Democratic Socialists of America in NYC training thousands of activists to counter ICE: report
NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
New York City’s chapter of the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) is organizing a large-scale effort to mobilize thousands of activists to respond to anticipated federal immigration enforcement actions, The New York Post reported.
The Post said DSA leaders outlined plans at a recent meeting to train roughly 4,000 volunteers, both members and non-members, to participate in what they describe as “rapid response” actions aimed at monitoring and, in some cases, disrupting Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) operations across the city.
“This has been in the past in New York specifically enough to deter ICE detentions,” said a DSA leader who only went by the name Marina, according to the outlet.
Organizers also pointed to protests and confrontations involving ICE agents in Minnesota as a model for the tactics they hope to bring to New York.

Those tactics include using whistles and other noise-making tools to alert neighborhoods to ICE activity and quickly draw activists to the scene.
“The whistles carry far and wide,” said Marina, according to the Post.
The Department of Homeland Security did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital’s request for comment.

Across the state, protests against ICE have drawn demonstrators holding signs reading, “ICE out for good,” “Quit your job,” and “Resist,” while federal law enforcement officers have deployed tear gas to disperse crowds outside the Bishop Henry Whipple Federal Building in St. Paul.
President Donald Trump has threatened to invoke the Insurrection Act, sending U.S. military troops to the Twin Cities.
Trump on Friday appeared to downplay his remarks, telling reporters that it wasn’t needed at the moment.

“I don’t think there’s any reason right now to use it, but if I needed it, I’d use it. It’s very powerful,” he said.
Fox News confirmed on Sunday that the Army’s 11th Airborne Division was recently placed on prepare-to-deploy orders for Minnesota, though it remains unclear whether the unit will ultimately be sent.

In the lead-up to the 2026 NFL Draft, NBC Sports’ Chris Simms gave his one and only prediction of who he believes will be selected in the first round on April 23, including where the Detroit Lions go after at the No. 17 overall pick.
Along with several draft boards and experts, the general consensus is that the Lions will prioritize an offensive tackle with their lone first-round pick, given the dire need to replace now-released Taylor Decker at the left tackle position next season.
In his April 20 prediction posted on X, Simms has the Lions addressing that need by selecting 6-foot-7, 352-pound Alabama offensive tackle Kadyn Proctor at their No. 17 overall draft position.
While there are some mock drafts that predict the Lions trading up to grab their desired draft target, the franchise certainly would not be opposed to Proctor, who is ranked as the No. 2 overall offensive tackle by NFL.com, perfectly falling to them at the No. 17 position.
If Detroit can land Proctor, it would likely be viewed as another successful first-round selection by general manager Brad Holmes and an excellent way to kick off the NFL Draft weekend in the Steel City.

Brice Turang drove in four runs and David Hamilton had four hits as the Milwaukee Brewers routed the Detroit Tigers 12-4 on Tuesday night.
Despite missing their top three hitters, the Brewers put 19 runners on base and scored in double digits for the second time this season. They have won five of six.
All nine Milwaukee starters reached base at least once, and Detroit catcher/knuckleballer Jake Rogers limited the damage by pitching a scoreless ninth inning.
Detroit lost its second straight after winning eight of nine.
Milwaukee used speed and small ball to take a 3-0 lead in the second inning. Garrett Mitchell led off with an infield single, took second on a walk and scored on Sal Frelick’s base hit. Hamilton beat out a bunt to load the bases.
After Blake Perkins struck out, Turang lined a two-run single to right. Turang, though, got caught in a rundown between first and second and the Tigers threw Hamilton out at the plate when he tried to score.
Detroit loaded the bases with no one out in the fourth, but Grant Anderson relieved Harrison and got Javier Báez to ground into a double play. That made it 3-1, but Anderson struck out pinch-hitter Kerry Carpenter to end the inning.
The Brewers made it 5-1 in the seventh on RBI singles by Turang and William Contreras.
Milwaukee added seven runs in an 11-batter eighth, an inning that included the fourth triple of Gary Sanchez’s 12-year MLB career.
Detroit scored three times in the ninth inning to cut the final margin to eight runs.
The teams continue the series on Wednesday night with the second of three games. Detroit RHP Casey Mize (1-1, 2.78) is scheduled to face RHP Chad Patrick (1-0, 0.95).

Ellison, Minneapolis, St. Paul update lawsuit against Operation Metro Surge with new data
(ABC 6 News) – Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison and Minneapolis and Saint Paul updated their lawsuit over Operation Metro Surge with new survey data on economic harm.
Researchers at the University of California San Diego conducted two surveys tied to the amended lawsuit. The lawsuit says the federal operation violated the Constitution and caused lasting economic damage.
The first survey was done between February and March and included nearly 1,400 residents. It found workers lost more than $240 million in wages during the operation.
A separate newly released survey of about 900 businesses found more than $600 million in lost revenue. The updated lawsuit from Keith Ellison and the cities of Minneapolis and Saint Paul adds that new data to its claims.
