We are under a violent siege in Minnesota right now, and I mean that literally. And I need you all to do me a favor.

I need you to stop focusing on just what ICE is doing and how bad it is and start focusing on how they’re doing it.

They’re changing their tactics and strategies rapidly now more than ever and finding ways to blend in, finding ways to operate faster and attempt to outmaneuver us and otherwise be able to use new suppression tactics to bait people out and to be able to basically crush any resistance.

  • The majority of agents are no longer concerned with wearing face masks whatsoever. They’ve traded them out for baseball caps and sunglasses, beanies and sunglasses, beanies with pompoms on the end of them, especially for female presenting agents.
  • They’ve started switching the clothing that they’re wearing from tactical gear to hoodies with canvas or utility jackets over them, puffy jackets. They started wearing colored buffs from North Face, from REI. They switched to wearing blue jeans and khaki.
  • They’re minimalizing the amount of camo that they’re wearing, tactical gear or gray scale like coloration within their clothing.

It’s important to note all these things because they’re trying to blend in with the Midwest, not just prepare for the cold weather, but blend in as all of us.

  • They’re starting to disguise themselves as Uber drivers, maintenance workers, construction workers, student drivers.
  • They’re contracting out with local businesses so that way they can use their vehicles. We’re documenting a report of them starting to use like a vehicle from a local plumbing business that has all the decals and stuff on it of that business. That way it looks as though it isn’t ice at all.
  • They’re using handicap parking passes.
  • They’re starting to load more things on their dashes.
  • They’re using high visibility vests.
  • They’re throwing Gatorade bottles, stuffed animals, whatever they can up on the dash in order to make it look like a civilian vehicle.
  • Even more critical to be aware of, they’re starting to wear orange whistles on them too, blending with the crowd. We know already that they’re in our rapid response chats.

But it looks like they’ve started to infiltrate themselves within places where protests are happening and like responder teams that are out on corners and stuff they could be starting to send us false information but we do know they’re starting to use the information that we’re sending into the chats in order to be able to quickly move to different locations and otherwise continue to play this cat and mouse chase.

As of today i got a report from the local elementary school they’ve identified the fact that ice agents have started sending out emails to families letting them know that they’re willing to go and help with like food services and stuff for those that need it. The school has been directing to parents and kids that they should only go through the school’s social workers, but the fact that ICE is trying to bait people out and use that as a method for being able to abduct them is incredibly concerning.

I need you all to make this go viral. I need you to make sure that every community out there that I see my target knows how they are adapting because they are ingraining themselves in all of our groups, including our rapid response groups already.

They’re trying to infiltrate, they’re trying to instigate, they’re trying to feed us false information. Our best chance of beating them is to outnumber them and outpace them and make sure that every time they adapt, we adapt quicker. This isn’t just an immigration enforcement operation. This is infiltration and preparation for a full scale suppression effort. And you need to start preparing.

    People need to be keeping lists of the local businesses that are contracting with ICE to let them use their vehicles and facilities

    Guerrilla warfare is about being able to present anywhere with any tactics. Creating a “long profile” of uncertain shape/dynamics. One week a hard blockaid, the next week a single cell of activists tracks vehicles to sabotage them in the night…

    …and you should organize into trusted cells, whilst having more public channels for non-sensitive information (or information you want them to have). Know what they know and what they don’t know.

    Know what works and what doesn’t. Contact other protestors you’ve seen have success.

    Trump’s goal is martial law by election time. That’s their long term purpose.

    Yours should be to hold off, and make the regime despised nationally. Gut it out culturally, and find what demoralizes them. What makes them not work, or want to go to work.

    The US Government is trying to Infiltrate American Communities and SCHOOLS for the Sole Purpose of Kidnapping and Murder? GOOD THING the Democratic Opposition is ON TOP of Defunding this Terrorist Organization! Giving ICE MORE Money!

    Start preparing for what? Speak clearly. No more vague generic mob- boss speak, like Trump. Say exactly what the fuck you mean.

      The unspoken understanding is that we’re preparing for war. The way you get people to become violent when violence is necessary is by getting them to do small things, then ramp them up to violence. If we come out and directly say that this is now a war and we’re going to need to kill our oppressors, we’ll get virtually no support, and will lose any sort of sympathy from the general population on the spot, losing any chance to put up a fight against this regime.

      We need to get people actively doing whatever they feel comfortable enough to do in their communities, and then let them come to the conclusion that the next step is necessary on their own - it’s not a choice someone else can make for them. Push too hard and they’ll regress back to the “violence is never the answer” rhetoric that was specifically instilled in them by the system to keep such an uprising from happening.

      I think the preparations will depend on the individual health, financial, family, and their community situations.

      I made Prepping for Federal Government Invasion and Civil Unrest [A Guide] to try to help that. I recommend you write a literal plan down on paper and try to plan for various possible scenarios.

      I also recommend a storage of dry goods, water, and first-aid.

      A way to communicate without power, internet, or phones is also great like with radio or meshtastic.

      Having some form basic personal protection at a minimum is also a good idea. Nonvented Saftey Goggles, gas masks, and guns would be advisable.

      Earth tone colors are more useful for camo than black clothes

      And form bonds within your community.

        Nah, pimp. I’m just sick of all this limp-dick rhetoric everyone keeps spreading and nothing gets done.
