Hundreds around the country look for training in how to respond to immigration enforcement

Communities in multiple cities joined a nationwide ICE Watch training session with hundreds attending from across the country.
Activists formed rapid response groups to monitor immigration enforcement operations safely in their communities.
Trainings emphasize documenting details like the number of agents and uniforms to understand enforcement tactics.
Officials caution that protest monitoring can carry legal risk and may be interpreted as obstruction.
Participants were advised not to touch or interfere with agents and to maintain a safe distance.
The trainings occurred amid heightened operations, including a three-month push in Los Angeles and Chicago.
Border Patrol officials defended their actions but acknowledged risks to officers and bystanders.
Trainers urged groups to document but not obstruct, framing the effort as a nonviolent civic activity.
The program builds on prior activations seen during operations labeled Midway Blitz and related enforcement efforts.
