ICE is about to surge in Ohio, in force.
Over the past three weeks, federal agents have occupied Minneapolis — three shootings, tear gas on protesters, armored vehicles in the streets, and two Americans are dead.
Now 500 of those same agents are redeploying to Ohio.
Springfield hotels are already booked solid — that's where the Haitian community is concentrated. Our intelligence suggests operations will extend to Columbus next, home to the second-largest Somali diaspora in the country. And February 3rd is when Temporary Protected Status expires for Haitian immigrants, making them vulnerable. Four days from now.
Our neighbors are in the crosshairs.
We're ResistMap — a nationwide civil watch platform that tracks ICE activity, verifies reports from the ground, and sends emergency text alerts to warn communities before raids arrive. The same system that helped Minneapolis organize is now expanding to Ohio.
Our data science team is working right now to reach vulnerable neighborhoods across Springfield and Columbus. Every $6 you can give sends warnings to 100 families. The more we raise, the more of our neighbors we can reach before February 3rd.

We have the watch,
