It’s been two months since the federal government began what it calls “Operation Metro Surge” in Minnesota. Besides spreading fear amongst immigrants and many documented instances of violence and racial profiling, the surge has led many Minnesotans to jump into action.
The Immigrant Defense Network helped band together more than 100 organizations to assist struggling families and defend immigrants’ constitutional rights. In January, the network registered an average of 2,000 volunteers per week to train as constitutional observers. A constitutional observer is a trained community member who observes and documents federal law enforcement activity to help ensure constitutional rights are followed.
Thanks Immigrant Defense Network!
Best use a buddy system so they are less likely to disappear you for a while.

Always work in pairs. And I also recommend having three cameras per person, pointed at your pair.
Personally I prefer one bodycam (gopro on chest or helmet), one cell phone (ideally live streaming to some private cloud so they can’t delete it), and one waterproof camcorder with optical zoom.
That’s six cameras total, with two distinct angles. Per pair.
