## Resource

Responding To The Minnesota Surge Leads To A Pastor's Arrest! Curtis Chang sits down with Rev. Mariah Tollgaard for an on-the-ground look at ICE raids and immigration enforcement in Minneapolis–St. Paul, Minnesota. They break down masked agents, rapid detentions, and MSP Airport deportation flights—plus the church-led pushback through mutual aid, constitutional observer trainings, and clergy protests that led to Reverend Tollgaard's arrest. It's a faith-and-civil-rights wake-up call: what neighbor-love demands when ICE shows up in your city, and why accountability matters. 03:11 - Setting the Scene: ICE Occupation in Minnesota 08:19 - How Are Churches and the Community Responding? 00:10:24 - Faith-Based Activism, Public Witness, and Arrests of Faith Leaders 15:46 - Theological Reflection on Resistance 17:55 - Biblical Basis for Protest 24:25 - Minnesota's Unique Response and Context 29:52 - Corporate Complicity and Airport Protests 34:02 - Spiritual Courage Rooted In History 36:36 - A Call to National Solidarity 38:48 - Closing Prayer Sign up for the Good Faith Newsletter Learn more about George Fox Talks Mentioned In This Episode: How to Contact Your Elected Officials: Ballotpedia's Who Represents Me tool Matthew 22:34-40 (ESV) - The Second Greatest Commandment Ephesians 6:10–19 (ESV) - The Whole Armour of God Hebrews 12:1-17 (ESV) - The Great Cloud of Witnesses Nearly 30,000 Minnesotans trained as constitutional observers In The Twin Cities, A Massive Strike Against ICE Ernst Frenkel's The Dual State: A Contribution To The Theory Of Dictatorship (pdf) David French: An Old Theory Helps Explain What Happened to Renee Good Good Faith episode 215: David French: Dual State America and Authoritarianism - Renee Good and the Trump Administration Follow Us: Good Faith on Inst…
