Episode notes
Direct-Action Tactics To Thwart ICE
- Minnesota Ice Watch promoted direct-action tactics that insert activists into law enforcement operations to obstruct ICE.
- Those tactics include blocking vehicles, allowing suspects into civilian cars, and live-reporting officer locations on social media.
Confrontations Raise Lethal Risk
- Law enforcement repeatedly warned that physically boxing in agents or trying to 'de-arrest' detainees is illegal and dangerous.
- Officials say such confrontations can make agents reasonably believe they face ambush and justify use of force.
States Challenge Federal Immigration Surges
- Illinois and Minnesota sued DHS claiming federal surges interfere with state sovereignty and local policies protecting immigrants.
- Plaintiffs seek orders barring certain civil immigration enforcement and call the surges a violation of the Tenth Amendment.
