Useful tips to alert others of fascist harassment, making people disappear

I am Minneapolis adjacent. When the cops murdered George Floyd, activists* in the area set up a system to respond to heinous cop and shitty white guy behavior.

Present day 2025, with the gestapo antics of ICE against immigrants** in Nazi America, the activists suggested using the following approach to alert decent humans to the horrible behavior of fascists in America.

ALERTA

Activity: Describe what's going on (with ICE, with the white supremacists)


Location: Be precise with street name, house #, Block, street intersection, business name.

Equipment: What vehicles are present. Are there weapons?

Response Requested: What do you want the people you are alerting to do? Come watch the cops. Film the SOBs.

Time and Date: Be specific and stamp with time and date. Tracks up-to-the-minute activity

Appearance: What uniforms are the proud boys wearing, how many of the klan are there. Who are they interrogating, messing with.

**First they came for the immigrants. Who they coming for next?

ON EDIT: They're coming for us all. https://www.democraticunderground.com/10143379974

Mayor Ras Baraka said in a statement that Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents detained multiple people, including United States citizens, a U.S. military veteran and undocumented individuals. According to Baraka, the agents did not produce a warrant.

Good info.

We need some kind of "Minuteman" corps, for rapid response to these outrages. There WILL be more.

Don't open your door. Tell the goons to slide the warrant under the door.
#1: Demand to see a signed federal warrant if they show up at your door.
Do not open the door to ICE agents unless they have a warrant. Do not talk to them. If they ask about your neighbors, say that you keep to yourself and don’t know much about them.


#3: No matter where you see them, ask why they are there.
This serves three purposes. First, they need to have a legitimate reason as to they are at your door, on your bus, on your trains, or stopping your car. If they don’t have a warrant and a legit reason, they shouldn’t be there.
