⭕ #ÉTATS‑UNIS « Il y a malheureusement des milliers d’interventions policières chaque année où des personnes sont blessées par balle. Le département des droits civiques du ministère de la Justice n’enquête pas sur chacune de ces fusillades » #Todd_Blanche à propos de la manifestante #Renee #Good.

Following the invasion of 3000 ICE officers,
everyday Minnesotans are pouring into #rapid #response networks and scouring their neighborhoods
—even in 20-degree weather before the sun has come up.

“I’m being tailed by a car I think is ICE,
I can make out two masked individuals through the tinted windshield,” someone says.

The call goes quiet for a few seconds.
“I’m being pulled over.”

Dispatch chimes in:
“Stay unmuted,
turn down your volume so they don’t hear the call,
everyone else please stay on mute.”

We hear banging,
then something shatters.

“ICE just smashed their window,”
our driver explains calmly,
decelerating ahead of a red light.

We are shocked,
but this is a regular occurrence.

Everyone on the call keeps their cool.

We have heard stories from rapid responders about ICE tailing them,
boxing them in,
smashing their car windows,
pepper-spraying them,
holding them at gun point,
shooting out their tires,
detaining them.

Some responders have been taken to the regional ICE headquarters,
the #Whipple building.

Others have been driven to the other side of the city
and thrown out of the vehicle, ❄️alone in the cold.

Their cars have been left running in the road.

The responders tell us all these stories in passing,
quickly returning focus to the work that is to be done.

Of course, ICE has done worse than this, too.

ICE agent Jonathan Ross shot and killed #Renee #Good as she was trying to drive away.

A week later, as ICE agents were pursuing someone,
they shot live ammunition at a house with a family in it, hitting #Julio #Sosa-#Celis in the leg.

But when you ask patrollers what they want people to know about what’s happening in their city, they barely mention the broken windows and bruises.

They describe the feeling of connection and solidarity filling the streets.

They make ❤️hearts with their hands from car to car, they blow kisses.

They make dinners for one another,
they drop off groceries for undocumented families that have been locked inside their homes for weeks.

They tell us about how, when a skirmish broke out on a busy road,
an entire café full of people stood up as one,
dropping what they were doing to run towards the sound.

We hear again and again about their deep love for the community in the Twin Cities and for their neighbors.

Every day, people who never imagined themselves fighting ICE are participating in bold combative actions

A New Hampshire Episcopal bishop's stark warning to his clergy is resonating across the nation, drawing fervent praise from some and rebukes from others.

#Bishop #Rob #Hirschfeld was one of several community and faith leaders gathered in Concord, N.H., for a vigil for #Renee #Good just days after she was fatally shot by an Immigration and Customs Enforcement agent in Minneapolis.

Hirschfeld called out the
"cruelty, the injustice and the horror … unleashed in Minneapolis,"
and warned his clergy to prepare for
⭐️ "a new era of martyrdom."

🔥"I've asked them to get their affairs in order to make sure they have their wills written,"
he said,
"because it may be that now is no longer the time for statements,
💥but for us with our bodies to stand between the powers of this world and the most vulnerable."

Hirschfeld's comments quickly went viral.

The Reverend Jason Wells,
a community organizer who regularly prays outside ICE offices, said he and many others took it as a great relief
– and a validation of sorts
– to hear the bishop speaking openly about the mounting anxiety felt by faith leaders around the nation
who've been stepping up their public prayers and protests against ICE,
and getting pelted with #pepper #rounds,
#roughed #up and #arrested.

"People feel like he's giving voice to a feeling in the pit of their stomach about what is going on,"
said Wells.

🔸"It's a relief to hear him naming a concern that I've had on my mind for a while."

The Reverend Betsy Hess of St. Barnabas Episcopal Church in Berlin, N.H. added her voice to the chorus of "amens"
and immediately emailed the bishop to thank him.

Hess believes clergy "need to quit just being polite Episcopalians,
and get out there and do stuff."

But exactly what she would do,
and what level of risk she's willing to take,
is something she's still figuring out.

"It used to be that …
you might go to jail,
and now you might get shot!

So it makes us need to be a lot more brave," she said.

"I hope I would be brave,
but I can't promise that I would be able to.

But definitely, it's time to move beyond
'I won't do anything that has any risk whatsoever.'"

Others, however, took issue with the bishop's words.

"My initial reaction is 'Oh boy, this isn't diffusing tension at all.
This feels like a war cry,"
said the Reverend Tom Gartin

"I didn't sign up to be a martyr," he said.
