1/ As you may remember this was the largest single state #ICERaid ever conducted (and one of the biggest one in the last 5 years or so) which resulted in 638 noncitizens arrested at 7 food processing plants in MS. About 300 remain in ICE custody in Jena LA & in MS.
2/ The whole thing apparently started this last Feb with a pretty common occurrence: an informant who had previously provided "reliable info to LEA" told ICE officer that almost all the work force at P H Food was "illegal". What happened is anything but ordinary or common ...
Whilst searching #ICERaid tweets for potential bots, we stumbled upon an intriguing #resistance account: @Emily_Winters20, created July 8th 2019. "Emily's" picture has been making the rounds for considerably longer, though.

96.8% of @Emily_Winters20's tweets are posted in brief tweetsorms via a custom app with the poetic symbolic name of "appforsnek." Although we can't rule out the account being part of a network, we didn't find any other accounts tweeting via this tool.
The automated tweets from @Emily_Winters20 are all retweets, and each tweetstorm seems focused on a specific hashtag/search term or list thereof. Most (possibly all) have trended recently, so this bot may select what to retweet based on current trending topics.
I haven’t been able to shake the image of @VP Mike Pence, who built his political brand on the Christian faith, standing in front of a human kennel with hundreds of men, & looking away without the slightest hint of Christ-like empathy. So I drew something.

This image is based on Matthew 25:31-46, which became my favorite passage as an evangelical teen reading the New Testament for the first time—and ultimately disillusioned me with the evangelical world that seemed concerned about everything but what Jesus said in that passage.
In it, Jesus tells his disciples that whenever they give food to the hungry, water to the thirsty, clothes to the naked, refuge to the stranger (immigrant), or visit someone in prison, they are doing it for him, too.

1/5 All Americans, not only in the States most heavily affected but in every place in this country, are rightly disturbed by the large numbers of illegal aliens entering our country. #ICEraid
2/5 The jobs they hold might otherwise be held by citizens or legal immigrants. The public service they use impose burdens on our taxpayers. That's why our administration has moved aggressively to secure our borders more by hiring a record number #ICEraid
3/5 of new border guards, by deporting twice as many criminal aliens as ever before, by cracking down on illegal hiring, by barring welfare benefits to illegal aliens. In the budget I will present to you, we will try to do more to speed the deportation of #ICEraid
We took a look at #MAGA follower trains, which appear to be a significant means by which fans of 45 network/organize.

The concept is simple: account that already has a lot of followers tweets a "train" tweet/thread consisting of a list of accounts to follow. These threads in turn receive replies from users wishing to be included in the next train.
To gather a set of #MAGA accounts that had grown their followings at least in part by participating in trains, we searched for replies containing both "MAGA" and "your train" and then harvested the accounts that posted or retweeted the train tweets being replied to.

1/ Sept 2017 Operation Mega targeted 8000+ ppl for a nationwide raids and @ConMijente was able to get some of the planning materials through FOIA. There is no way to know how much has changed but the mechanics & data collection is likely the same.
