Across the state, agencies, organizations and community members have launched initiatives to help people affected by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) arrests and deportations, including ways to report federal activity and access support.

The Minnesota Attorney Generalโ€™s Office created an online form where residents can report encounters with ICE and the effects of federal enforcement, including racial profiling, excessive force, retaliation against protesters, business closures and reduced access to healthcare and education. Officials say the form helps assess and address impacts of federal actions and may support the stateโ€™s lawsuit challenging the Department of Homeland Security surge.

A nonprofit organization, People Over Papers, has compiled a resource where residents nationwide can report sightings of ICE. The publicly accessible map allows users to submit reports of arrests, raids and canvassing and updates daily.
