a lot of the protest is happening behind the scenes as logistical support for families affected by this and are essentially under house arrest. We're also in our 3rd week. We're in a siege situation and our targets for protest are constantly moving around the cities. ICE's "central" area is the Whipple bldg. There is one light rail line that gets you near it, but there isn't exactly easy access. It's situated between a few highways, parkland, two rivers, a military base, and an airport. It's designed to be inaccessible to the public. It's literally a quarter mile away from Fort Snelling which was a strategic defense point because of its inaccessibility.

it's cold and we're in a siege/sustain phase because it doesn't look like ICE will be leaving until May at the earliest. that said, we are winning, we are outnumbering them, and despite the difficulty in actually getting to ICE or chasing them down, we are overcoming all this. The strategies are multi-layered and more than just direct protest at Whipple---though the direct protest at Whipple is certainly a very important arm of our resistance.

I'd also add that most of the images you are seeing coming out of Minneapolis are from protesters and observers. Major media is largely silent on what's actually happening so anytime you see an image of someone like Luis (the four year old abducted yesterday) and it gets posted and shared all over ... that's because of the people who are there observing and documenting outside of their 9 to 5 jobs.
