The unexpected resistance to ICE in Minnesota: The soccer moms of Signal

"Shelby is quick to say she’s not an activist. She’s just one of many Twin Cities mothers who have quietly organized behind the scenes over the last three months during the ICE surge in Minnesota, mobilizing a cadre of suburban sports moms over encrypted Signal messages to support immigrant families living in fear.

"Many of these parents haven’t been politically active before but are now driven to volunteer by viral images of little kids being detained and the fact that their own children’s classmates are missing from school as attendance drops sharply over ICE fears."

Across the Twin Cities, a cadre of suburban sports moms have mobilized to support immigrant families.
