This learning resource focuses on analyzing the strategies and impacts of community-based activism in response to immigration enforcement policies, particularly within the context of a significant incident in Minneapolis. Students will examine key vocabulary related to immigration law and community resistance, including terms like ICE, deportation, sanctuary, and resistance. The case study provides a detailed account of how local residents mobilized in response to an ICE presence, utilizing social media, legal observers, and community networks. Students are encouraged to identify specific strategies of resistance, compare differing perspectives from community organizers and local officials, and evaluate the effectiveness of these strategies while exploring the broader implications of such activism in comparison to historical movements. The resource includes frameworks for argumentation, analytical synthesis, and reflection on the outcomes of community resistance efforts.
