If you know anyone ICE might take an interest in, please let them know this:

As the day wore on, agents on the ground faced familiar challenges. Many immigrants are aware that ICE agents typically don’t have criminal warrants and can’t enter a home without permission. Social media alerts and word-of-mouth warnings are also urging migrants to stay out of sight.
“Usually, it just takes the first arrest and the phone calls start,” said Matthew Putra, acting field director for ICE in St. Paul, Minnesota, describing how Facebook posts and tweets often tip off communities. “Nobody would move, nobody would open a door, lights would be turned off.”

      They are already detaining (although apparently not yet deporting) people with no warrants at all. There’s an article that ICE is detaining Navajo people. So it’s worth letting people know this regardless.

      Those warrants have specific addresses, no? Could this be foiled by a temporary housing shuffle?
