ICE stops a family at gunpoint & smashes their car window over a newborn baby
There are actions you can take to prepare for an #ICEStorm, to minimize damage & keep people safe. Our awareness, sense of community, & determination act as shields against unjust authority. Here's where I see our main opportunities: - Awareness - Community Preparation - Advocacy - Direct Actions

Firstly, #organizingsky #nokings #writer I want to highlight this upcoming training Saturday, November 29 Alt Text: 2640 St Paul Learn from local neighborhood ICE watch organizers Waverly/Ednor Gardens organizers how to build a neighborhood ICE watch. Reserve your seat at bit.ly

đšMarylanders "It appears that ICE is preparing to dramatically expand its reign of terror in Baltimore very soon. Come learn from organizers from Ednor Gardens/Waverly whoâve successfully built a robust community ICE watch in their neighborhoods. #MomSky secure.everyaction.com
AWARENESS: Leading the charge on these kidnappings are Homeland Secretary Kristi Noem, Border Czar Tom Homan, and Professional Border Patrol Douchebag Greg Bovino. Bovino, most of all, is weak to being insulted for his manhood. He'd just hate to be reminded that he repeatedly committing perjury.
Bovino is laughing in front of the protestors in Chicago.

Kristi Noem is obsessed with her image. She wants to look tough, white, and sexy. She does *not* want to hear about that time she impulsively murdered a puppy for being "aggressive".

Tom Homan wants to be seen as a legitimate government official. Don't ask him about that bribe he took in a bag of chips. He wouldn't enjoy that.
every time I watch this, and it's been too many times, I marvel anew at how absolutely hammered Tom Homan sounds
The FBI recorded Tom Homan allegedly accepting $50,000 in cash as part of an undercover operation. Three Democratic senators havenât given up on getting answers â and I have an exclusive first look at their latest efforts. ms.now

AWARENESS: Trump's intention is to blur the line between ICE and the Police through 287g agreements. If we allow that to happen in MD, then our own police will be used against us. SCOTUS recently legalized racially profiled Kavanaugh Stops and Trump's executive orders have expanded ICE's authority.
An executive order on immigration enforcement signed on Day One of the new admin, âProtecting the American People from Invasion,â vastly emboldens ICE, including by turning state and local police into arms of ICE through the 287(g) program. civilrights.org
Ventura County Sheriffâs Office and TOPD Jeremy Paris claim they are not working alongside ICE. Sheriff Jim Fryhoff gaslights alleging his actions are public safety. Itâs not public safety; itâs coordination. Worse, these lying fascists used CRPD facilities this morning. Chinga La Migra!
ADVOCACY: Local, County, State Police/Sheriff's offices don't want to be dragged around assisting ICE, and their bosses especially don't want the publicity. Call them and let them know that you agree. baltimorepolice.org

"Residents voiced their opposition to the Alexandria Sheriff's Office's alleged coordination with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officers during a city council meeting on Saturday." âŹ

ADVOCACY: Reach out by phone, email & letter to your district's - City Council Member - State Senators/Delegates - US Senators/House Reps @5calls.org - Mayor Brandon Scott - and Governor Wes Moore

Public officials want you to reach out to them because they want an excuse to stand up, so they don't have to defend their actions, they can truthfully say "my constituents demanded it".

DIRECT ACTION: ICE's main Maryland field office is in Baltimore. Enforcement & Removal Operations 31 Hopkins Plaza 6th Floor Baltimore, MD 21201 (443) 560-0640 Baltimore.Outreach@ice.dhs.gov

DIRECT ACTION: ICE contracts flights out of BWI with airlines like Avelo. aveloair.com (346) 616-9500

If you're protesting, it's vital you know your rights Save these bust cards, share with others, write phone numbers on your arm, look for legal observers if you need assistance and remember to say "no comment" without a lawyer Keep yourselves and each other safe
DIRECT ACTION: #abolishice Neighborhood patrols & watches to ensure that ICE is not able to kidnap quietly. Focus on areas where migrants congregate. We have the benefit of taking shifts. They're spread out, chasing everyone at the same time, so they can't. When ICE appears call for reinforcements.
When Border Patrol showed up across Charlotte, parents and neighbors rushed to Berryhill to meet kids at the bus stop. They stood watch, linked arms, and made one thing clear: if the city gets targeted, its children will not face it alone. This is what community looks like.đ #ICE #fightback
Today, one of the teachers at the school where I do ICE patrol told me that with the walking bus (teachers pick up kids from immigrant families living at a nearby shelter & walk them to school), attendance for those kids is back up to 100% after dropping to ~50%. Pay teachers one million dollars.
DIRECT ACTION: Annoy ICE. It may seem silly, but it isn't. Xenophobia requires morale, and energy. If they don't sleep, they're constantly surrounded by whistles and cameras in their face, & being called a b*^ch, they'll dread coming in to work. Good.
Hotel where ICE GOONS are staying. Do not let these demons rest. North Carolina
âI want their morale as low as possible because a team with low morale is ineffective.â Meet the veteran who chases ICE on a scooter

DIRECT ACTION: Get your holiday "shopping" done as a group, at Home Depot. They've allowed kidnappings in not just their parking lots, but also *in their stores*. Slow their lines, waste their time, and cost them processing fees. Otherwise, shop elsewhere.
Genius
#WeAinâtBuyingIt This action is taking direct aim at Target, for caving to this administrationâs biased attacks on DEI; Home Depot, for allowing, colluding with ICE to kidnap our neighbors on their properties; and Amazon, for funding this regime to secure their own corporate tax cuts. #Indivisible
COMMUNITY PREPARATION: #MDSky #DMVLife #EastCoastKin Make your area *visibly* unwelcoming to ICE with posters, art, and flyers. Ask local businesses to display that they welcome immigrants, not ICE.
Three blocks from my house. Hell yes Durham North Carolina
Nothing makes me walk into a business faster than seeing an âICE IS NOT WELCOME HEREâ sign đ€đ„
AWARENESS: Don't let ICE disappear into the night, memorialize their kidnappings by leaving a mark.
Across the Chicago area, you can find signs that read âICE secuestrĂł alguien aquĂ,â or âICE kidnapped someone here,â which began appearing last month during the ongoing federal immigration crackdown.

COMMUNITY PREPARATION: You can also distribute resources on How to Report ICE to the CASA de Maryland Hotline drive.google.com (888) 214-6016
wearecasa.org
COMMUNITY PREPAREDNESS: Activists have had success blowing neck-worn whistles to signal ICE's presence in an area. Get a whistle, perhaps enough for a group. Keep it around your neck. đŹ - - - Broken Rhythm for ICE đŹ ____ Continuous for Arrests
drive.google.com
COMMUNITY PREPAREDNESS: You can distribute Whistle + Flyer kits to neighbors, community centers.
southseattleemerald.org
Just printing whistle cards at the library and browsing the resources on bit.ly to stay current. A comrade in Chicago is sending me some printed whistles that Iâm going to start distributing stat. Baltimoreans lemme know if you want some to hand out.
DIRECT ACTION: Support immigrant businesses, either by protecting them, or by buying out their stock and sending them home to their families.
Yesterday, when Bovino announced ICE would be returning to Little Village today, some of us donated and fundraised to buy out street vendors in the neighborhood. This morning, volunteers hit the streets at 6:30 am, looking for vendors to buy out. Tamales make an excellent breakfast.
Are you not from Maryland? I encourage you to make an equivalent thread for your area and I'd be happy to share resources with you. Just reach out! Together, we can send these losers packing.
Reports suggest that U.S. Customs and Border Protection operation known as âCharlotteâs Webâ has officially ended after just 5 days. Cheers to everyone in Charlotte who organized hard to protect communities and let ICE know they are not welcome!
