ICE is starting to conduct raids in my town, does anyone have ideas or resources about community defense? (hexbear.net)

I want to try to compile resources about different community mobilization tactics for when ICE is conducting raids, specifically for all of the tenants/neighbors in the vicinity. I have heard of the whistle thing which I think is a smart piece of a puzzle but I want to try to help people build more cohesive acute support networks

oh that does suck! hopefully you're able to get involved.

I've also seen some body/car blocking but it's very spontaneous and theres been concerns about potentially getting people injured in those interactions as ice cars have already straight up driven through people forming a chain

I'm honestly curious what could be done as well, because around here they started by staking out courthouses and now they've moved on to raiding things like big box stores and car washes

Same here. Started at the hearings office and they have had one or two raids...Now it seems that it's really starting to escalate and get ugly here.
