Community leaders joined together at the Lucy Parson's Center to discuss ICE escalation.
The message was clear: help your neighbors, says Minneapolis City Council Member Jason Chavez.
"What the federal government is trying to do is tear our community apart and split our community members apart as well," Chavez explained. "And what we need from the community right now is to continue to patrol our neighborhoods, continue to observe the illegal actions by the federal government because they are completely illegal. We need people to continue to stand up."
The community activists say they will continue to stand-up, including a large protest planned for this Saturday at Powderhorn Park.

"What if ICE starts to escalate? We're ready," says Altobell-Resendez. "We have plans in place. We have people who keep our protests safe. We have people who are ready, are trained, and ready to respond."
Local clergy and faith leaders gathered outside the home of 37-year old Renee Good, the woman who was killed by ICE yesterday, with demands.
The words were powerful and passionate from Imam Ali with As Siddiq Islamic Center and Reverend Russell with Greater Friendship Missionary Baptist Church.
"This is not a war zone. This is our neighborhood. We are better together. Amen."
The demands were biting, from Minister JaNaé Imari Bates.
"ICE must immediately cease its surge in operations in the state of Minnesota. We call on Minnesota's congressional delegation and the United States Congress. This is your job," Bates said.
There were a couple hundred people gathered outside the home of Good.
"She was not armed, she was not a threat," Bates added. "She was standing for freedom, and the federal government answered her courage with a bullet. Let the record be clear that that was not an accident. It was murder."
She said the ICE agent who shot Good, now identified as Jonathan Ross, must be arrested, charged, and prosecuted.
