrant. As an immigrant myself, I am worried because these goons are not following the law or the protocols. They have inadequate training and are not law enforcement in any real sense of the word. While I have been a US citizen for a long time now, I don't know if they'll even harass me, much less my neighbors who may not be citizens. Going door to door is exactly what they have done in MN and I have no reason to believe that they will not do the same in other places. They are trying to build a huge detention center in Hagerstown which is just down the road from me. Does that make it clearer to you? |
NP. If they come to Frederick, and you have brown skin, or generally do not look like a Caucasian America, they will harass you. The Minneapolis police have reports from their own officers being harassed and asked for their papers when they are off duty. |
