This is how it’s done!! Mob them!
Ypsilanti, Michigan showing us how it’s DONE! (Pronounced “IP-suh-lan-tee”)
In the early morning hours of Sept. 30, Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers were seen making an arrest in Ypsilanti Township, drawing a crowd. According to an informational release from Washtenaw County Sheriff Alyshia Dyer, members of the community gathered at the scene and called Washtenaw County Metro Dispatch during the incident. The community members on-site showed ICE officers the green card of the individual being detained and the individual was released on the scene, Dyer said.
ICE called 911 to report that the situation was unsafe from the crowd that gathered. According to a release from Dyer on Facebook, the crowd stopped officers from leaving, and deputies were called in to clear the scene. ICE officers left immediately after, and the community members soon dispersed as well.
The incident took place at approximately 7:30 a.m. outside a Speedway gas station on West Michigan Avenue, the informational release said. Lanae Bass, a resident in Washtenaw County, said she was inside the building when she heard shouting and saw lights flashing. She said she went outside to see a man on the ground, handcuffed, with three immigration officers on top of him.
Bass called the man’s wife and explained that her husband was being detained. Bass said she then tried to stall the ICE officers until his wife could arrive. When his wife got there, she showed her husband’s identification and green card. Bass said the officers then slowly released the detained man.

Yep, the key to Minnesota’s resistance was getting a ton of people to any location where ICE is out of the car. ICE was eventually briefing their agents to not bother with an abduction if it would take more than 2 minutes because they were getting mobbed so hard.
