ICE agents chase after farmworkers as they flee fields during latest raid in Ventura County

Every day I get news about the gestapo capturing the enemies of the reich and throwing them in box cars, and I hear nothing about citizens doing anything to stop them.
There are protests and people mobbing ice agents and standing in front of the boxcars and stuff. In LA/Paramount there were enough that they shit their pants and called daddy for backup. It’s not really possible for these remote farming communities to have mobs of people overwhelming ice because there just aren’t that many people in the middle of nowhere farms.
If you haven’t heard about any resistance activity I strongly recommend you reconsider how and where you consume media.
100% this. There's been resistance everywhere over this. Minnesota drove out a bunch of ICE agents from their neighborhoods, there's been major protests all over the US about it. Like... we're for sure doing it.
ICE is sneaking around the back roads in my city, and a local network sends out warning messages to local immigrants. I'm looking into what I can do as a citizen to make it more difficult for ICE, but I'm impressed by the messaging network that has been set up.
If they use the same back roads you could set up traps.
Use a drone to drop paint on their windshield when parked.
Or drop liquid ass on the groups of cops/ICE, and/or their cars.
Or if you know an ICE person, anonymously dox them.
What is liquid ass? I feel like this is a typo but I love it.
Be sure to let them know about privacy services. Don't want them to be tracked doing the lords work.
I think they've got this on lock? But if you were to recommend something, what would you tell them? Most immigrants use WhatsApp anyway, which is secure, but i do have a friend who's closely allied with this group.
WhatsApp doesn't really have as much of the baggage that the rest of Meta does, but it is still their product, so I would move if possible. Signal is another good app to get people on. At least if there is a "core" team that is sourcing and redistributing info around should be made aware of privacy and anonymity, so that the network does not get decapitated so to speak.
The Hated One is a good youtube channel with resources around protesting. The guy is a bit of a paranoid, but his points still stand. He has some vids on how to make a burner phone. Some mesh network apps, and some info about removing metadata on digital files that might get shared around.
As we get serious about protesting we need to be serious about our digital and physical security. We don't want to use pages that can be taken down, nor do we want to give information that will allow ICE to take down our resistance networks in detail.
Wonder if an app is needed... but that would probably get banned pretty quick
The local Hispanic community started the message chain for the local Hispanic community, and they definitely have the system worked out amazingly: I get messages (in Spanish) about the presence of ICE in specific locations, as well as messages quashing false rumors about ICE. I know people in this organization are even following ICE vehicles around and messaging covertly... I mean, it's just super impressive. Every undocumented immigrant I have asked (I know a lot) is already connected to this message group. I don't know that an app would improve it in any way?
Though, the group seems to be using some sort of program because when I signed up I got a few automated messages asking for some of my information, and I know that multiple people are messaging through this number with notifications.
Regardless, go team! They are doing so much good.
It's a big country and unless the protesters have someway of knowing where the raids would happen before hand, you wont see them there. That's why you see them(or don't if the media is suppressing the story) at the detention centers or hotels they're staying at.
Because American voted for this, and many racists on the left used every excuse in the book to not vote for a black woman
