Community volunteers across parts of Minnesota have organised neighbourhood patrols and rapid-response networks, saying they are stepping in to protect one another as US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) operations continue.
00:00Community volunteers across parts of Minnesota have organized neighborhood patrols and rapid response networks to look out for one another as U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement operations continue.
00:14Last Sunday, the ICE agents arrested a man in St. Paul as the community onlookers shouted for them to leave.
00:21The observers filmed with their handphones honked their vehicles and blew whistles.
00:26In Minneapolis, volunteers take turns monitoring their areas for federal immigration vehicles and alerting residents in real time.
00:34You guys are . You are like .
00:38Just driving around my neighborhood, kind of picking an area to just keep an eye on, looking out for any
00:50ICE or Customs and Border Patrol vehicles that might be passing through the neighborhood or any ICE agents or Border Patrol agents that are getting out of their cars.
01:05We know that when there's more people around, federal agents are less likely to escalate to violence.
01:14Or if there's more people that are filming them, they're less likely to violate constitutional rights.
01:21Or at least that's the hope, right?
01:26The community members coordinate through encrypted messaging apps to share live updates when immigration agents are spotted nearby and volunteers quickly alert others about agents' locations and movements.
01:38They say their presence is meant to reduce tensions and ensure accountability.
01:42The January 7th killing of Minneapolis resident Renee Good by a federal agent has intensified community efforts and underscored the urgency of their patrols.
01:53She was fatally shot during an ICE enforcement operation, where the government said was a result of agitation and threats to the ICE agents.
02:01And the case has sparked protests and scrutiny of federal actions.
