#SALUTEProtocol #EyesOnICE #Minneapolis #SaintPaul #TwinCities #Minnesota #ICE

A blue informational poster explaining how to report a situation by using the acronym “SALUTE,” with each letter prompting what details to include.

It says to share as many details as possible and, if safe, take pictures to include with your report.

S – SIZE / STRENGTH: “How many are there confirmed?” Example: “5 to 6 officers in 2 white minivans”
A – ACTIONS / ACTIVITY: “What are they doing?” Example: “Parked outside the grocery store”
L – LOCATION / DIRECTION: “Where? Be specific with directions” Example: “On the corner of 19th street and Broadway”
U – UNIFORM / CLOTHES: “What are they wearing? Are they in uniform or in regular clothing?” Example: “Wearing black long sleeve shirt and ballcaps”
T – TIME & DATE: “When? What time?” Example: “Spotted at 1:30pm on February 22”
E – EQUIPMENT / WEAPONS: “Do the have equipments or weapons on them? What are they driving?” Example: “They have body armor on and pepper spray”

If local police enforced traffic law against #ICE their whole operation would pretty much stop, seriously, for moving violations alone. Most egregiously, they routinely blow through red lights and stopsigns. This is common knowledge among people observing ICE.

Now ICE reportedly caused a serious crash in St Paul that, because the ICE agent also went to the hospital, may be the first absolutely known to involve ICE here in the #TwinCities. (Not counting all the times ICE rammed cars intentionally.)

I drove through Lyn-Lake and Uptown today.

I was a bit emotional, I used to live in Uptown and spent plenty of time on Lake street. Seeing all the banners, signs and street art (murals and graffiti) supporting the immigrant community and condemning ICE was great to see.

But it is also sad to see all the businesses clearly having very little traffic.

In case you needed another reason to love Minneapolis:

===

One deputy was struck in the head and the windshield of a vehicle was broken, the Hennepin County Sheriff’s Department said in a statement shortly after the event. According to the department, ice chunks were mixed in with the barrage of penile projectiles.

The colorful dildos, numbering in the hundreds, were brought to the Whipple building by Closer to the Edge. Sheriff’s deputies, tasked with policing the area around Whipple, picked up discount dildos from the road by the armful and tossed them over their side of the fence as protesters laughed at them.

If you are in Minnesota and are looking to help keep watch for ICE vehicles in your neighborhood or while out on errands, you can use this License Plate lookup tool: defrostmn.net/plate-check/inde

This is a culmination of data being collected by on the ground volunteers monitoring ICE’s staging bases, and is updated daily.

I created a little illustration that's unique, but based on a few others floating around – with the plan to eventually make it into a free watch face.

Still plenty of fuckery going on out there; it might be useful if you're looking for a clearly-marked free license vector image…for whatever Good Trouble you're getting into.

Free to use, alter, whatever, without attribution. Hit the link for SVG and EPS options.

ICE, and lessons from Minnesota
Last week, Donald Trump’s border Czar Tom Homan announced a drawdown of ICE personnel in Minnesota, following weeks of chaos and two deadly incidents in the state. Homan insisted that ICE was not surrendering, and this departure was instead evidence of ICE’s success in Minnesota. 
Beginning in December 2025, ICE announced ‘Operation Metro Sur...
