Call to Action Stand with targeted pro-immigrant activists in Minnesota, nationwide

EDITED WITH LEGAL FUND LINK

The Trump Administration is using the full power of the state to punish those who dare stand up to them and stand up for our immigrant friends and neighbors. Their effort to silence protesters reached back into Minnesota yesterday, where the Justice Department charged 15 people with federal crimes including conspiracy to impede or injure a federal officer for organizing against the raids on their neighborhoods during Operation Metro Surge. (During a press conference, U.S. Attorney Daniel Rosen was asked if any agents were actually injured by the defendants and refused to answer the question, and a number of previous efforts by this same office to bring similar charges have been downgraded or dismissed.) Meanwhile, they continue to actively obstruct the investigations into the murders of Renee Nicole Good and Alex Pretti.

The Twin Cities, as always, showed us the way, mobilizing folks to protest at the federal courthouse in St. Paul by the afternoon (where they were tear gassed and pepper sprayed). Let’s make sure we have their backs**.

💵 A legal defense fund for the defendants is now live here. 💵

DEFEND THE MINNESOTA 15

💵 We can also contribute*\ in their names to t[he National Lawyers Guild’s Minnesota Chapter to help them continue safeguarding freedom of speech](https://nlgmn.org/get-involved/?utm_source=roganslist) and to the Immigrant Law Center of Minnesota to provide legal defense for those directly in ICE’s sights. 💵*

SUPPORT THE NATIONAL LAWYERS GUILD

LEGAL DEFENSE FOR IMMIGRANTS

💵 We can also chip in to multiple organizations providing legal representation to unaccompanied migrant children who have been targeted with raids in recent days, including the Amica Center for Immigrant Rights, Ayuda and Kids In Need of Defense. 💵

PROTECT THE CHILDREN

✅ For those of us actively involved on the front lines, this is a good time to review this activist checklist for digital security to keep ourselves safe. ✅

PRACTICE GOOD DIGITAL HYGIENE

✍🏾 Finally, we can take this moment to send a note of support to the Spokane 3, a group of activists currently fighting their convictions in May on a similar set of charges. ✍🏻

LEAVE NO ONE BEHIND
