Yesterday I was on a call at Memorial City Mall about a report of six ICE agents. "That's where we think the real opportunity is to get organized because our enemy is really organized... Every day, they're allocating new money in some sneaky way to ICE agents or to the police." The goal: "a long term movement that fights back against deportations, raids, detention, and all other forms of immigrant immigration related terror." They’re inspired by BC Defensa/Ventura County Defensa, which built a volunteer network of "500 engaged active volunteers" and, "a month ago," had a six‑hour standoff with ICE at Glass House Farms, "prevented a lot of detention and a lot of detainment." They stress rights education and a "volunteer legal observer" approach, plan to recruit via a QR code, and aspire to mimic Ventura County. In Houston, there are about "150" volunteers; they aim for "500" to effect change. Houston LEADS runs a scout program for ICE sightings, with group chats, observers, and lawyers in the group.

Speaker 0 describes immediate immigration enforcement activity in their neighborhood, noting: “It's not even noon, and ICE has already kidnapped five of my neighbors.” They add that they responded to an incident where they believe “a whole family was taken with children.” The speaker emphasizes the scale of federal presence, asserting, “There are more federal agents in Minnesota than we have of the Saint Paul and Minneapolis police combined.” Community response is highlighted as neighbors take action in support of those affected. They report neighbors “standing in front of known targeted businesses, helping escort workers home.” To address ongoing disruption to everyday life, the speaker announces the launch of a mutual aid effort: “Today, I'm kicking off one of our first mutual aid grocery runs in my neighborhood.” The aim is to assist, since workers “have been pulled over time and time again, attempting to make deliveries to families that are too afraid to even go grocery shopping.” The speaker also points to growing concerns about enforcement activity in public spaces. They describe “troubling trends where HSI and ICE agents are rolling into, city owned parking lots like our libraries rec centers and our SPPD parking lots.” In response to these incidents, they urge residents to take action by reporting what they see: “If you see this, please record it to the best of your ability and submit to the Ward 5 office.” They promise practical guidance for reporting by noting, “I'll drop the email in the comment below.”

The PSL is building a mass volunteer network that we want all of you to be a part of. Because as I said, no politician is coming to save us. We have to save ourselves. There are people going around with little half sheet pamphlets that have a QR code that you can scan to join a mass volunteer network. In Ventura County, California, our friends have built a volunteer network of 500 active and engaged volunteers that chase ice out of their neighborhoods, and we wanna do the same. In Rhode Island. Thank you. In Rhode Island. You may not expect it, but every day, hundreds of volunteers chase ICE out of their communities and directly prevent deportations and detainment. We wanna build that here in Houston. And we wanna build it with all of you here as individuals, and we wanna build it with all of the organizations that are here.

Yesterday I was on a call at Memorial City Mall about a report of six ICE agents. "That's where we think the real opportunity is to get organized because our enemy is really organized. They've got all of the media at their fingertips. They've got billions of dollars of our money to hire police and ICE agents." The goal: "a long term movement that fights back against deportations, raids, detention, and all other forms of immigrant immigration related terror." They admire BC Defensa or Ventura County Defensa, whose volunteer network of "500 engaged active volunteers" helped during a six hour standoff with ICE outside Glass House Farms, preventing "a lot of detention." Rights: in Texas, "the automobile exclusion" and "you can say, I'm not going refuse that. You need a warrant." Current Houston effort has "about 150" volunteers, aiming for 500, using a "volunteer legal observer" approach; "There’s a QR code that you can scan to join a mass volunteer network." Houston LEADS runs a "scout program" and a "response team" with lawyers in the group.

At the Good Trouble Lives On protest at Houston City Hall, Taylor Crawford of Houston Leads describes a coalition focusing on social justice. They created a 'scout program that is like a call to action and a response team' to document incidents, take notes, gather names of ICE officers, detainees, and witnesses, and provide legal information. The group includes lawyers and aims to break down barriers. The scouts program has had 'over a 100 sign ups,' enabling faster responses to incidents. They aim to document ICE raids: 'take notes, take pictures, get down the names of ICE officers, ... detainees, also witnesses.' They help with family preparedness plans and distribute 'know your rights cards' to inform what to do if questioned by ICE, stressing: 'remain silent' and 'do not answer anything without a lawyer present.' Final message: 'we're all human beings' and to protect the community.

The transcript captures a tense moment at a Bergen Lyon Avenue location near a White Castle, where Speaker 1 reports that ICE came by and grabbed people, stating, “ICE came by and grabbed people. They are targeting the bus stops. Again, they are targeting the bus stops.” Speaker 0 responds with anger, asking, “What are you doing?” and labeling the action as terrorism, saying, “You fucking terrorists. You’re a fucking terrorist.” The speakers describe the scene as individuals were taken from the area, emphasizing that the raids are focused on bus stops and the surrounding vicinity, including Fairview Avenue, with Speaker 1 asking, “How many other bus stops? How many other locations?” They urge vigilance for others, noting that “any moment a vehicle like this can't see into the window” due to tinted windows, warning that law enforcement came into the location and “grabbed people.” Speaker 1 reiterates the need to “be on point” and to “be aware of what you're doing,” urging people to stay attentive as they go about their day. Throughout, there is a sense of fear and urgency, with the speakers repeatedly calling attention to the raids and the targeting of public transit access points like bus stops. Additional exchanges include Speaker 0 directing, “Hey. Hey. No. No. No. You're not gonna scare me,” and Speaker 1 insisting, “Don't touch her. Don't touch her. Don’t touch her.” The overall message is a warning to community members about ICE activity at specific transit hubs and the potential for people to be detained, paired with strong emotional reactions to the perceived aggression and disruption.

Homeland Security Investigations tip line. A Houston journalist says he went undercover at a meeting for the party for socialist liberation, which is partnering with Houston Leads, "a coalition of a whole bunch of far left wing NGOs," and "building a mass volunteer network to confront ICE operations in Houston with the stated goal of, chasing ICE agents out of neighborhoods in Houston." He says a video is on X under "Joseph Tremor" with about 100,000 views, and he has tagged local politicians and agencies. He claims they are modeling their actions in Houston after Ventura, California, at a marijuana farm where "their sister or friend organization PSL over there confronted ICE agents and prevented illegal aliens from being, arrested in this pot farm where you guys found undocumented alien children working there." The journalist says the content is alarming and not 100% sure of legality but concerning. A story will publish tomorrow; he contacted the tip line; agent ID 2064.

A customs and border patrol helicopter landed in the middle of a farm where testers were protesting. The helicopter made a run to Van Nuys Airport for cases of water. A team of ICE agents are at the farm, along with other agents, National Guard, and police guarding Laguna Road. The enforcement action has been ongoing for four hours, and it appears law enforcement did not plan to stay this long.

Homeless shelters in DC are overwhelmed due to an influx of migrants being bused in from Texas and Arizona. Many of these migrants are asylum seekers heading to other destinations, not DC. Activists in Texas, like Hernando Arce, are organizing protests to raise awareness about the situation, particularly in San Antonio, where a new processing center has opened. They are calling for a moratorium on immigration, the outlawing of sanctuary cities, and restrictions on NGOs funding immigration-related services. The discussion highlights concerns about the impact of unchecked immigration on local communities and the financial burden on taxpayers. Activists emphasize the need for community awareness and action to address these issues.

We have lawyers in all 50 states collaborating with civil rights organizations, governors, and mayors to combat right-wing extremism. Governors like Maura Healey of Massachusetts and Gavin Newsom of California are already taking a stand, similar to actions during the first Trump administration. Local leaders are uniting to resist federal government attacks on their communities, focusing on protecting not just immigrants but also dissidents and protesters targeted by Trump. We are actively working with these officials to create a protective barrier around our communities.

When organizing, identify the heart of your community, a place where people naturally gather, and consider if it should be the center of resistance. Analyze the area with fresh eyes, noting escape routes, protective cover, and scouting locations. Organize neighborhoods as a "strike pull" by building relationships and mobilizing residents to converge on key days. Focus on quickly increasing numbers to attract more participants. Shutdown DC trained 3,000 people in affinity groups with a shared vision, making it easy to integrate newcomers. Identify core people, establish a framework, and train them to carry the vision. Create structures for new participants to quickly integrate through orientations, trainings, or forming flying squads of 50-100 people to move to needed locations. Prepare for self-protection against chemical weapons, projectiles, batons, and horses using items like padded backpacks and helmets. These are self-protective measures, not indicators of militancy.

We have every obligation to defend our people, community, and families by any means necessary. While not wanting to be violent, we are not nonviolent; we believe in self-defense. If someone comes at me or my family, I will do everything in my power, legal or not, to defend them. There are over 200 people detained in a dungeon in the basement, with no bathrooms, showers, enough food or water, and children are also being held there. This is a human rights violation. We have to liberate those people and fight for them. They are being held around the corner, and we are going to move down there so they can hear and see us and know they are not alone.

Community defense works, and resistance has slowed them down before. They are changing tactics because they know how quickly we mobilize. If they are escalating their tactics, then so are we. When they show up, we gotta show up even stronger.

Immigration officers appeared in Alhambra, prompting a response from local activists who were prepared for this. The Alhambra police were aware of a multi-agency task force, after receiving a call from the FBI. Community activists mobilized after spotting ICE agents gathering in a Target parking lot. Community patrols confronted the agents at two locations, using megaphones to alert the community. Agents retreated without making any arrests after they were recorded and confronted. ICE stated that the operation was not a raid or sweep, but based on intelligence leads, and that they do not target non-citizens indiscriminately. Activists claim ICE targets brown people, and they are committed to continuing their actions. Union del Barrio asserts their actions are legal, while ICE has not commented on the group's activities. Alhambra is a sanctuary city, but officials were unavailable for comment.

"Yesterday literally yesterday, I was on a call at Memorial City Mall because there were a report of six ICE agents." "That's where we think the real opportunity is to get organized because our enemy is really organized." "We wanna build a long term movement that fights back against deportations, raids, detention, and all other forms of immigrant immigration related terror." "'a six hour standoff with ICE outside of a farm, a cannabis farm in Ventura County called Glass House Farms'." "'they prevented a lot of detention.'" "'What you say is that you're a volunteer legal observer.'" "'There are four in total. There's one up north, one kind of south, and then two downtown.'" "'The goal is to eventually have enough numbers to where we can really take direct action and stop them.'" "'There are about 150.'"

A notification system alerts people to avoid areas due to potential ICE raids, which is claimed to be a violation of federal law (Title 8, US Code 1374) and an obstruction of justice. One speaker insists that individuals involved in creating and funding these alert systems should be arrested immediately. They believe this activity thwarts the will of the American people and is anti-democratic, and must be stopped. They intend to contact people to investigate the NGOs and their support.

Trump 2.0 presents new challenges, but people are more aware of their rights than ever. We will create strong communities as a form of resistance. Imagine a guardian in her home without a keyhole but with a window; the door is locked, and no one inside has a deportation order. It's crucial to understand that there will never be enough lawyers to ensure our safety. Therefore, these training sessions are essential for building muscle memory, similar to how children practice fire drills. We want to instill a reflexive response, so when the time comes, individuals can act without hesitation.

"We've been able to, like, have, injunctions that, like, stop, you know, deportation flights and other types of things." "Qian Bahad admitted their caucus has secured injunctions that literally halt deportation flights while also stating that people need to pressure their local governments to not cooperate with the feds." "Last month, their undercover cameras caught Santiago Mouquet, a director at the Vera Institute, admitting the group tracks ICE movements and pushes that information out so illegal immigrants can dodge enforcement." "He also bragged about major donors, Jeff Bezos, Bill Gates, and others." "The Vera Institute isn’t just help illegal immigrants evade ICE. They funnel money into radical causes like Black Lives Matter." "A widespread coordinated effort is currently happening right now to undermine federal law enforcement, slow down the deportation efforts."

The speakers describe a scene where ICE agent vehicles on the street were surrounded by protesters, forcing them to leave their cars. One ICE vehicle was broken into, and the first speaker presents a stash of documents found inside, including lists labeled FBI Operation info with full names, phone numbers, emails, maps showing where immigrants are held, and hotel names. There are also judge names and “operational posture” papers detailing how protesters should be handled, as well as information on transports of immigration targets and guidance on how to enter buildings and conduct bookings. A piece of hotel booking information belonging to the raid’s vehicle owner is shown, indicating people were loading from Wisconsin and moving toward Minneapolis; one hotel detail was torn up. The second speaker adds: information about the detention center, specifically Sherborn County Detention Center address information. The first speaker reiterates that these are “operation paperwork” that include data on FD936 and a request for National DNA database entry, showing how they’re entering detainees into the database. This paperwork was taken from an ICE vehicle left behind after the initial shooting. They discuss a USMS booking information form, which contains data they should be gathering and booking details, including arrest data, date, housing, property, and NCIC/NCIS references. The first speaker identifies a hotel booking sheet for an ICE officer named John Steimle (presented as “John s t e I m l e”), noting a Wisconsin hotel—the Baymont by Wyndham in Baldwin—where ICE agents were staying prior to transport into Minneapolis, including the hotel address and room number. Evidence of FBI involvement is highlighted through the discovery of FBI badges and other items taken from the ICE vehicle. The speakers mention challenge coins used by police officers, describing them as items officers share among themselves, often featuring jokes and a skull motif. They point to a variety of coins labeled with agencies (FBI, HSI, ATF, IRS) and imagery of vultures on a rock with a skull on the front or back, indicating the presence of these ceremonial tokens among the officers involved. Throughout, the overall emphasis is on the documents and physical items found in the ICE vehicle that was left behind, including names, contact details, hotel arrangements, detention and booking forms, and symbolic police memorabilia.

The speaker urges community members to actively protest in the streets against ICE actions. They advocate using their influence to physically obstruct ICE from detaining individuals in their neighborhoods whenever they can.

Families united against ICE and Trump. Together as a Raza community, we can make a difference. Initially, I feared no one would show up, but the turnout has grown. It’s important to fight with courage for our freedom and to learn how to be effective social advocates.

We're reporting on anti-ICE activists in California who are actively obstructing immigration enforcement. Some activists are using bullhorns and sirens to warn migrants of ICE presence, advising them of their rights not to speak or open doors without a warrant. These activists claim to be working with dozens of organizations across the LA area. Separately, flyers revealing the identities of ICE agents have surfaced, causing concern. This doxxing puts agents at risk. As someone who has experienced similar threats, I can say that these agents don't deserve this treatment. They are working to make their community safer by focusing on criminal threats and national security.
