It's a couple panicking after their doordasher ran inside their house because she was being harassed by ICE. The Dasher had a Minnesota ID.
The Mom is already on the phone with police when the video starts and she's asking them what to do, saying she needs a warrant before she does anything but she's scared because they have guns, have her house surrounded, and are snooping through her yard
And what I want to say here and why I'm posting this: the police told her that if she doesn't release the woman then the couple will be charged with harboring.
They said that knowing that ICE doesn't have a warrant, let alone a signed warrant.
The police are not on our side and they don't care about anyone's rights.
That said, this also ended up being a community effort.
The Mom holds the Doordasher's hand and leads her to the door, talking about how this goes against everything she stands for as a Native. She's in tears crying about how she has a baby in the house and is scared to let them in because they've had their hands on their guns the whole time.
They stand on the threshold together and a crowd gathers as the Mother screams at these ICE pigs and draws attention. Her neighbors start recording and yelling too. The Mom screams at them that it's her property and they need to get off it. She never hands the woman over to ICE or lets her leave her front door.
And you know what ICE does?
They get in their cars. And they leave.
An update was posted today from the same Mom. She said the Dasher is safe and is now in contact with an immigration lawyer.
She also states she has no contact information with that other person because "The less I know, the better." So her neighbors and people who stood by are the ones in contact and helping out.
Do not trust the fucking cops.
Do not trust the fucking feds.
Yes that includes your cop uncles and favorite politicians.
I've been saying this for years but it bears repeating: we protect us
Organize. Your. Community.
