    FYI the enforcement arms of CBP and ICE do not shut down. Just the departments in DHS that would perform oversight over ICE and CBP. So don’t expect boots on the ground to reduce in any way because of this.

      Was just coming to say that. So instead, I’ll post this

      Cleveland Rapid Response could use donations if you can. https://rhizomehouse.org/mutualaid/ is a good list of people you can help.

      Shit is going down in Minnesota but they’ve never been more organized than they are now. Only we keep us safe.

      If you want to help you can donate to a few groups.

      https://nlgmn.org/mass-defense/

      https://www.wfmn.org/funds/immigrant-rapid-response/

      More comprehensive list here https://www.standwithminnesota.com/

      How to organize a rapid response from a very high level with further detailed resources. https://southerncoalition.org/resources/rapid-response-101/

      Good general advice on organizing, also a good resource to find groups near you that are likely aligned. https://www.fiftyfifty.one/organizer-resources

      Feel free to reach out for any other resources.
