Some activists came from outside Minneapolis, Minnesota, to devote their days to tailing immigration agents around the city, according to a post by the anarchist group CrimethInc.
The anonymous Wednesday article gave a group’s second-person account of leaving a house at 5 a.m. to follow Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) in a car. The activists joined a call within a 1000-person Signal chat dedicated to local “rapid response,” a term activists coined for anti-ICE networks that monitor the agency’s activities around the country, the post said.

WATCH: Concerns from the Brooklyn Park, MN police chief prompt a response from Border Patrol commander “We came to Minneapolis after the murder of Renee Good because we wanted to understand what was happening in the city and to support the people who were fighting back,” the CrimethInc post said, referencing the 37-year-old whom an ICE agent fatally shot on Jan. 7 when she drove her car towards him.
“Even as guests, volunteers visiting from out of town, we feel like the whole city has our backs,” the post said.
Rapid response activists in the area re-create their group Signal chats daily, according to the article. The group then narrated one of its alleged encounters with ICE, which involved finding a federal vehicle’s license plate in a database maintained by activists.
“We pull out of the driveway and start our patrol. We hear another voice over the Signal call,” the post reads. “‘This is Stump, I have a suspicious vehicle headed west on Main at the corner of 7th Avenue. Silver Dodge Ram, Texas plates Alpha Kilo Radio 3863, can I get a plate check?”
“‘Yep, that’s confirmed ICE,’ replies a second dispatcher a few seconds later,” the article said.
In a section describing possible next steps, the post suggests that rapid response networks should take more action against businesses that supposedly collaborate with ICE, including obstructing airport traffic.
“Every day, deportation flights leave from the Minneapolis-St. Paul Airport to other airports across the country,” the unnamed group wrote. “Yet airport blockades have yet to emerge.”
