US citizen held by ICE despite judge seeing birth certificate
Meet your immigrant neighbors, they're hitting them first. Help them organize and arm themselves. When the gestapo comes...fight.
Over the past 3 months, i have disributed over 1500 red cards. los tarjetas rojas. They explain immigrant rights and what to do if ice shows up. https://www.ilrc.org/red-cards-tarjetas-rojas
In a normal world, thats enough to help protect them. Its a little step i know, but its something i could do to help.
Now it is a lie and i mislead my neighbors and friends. They are not safe.
Next step?
Go back. Amend your card with new accurate information. Distribute it. Offer to help yet again with whatever they need.. Eat your pride and tell them you were wrong. Show them you mean it and protect yourself from the gestapo because you are now a target as well. Suggest they arm themselves and fight back and the reasons why so they can make an informed choice on how they personally wish to protect themselves now that they have this new information.
People are good. They will see you are trying your best with what you have. You are doing good too. Don't be discouraged. This is the most positive thing I have heard from an American in days even though you feel defeated. Give em hell!
I also don't know exactly what the next step is.
Obviously, protesting and civil disobedience.
Looking at historical precedents, I also think targeted sabotage should be part of it. Nothing like the Reichstag fire or the assassination of Ernst vom Rath that would fuel a civil war.
In WW2, our resistance performed targeted sabotage on (for example) rail lines, pipelines and electrical networks that did not hurt anyone, but which did weaken the German war effort.
One big disadvantage compared to WW2 is the massive surveillance state.
During slavery there was also the underground railroad. I would definitely set up a system like that to bring targeted activists to Canada. You really don't want to lose your intelligentsia. Let them provide resistance from Canada.
I hope others have better ideas on effective tactics though.
They're gonna do this en masse right before the next election. Before it's over, we'll see ICE kidnapping people who are in line to vote. After all, they can clear up any "mistakes" after they've prevented people from voting.
Sounds like there's going to be a lot of bodies in line (and on the ground) during voting.
We're so fucked
Arm yourselves.
And for the love of god, train. Get classes if you can.
And trauma kits. Lots of trauma kits and trauma first aid training.
I agree this is total fuckery, but at least the dude was released hours later.
Says they can hold for 48 hours for DHS to take them into custody. He was released Thursday evening but I dont see when he was arrested. If it was Tuesday evening then the only reason he was released was because DHS didn’t take him into custody which implies they realized they couldn’t and didn’t even attempt to get him released sooner or punishing him with a 48 hour imprisonment was the whole point. What’s to stop them from imprisoning any citizen for 2 days for whatever reason.
You're not wrong, but in this specific case he was in ICE custody for less than 12 hours.
Oh Judge Riggans, you ain't white either. You think you're safe but you're far from it.
We’re so lucky that guy in El Salvador isn’t dead. I’d expect a response of riots, and an armed, violent response to any ICE activity, since getting nabbed by them is a high likelihood of death even if innocent and legal.
What did the last round of riots get you?
