ICE Preparedness & Response
ICE has terrorized the Twin Cities, abducting our neighbors, taking workers from their jobs, and bringing violence to our communities. We have stood together in solidarity to show them we will not let them intimidate us into silence or inaction. Want to get involved? Here are some resources I’m aware of!
