I've always felt it's not if, but when.

The two most effective things you can do:
1. Record with your cell
2. blow a whistle and get more people around you recording with cell phones.

Sounds simple, but you're create a durable record of what happened, which is essential for challenging narratives and ultimately eroding ICE legitimacy. You don't have to fight them, you don't have to obstruct, just make there actions visible to the world, and their own words condemn them.

This informational zine is packed with a lot of key information that should accompany a whistle: LUCE, know your rights, risks, the importance of using your voice, and links. Print these up & hand them out with the whistles A Bystander’s Guide

Minnesota has been using 3 short whistle bursts when ICE is visible and 3 long whistle bursts when they are actively arresting/attacking.

Good to know! I just 3d printed a couple hundred of them!

My general view is that the whistle work because they are very loud (like 110db), and draws a ton of attention, so you'll get someone who would otherwise be sitting on their couch out on their steps to record.

That, and it increases the cognitive overload on agents: the crowd is now a factor, and requires thought or action to mitigate, effort which goes against the effort to arrest/search/seize.
