How are protesters in Minneapolis organizing so quickly in response to ICE raids?
Why are they suddenly using whistles, secure communications, defined roles, and standardized reporting?
In this video, I walk through a publicly available training document hosted on the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America’s website that explains how “ICE Watch” and rapid-response protest networks are structured and trained.
This isn’t about taking sides.
It’s about understanding how organization changes the dynamics between protesters and law enforcement.
Using an intelligence-analysis lens, I break down:
* Why these protests aren’t spontaneous
* How task organization, reporting formats, and comms discipline work
* Why tools like whistles and SALUTE-style reporting matter
* Where the risk of miscalculation starts when one side sees law enforcement and the other sees an existential threat
* Why history shows that force without legitimacy doesn’t suppress unrest, it trains it
To be very clear:
This video does not claim Minneapolis is facing an insurgency.
It does not label protesters as terrorists.
And it does not argue ICE is acting illegally by default.
What it does show is how modern protest movements prepare, train, and coordinate, and why ignoring that reality leads to bad outcomes for everyone involved.
