"They are masked, with only their eyes visible, often dressed in civilian clothes, though they wear bulletproof vests and carry weapons. They travel in unmarked cars, but when they get out of them, almost no one doubts who they are: they are agents of Immigration and Customs Enforcement, or ICE, an acronym that has become synonymous with the terror that Donald Trump has unleashed in the United States over the past year as part of an unprecedented persecution of migrants."
"As soon as they spot the officers arriving, activists, volunteers and neighbors honk their horns and whistles to warn of the start of an immigration raid. Some record and confront the agents, demanding they leave their neighborhood. Others block their path with their vehicles. It's a scene that has been repeated in different cities across the country where the U.S. government has launched large-scale operations to detain undocumented immigrants: Los Angeles, Chicago, Minneapolis"
They are masked with only their eyes visible and often wear bulletproof vests while dressed in civilian clothes. They travel in unmarked cars as agents of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), an acronym tied to intensified enforcement under Donald Trump. Activists, volunteers and neighbors honk, whistle, record and sometimes block ICE vehicles to warn and resist immigration raids. In Minneapolis a confrontation resulted in the death of 37-year-old U.S. citizen Renee Nicole Good, a poet and mother of three, who was shot by an ICE agent while inside her SUV. Witness videos show two agents ordered her out and tried the driver's door; a third officer filmed, circled the vehicle and fired through the windshield after she backed up and turned right.
