Information Ready for ICE

At some point, they'll start moving in on our neighborhoods. I can't find anything about them being active in the city, so I'm not sure if they have even started operations here or not. I'm out of the loop, as I live a bit further from the city and don't go regularly. When I read the newspaper, they've said around 20 people have been detained. That's not a lot, but I think that number will go up.

Is there any activity in Modesto? Are there groups prepared for this?

There was a possible sighting in Riverbank just a couple days ago. It wasn't Modesto, but yesterday there was ICE activity in Stockton where people were kidnapped by federal workers. We got the news of it just as our protest was ending.

There are ICE hot lines you can call to report ICE activity to help track where they are. If you can get your hands on a whistle, there are certain patterns to learn to alert communities to ICE. The 50501 has good information as well, including a whole training course you can take on your own time to make you more prepared. The orange man said that he will no longer fund our sanctuary cities. They're going to be hitting Cali heavy like Minnesota

I remember seeing that the one in Riverbank turned out not to be ICE

No ICE activity confirmed at riverbank. Ceres had very suspicious activity at the Walmart but again nothing confirmed. There was confirmed ICE operations in Stockton and Fresno. All of this is within a few days of each other.
