‼️‼️‼️EMERGENCY ALERT — LIVES ARE AT RISK RIGHT NOW‼️‼️‼️

This morning, federal immigration enforcement agents shot and killed a man in Minneapolis. This is not an isolated incident. This is the escalation of a federal operation that is turning our city into a war zone and putting community members, legal observers, and protectors directly in the line of fire.

Our people are on the streets right now—documenting, observing, de-escalating, and protecting one another as ICE continues aggressive and violent actions. They are facing extreme cold, chemical agents, physical force, and lethal weapons.

We are urgently supplying everyone standing up to ICE with protective gear and survival supplies. We need immediate community support.
