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.”

Participants discuss organizing a movement to oppose deportations, raids, and detention, inspired by Ventura County's BC Defensa, which has built a 500-strong volunteer network and a six-hour stand-off with ICE at Glass House Farms that prevented many detentions. They emphasize the need for a long-term, multi-tactic strategy and acknowledge that agency resources and partnerships with HPD/ICE under 287(g) expansion pose challenges. They advise on legal rights in Texas, including the automobile exclusion and the need for warrants, and caution against obstructing justice. They report 150 volunteers currently and plan to grow to 500. In Houston, Houston LEADS coordinates a scout program and a rapid-response group to document sightings, provide legal information, and connect with volunteer lawyers. The goal is to mobilize to slow or stop ICE activity in neighborhoods, with ongoing discussions about direct action and risk management.

Federal agents shut down an illegal cannabis farm in LA staffed by migrants, leading to a clash with resistors. Agents deployed tear gas to clear the road, and the standoff lasted for hours, requiring resupply for the federal agents. US Marshals were called in for backup and arrested agitators. One protester was found carrying a gun, and at least three people have been hospitalized. ICE needs more manpower, which a proposed bill would provide.

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.

The transcript follows James O’Keefe’s Okefe Media team in downtown Minneapolis as they document protests, counter-mobilization, and personal risk around a period of political tension. The team’s undercover reporters describe being inside a mob that shouts, curses, and attempts to block or attack vehicles. They recount that “they threw something at me, which hit the back of my bulletproof vest,” and a frozen ice brick was hurled at the SUV. They note the mob’s perception of vehicles like SUVs as “feds,” and emphasize the danger of driving through protests, holding up windows, and the need to roll up windows to avoid escalation. An independent journalist, Cam Higbee, is cited as reporting that trucks and SUVs are “an absolute no go” and that license plates can be tracked. As the day proceeds, the undercover reporters observe and film chants such as “ice out” and “fuck ICE,” with some participants identified as teachers, nurses, and union organizers who express appreciation for the reporters’ presence. The team mentions Peggy Wang, based in Boston and active in the Massachusetts Teachers Association, who works at the Massachusetts College of Art and Design and participates in pro-Palestinian protests; her job is reportedly threatened for engaging in these activities. Peggy Wang’s list of issues includes immigration rights, abolishing ICE, stopping raids and deportations, justice for victims, and getting ICE out of cities like Minneapolis. The footage also references Make the Road New York, described by a protester as an organization with a $30,000,000 budget, connected to an April Veretti, president of the SEIU (Service Employees International Union). The team’s analysis of funding shows Make the Road New York as a registered 501(c)(3) with Form 990s and substantial grant income, including “they received $16,000,000 in grants.” Agitators and protesters are shown on top of cars, breaking parts of vehicles, and a tense dynamic emerges with claims that there are no “blood” or “MAGA” people present. The cold weather hampers equipment, with cameras freezing and water turning into a weapon within seconds, and tear gas affecting the undercover reporters when they approach a nearby apartment complex lobby where agitators are wiping tear gas from their faces. A key moment comes on January 24, when a shooting occurs a few miles away, and the mayor’s demand to choose sides intensifies tensions: “Our streets. Our streets. No justice. No peace.” The reporters describe mob behavior that seems to outpace law enforcement, noting that Minneapolis police stood down and implying that accountability is lacking in the absence of constant oversight. They document being followed and harassed, with the agitators showing disdain for press that is not aligned with their beliefs, and the discovery that identifying as press can lead to hostility or threats. In a post-event segment, the team travels to another hotel to avoid spotters, reports of being tailed persist, and a burner-number threat claims: “you have one hour to leave or you’re dead.” The closing reflections address broader themes: self-preservation versus accountability, the need for consequences to ensure justice, and the claim that “justice only happens when they are being watched.” The piece ends with James O’Keefe pivoting to a promotional segment for gold investment, touting rising gold and silver prices and offering a free gold bar with purchases, branding it as a call to protect freedom and retirement, ending with financial advisory caution. Key individuals mentioned by name: Peggy Wang; April Veretti; Make the Road New York; SEIU; Cam Higbee (indirectly cited as corroborating signal chats).

"It's been ninety days of protest at the ICE facility in Portland where tensions are high, neighborhoods resemble war zones, and the line between order and chaos is razor thin." "We've had multiple assaults on federal officers ever since early June." "Our mission here is to exactly that is to protect the federal facility, protect the employees, protect visitors." "We've had since June, every single night, we've had protesters." "They are twelve hour shifts, and but we're twenty four seven." "The guillotine was abandoned property from Monday night. It was rolled out as part of the protest, and then after the crowd left, it was left in the middle of the street. So we removed it and and brought it in until the rightful owner comes to claim it." "We would love for people to join our agency." "this story is far from over."

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.

Speaker 0 describes ongoing activity in Minneapolis involving collecting information on ICE whereabouts and telegraphing it to protesters, urging people to come and back them up, including outside a donut shop. The second screen is shown with details: an incident outside Glam Doll Donuts at the Black Forest Inn parking lot on Nicolette Avenue where Alex Preti attempted to film the Border Patrol arrest that was taking place and ended up dead. He notes a call for black backup at the Black Forest Inn parking lot. Observers urgently requested a Glam Doll Donuts, the location where the “Pretty incident” occurred. An observer had been shot by ICE, with unknown condition, and EMTs were present. The speaker emphasizes that people are being urged to actively get out there, and warns that if someone protests or interferes with an ongoing law enforcement operation, there can be horrible consequences. Speaker 1 responds by saying that there should always be decrying of the loss of human life and that they do not want situations like the ones seen in Minneapolis. He asserts that all the blame is being directed at federal law enforcement officers carrying out their legal duties, while part of the responsibility lies with groups that are conspiring to obstruct federal law enforcement, which he characterizes as a crime. He contends they are contributing to the rise in violence in Minneapolis, and asserts that the obstruction of federal law enforcement is illegal. He argues that the Trump administration should not pull back and should not allow a message to be sent that such conspiring, use of funds, and obstruction of federal law enforcement can succeed, because that would undermine federal law enforcement throughout the country.

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.

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.

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.

"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.

Council President Elliot Payne: I'm on Lowry in Central. We just heard that two legal observers were arrested today. We are seeing increased ICE activity in the neighborhood, and we're asking all of our community members to show up for each other in this moment. State Senator Doran Clark: Here at Central and Lowry, we need you. This is now what we do. We stand up. We let our neighbors know that we are here. We are saying no, and we need to be visible and out. So if you're wondering what to do, get out, go for walks, make sure you are wearing a whistle. Elliot's got one. I'm gonna pick mine up now too, and we're gonna do the work. Council President Elliot Payne: (no further content beyond the whistle reference) Note: Promotional content removed.

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.

Federal agents shut down an illegal cannabis farm in LA staffed by migrants, leading to a clash with resistors. Agents deployed tear gas to clear the road, and the standoff lasted for hours, requiring resupply for the federal agents. US Marshals were called in for backup and arrested agitators. One protester was found carrying a gun, and at least three people have been hospitalized. ICE needs more manpower, which a proposed bill would provide.

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.
