Yes, there are many ways to help from out-of-state!
Call your senators and representatives to hold ICE accountable. It's fine to enforce the law but they cannot be breaking other laws doing it.
Boycott business that support ICE for as long as ICE is being so heavy-handed. Enterprise rents them cars, Hilton Hotels puts them up, Target & Home Depot allow use of their parking lots for staging and their bathrooms. Get rid of your Ring doorbell, which partners with Flock. Call the companies and tell them what you're doing.
Get prepared. There's no reason to think this won't come to you once they pull out of Minnesota. Meet your neighbors, especially those of color. Start a Signal chat with them. Read how to start a Rapid Response Network [1]
My team uses a github PR template with the following sections. Answers to each can be short yet it has been extraordinarily helpful to pass over important info to the reviewer that's not captured in code. It also borders on "checklist" that the code author has actually done the bare minimum to think things through.
# Goal
(why is this change needed at all)
# What I changed and why I did it this way
# What I'm not doing here and how I'll follow up
# How I know it works
(optional section, I include this only for teams with lots of very junior engs: "added a test" is often sufficient)
