In Minneapolis, two teenagers, Sam and Ben Luhmann, have become social media influencers as they document the activities of the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents. These 16 and 17-year-old siblings are taking on the role of community protectors, actively monitoring and recording the movements of ICE in their area, particularly during surprise raids. Their efforts aim to alert vulnerable immigrant populations about potential enforcement actions, which have become a significant concern given the aggressive immigration policies in place.

The Luhmann brothers gained initial fame by following and documenting hunting missions of the ICE, specifically during an operation known as 'Midway Blitz.' This operation, which began in September 2025, saw increased immigrant enforcement in various neighborhoods, notably in Chicago. As they transitioned their focus to Minneapolis, they continued to build their platform on social media, where they share videos and updates about ICE activity, fostering a sense of community awareness and vigilance.

Their actions not only highlight the risky environment immigrants often find themselves in due to ICE operations but also emphasize the role that young people can play in advocating for immigrant rights. The phenomenon of using social media to mobilize and inform communities reflects broader societal trends regarding activism, particularly among youth. By serving as eyes and ears for their community, Sam and Ben are part of a growing movement that seeks to provide safety and support in the face of strict immigration enforcement policies.
