> But how will i know where such zones are ?!
Pilot here. This is not unprecedented. The same kind of thing applies to all major sporting events. They have no-fly zones but FAA provides NO official source for getting the info of when such events occur and why. It is left to the pilots to find out all major sporting events and stadiums around and when they have events, under serious penalties. It forces pilots to care about sportsball.
Aren't NOTAMs published for those with specific information about the TFR, including location and time window?
NO. They just say “any event”
What about SEAMS, mentioned here? https://www.faa.gov/uas/getting_started/where_can_i_fly/airs...

Also relevant to this situation is that the groups this is likely targeting are actively tracking ICE convoys and personnel in group chats (and random civilians who they think are ICE too) so the excuse of “oh woe is me how can I know where not to fly” falls flat. My parents are in Minneapolis and they are saying things haven’t felt this dangerous since the riots in 2020.
