I’m trying to confirm whether or not there was an ICE arrest in my community. I think it is, but someone else online said that they had it confirmed that the agents were not from ICE, but they were unable to provide any hard evidence to corroborate that
I’m having trouble finding videos, but are they required to wear vests identifying themselves as ICE, or can they vary?
Well, for anyone who isn’t a citizen then it would be very easy to have murdering a government official be used against them. Maybe slightly less so for citizens but still a big risk, assuming you make it out alive. Typically they outnumber the people they are kidnapping and are likely all armed themselves.
I mentioned it in another thread on the topic but the only real semblance of a viable strategy I can think of would be to have armed patrols like the Panthers had, and some kind of hotline for rapid response deployment. It would be very challenging to organize this, but I’ve seen some cases of people being de-arrested at protests recently by other protesters acting swiftly. I think I saw a report of an ICE kidnapping going that way too.
There are instances of rapid response networks that have popped up, but I do feel like regular patrols need to happen especially in very diverse communities
