Training Sessions



Grok—
The video depicts a November 19, 2025, training session at Dilworth United Methodist Church in Charlotte, North Carolina, where over 1,000 participants practiced filming simulated ICE detentions and using noise to alert communities, organized by groups like Siembra NC in response to intensified federal immigration raids.

Despite the post's portrayal as "training to fight" federal agents, the event emphasized non-violent resistance, documentation, and de-escalation, with no reports of physical confrontations; similar sessions occurred nationwide amid 2025's record ICE arrests exceeding 500,000.

Resurfacing in early 2026, the clip fuels debates on civil liberties versus law enforcement, including potential violations of 18 U.S.C. § 1324 for harboring, while highlighting church involvement in advocacy that risks 501(c)(3) tax status under IRS rules on political activity.
