“They're called legal observers under the immigrant advocacy group Copal. They're part of a network of 5,000 people who respond to tips that federal immigration enforcement is around.”
COPAL (Comunidades Organizando el Poder y la Acción Latina, or Communities Organizing Latine Power and Action) is the nonprofit organization based in Minnesota
- It has an entity called COPAL Education Fund, which is registered as a nonprofit
- The COPAL Education Fund has received support from entities like the Margaret A. Cargill Fund, LISC Twin Cities, Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (private and government funding)
- Federal grants (the Education Fund has received over $2 million in federal funding in recent years for immigrant-related economic and community programs)American taxpayers are literally paying for these people to be out patrolling for ICE
