Hi everyone. Starting a discussion here about the past two days (and probably ongiong) ICE raids, LAPD, and soon National guard response to the anti-ICE protests in Los Angeles
This forum post aims to document deployments of the National Guard within the US during the Trump administration. Note that information for deployments before October 21, 2025 may be located in other posts, namely https://discord.com/channels/709752884257882135/1371571764525535242 and https://discord.com/channels/709752884257882135/1381169631263199232 . National Guard deployments which support ICE initiatives should remain in https://discord.com/channels/709752884257882135/1371571764525535242 .

After the discussion in #data-science-and-engineering, I decided to create this post to continue the discussion. I think there is value in having this discussion here, especially since the OSINT-adjacent community will have a rather unique perspective on the challenges posed by recent developments and potential mitigation strategies. There seems to be strong disagreement about what exactly those challenges even are and where mitigation strategies should be applied (e.g. legal or technological).
