Platforms used to track immigration enforcement operations remain active in and around Minneapolis, with users continuing to post sightings of ICE agents and vehicles, according to multiple online databases and social media accounts tied to anti-ICE activism.
The activity follows the death of Renne Nicole Good, the woman who was killed by law enforcement after she jeopardized a federal immigration operation in Minneapolis. DHS sources confirmed on Friday that Good belonged to a Minneapolis-based “ICE Watch” group that trained members to track ICE activity and interfere with agents, including by blocking law enforcement vehicles. The Trump administration has described the shooting as an act of self-defense.
An anti-ICE Instagram account identified as “MN Ice Watch” mandates followers to anonymously report the locations and appearances of ICE agents. The account remains active, posting photos of law-enforcement agents, vehicle license plate numbers, and photos of ICE officers’ faces in Minneapolis. Under a tab titled “Education,” the account promotes material on how to “de-arrest” individuals who have been arrested by law-enforcement by “physically prying the suspect from a law enforcement officer’s grips.” The training excerpt includes methods such as opening the door of a car or pressuring officers to release an arrestee, before describing the benefits of blocking law enforcement operations.
“If you don’t have a crowd asserting pressure there may be some interference charges that come with blocking a police vehicle that may be more easily handed down for only one or two people blocking a police vehicle, but in many cases these are misdemeanor offenses and catch and release,” the primer notes.
The Instagram account has also promoted the “Stop ICE Plate Tracker,” which is just one of multiple ICE-tracker databases that identifies vehicles used “in public spaces used in raids.” Despite efforts from the Trump administration in 2025 to remove the apps from the Apple App Store, many of the most popular ICE-tracker apps are still available.
Websites such as ICEinmyarea.org are currently operational and are used to spot ICE agents near Minneapolis. Users recently posted vehicles of ICE agents near a Starbucks in Robbinsdale with the caption, “Agents emerged from black unmarked SUV and approached people in white SUV.” The post added that “Local police were immediately dispatched and successfully removed the ICE agent from the scene.”
Users in Eagen posted a location pin with the caption, “they were getting gas at the Holiday. Didn’t have a chance to get a picture. Two white sprinter vans. All wearing masks and full gear. Saw at least 6 people.”
In the 24 hours after Good’s death, users posted twelve sightings of ICE agents in the area on the website. (RELATED: Here is What to Know About St. Paul’s New Controversial Mayor)
Similarly, the F.I.R.E. app operated an interactive map, which allowed users to post at least nine officer sightings in Minnesota in recent days. Other threads from Reddit users in Minnesota also pinpointed agents’ locations. Individuals who downloaded ICEBlock before it was removed from the App Store in 2025 are still able to use its services and report ICE sightings.
A local ICE Watch group on Facebook, which claims to be an “Autonomous Collective Documenting & Resisting Against ICE, Police, And All Colonial Militarized Abuse,” has not been dormant since last 2025, but similarly encourages residents to report ICE activity in detail.
