Community Defense Brigades Will Defend Neighbors When Threatened BY ICE

August 25, 2019 Elizabeth King, In These Times Resist! ICE, Immigration

Faced with President Donald Trump’s escalation of some of the country’s worst immigration policies—massive Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) raids, the Muslim ban, and tearing migrant children from their families at the country’s southern border—activists and community organizers have rallied behind immigrant communities. One key element of the fightback is the community defense patrol, a rapid response tactic designed to quickly react to ICE activity. Following the recent mass workplace ICE raid in Mississippi, in which 680 people were arrested, the critical need for community education and rapid response to ICE is all the more evident.

August 23, 2019 Staff, Fightformigrants.org Resist! ICE, Immigration, Undocumented

What It’s Like To Grow Up Hunted

August 22, 2019 By Josue De Luna Navarro, Otherwords.org Resist! Children, ICE, Repression, Undocumented

When I was just 10, I already knew what it was like to plan for a future without my parents. It was a quiet Sunday night when my dad told me to hide in a closet — and stay there until he said to come out. As I sat in the dark, I knew this was part of my life, part of my identity. The darkness and fear slowly penetrated my heart. I tightened up my fist, as if to squeeze the bravery I had in my heart to walk out of the closet. My brother and sister were hidden somewhere else, and all the lights were out.

Pepper spray was deployed -- there are reports of multiple injuries.

ICE: You’re Not Welcome In The South

August 16, 2019 By Justin Vest, Otherwords.org Resist! ICE, Immigration, South, Undocumented

Last week, I dropped my kids off for their first day of school in our small Alabama town of not even 7,000 people. The kids were excited, but I was a nervous wreck. My kids — ages 8 and 11 — are my heart and joy. Would they have everything they need? Like every dad, my mind raced through a million scenarios. My oldest is starting middle school. What haven’t I anticipated? What might come up and wreck his whole day, setting the tone for the school year? None of these came close to what families faced just a few hours west from us on their first day of school.

For True Climate Justice, Abolish ICE And CBP

August 14, 2019 By Josue De Luna Navarro, Inequality.org Strategize! Border Patrol, Climate Change, ICE

Last month, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio Cortez and Senator Kamala Harris released their Climate Equity Act – the first draft of a critical component of a Green New Deal. The act aims to protect marginalized communities as Congress attempts to “address” climate change by creating a system that gives environmental legislation an equity score based on its impact on “frontline communities.” By their definition, frontline communities include people of color, indigenous and low-income people, as well as groups vulnerable to energy transitions...

MORTON — U.S. immigration officials raided numerous Mississippi food processing plants Wednesday, arresting 680 mostly Latino workers in what marked the largest workplace sting in at least a decade.

Companies and other entities that make money from Immigration and Customs Enforcement contracts are flush in 2019, thanks to President Trump's harsh immigration operation. On July 24, Sens.

A joint investigation by the International Consortium of Investigative Journalists...

The Top 5 Ways To Defeat ICE Agents

July 30, 2019 Lee Camp, Truthdig.com Organize! Deportations, ICE, Immigration, Repression, Undocumented

The Democrats and the corporate media will breathlessly tell you how Donald Trump is a racist (he is). They’ll relay the gut-wrenching horror of having your family ripped apart by Border Patrol (I’m sure it is). They’ll let you know that keeping children in cages is not what America stands for and not who we are (it kinda is). But despite all of this, they practically never tell everyone how to actually fight back against ICE raids and Border Patrol detentions. Welcome to the paradoxical sales pitch of the neoliberal morass—“Act like you hate racism while doing almost nothing to stop racist policies that have gone on for decades!”

Hundreds marched through the rain Sunday afternoon to protest outside the Immigration and Customs Enforcement building in Williston. The demonstration was put on by the combined force of dozens of local activist groups including Women's March Vermont, Migrant Justice and the Peace and Justice Center. “If you’re taking children away from their mothers and leaving them in a room with no one to care for them, you need to quit your job,” said Bob Fishel, of Burlington.

July 24, 2019 Mary Papenfuss, Huffpost.com Resist! Deportations, ICE, Solidarity, Undocumented

“I could see if these people were bad criminals, but they’re not. They’re just trying to provide for their kids,” a neighbor told a Nashville TV station. A group of sympathetic Tennessee neighbors mobilized Monday to form a human barricade to successfully protect a father from arrest by two Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents. Neighbors in Nashville first brought food, water and gas to the unidentified man and his 12-year-old son, who were holed up for close to four hours in the family van after it was blocked in their driveway by the ICE agents, who witnesses said were not in uniform.

ICE Raids, Asylum Seekers And The Othering Of People Of Color

July 22, 2019 Preeti Vissa Kristipati, Greenlining.org Educate! Asylum, Deportations, ICE, Immigration, Undocumented

Like many of you, I’ve watched the reports and rumors of expected ICE raids, images of adults and children in U.S. concentration camps and the attacks on asylum seekers with horror. The large-scale ICE raids that officials have hinted at haven’t yet materialized as I write this, but they’ve succeeded in what may have been their real objective: terrorizing immigrant communities. Central and South Americans seem to be mainly in the crosshairs, but they’re far from the only ones.

If someone in your neighborhood is going on a rampage killing a bunch of neighbors and burying them in his backyard to the point that he's running out of room – do you say, well geez Bob, this is really a problem of mass grave space? What this metaphor has to do with pipelines, media literacy and creative resistance. Next up: ICE raids and the vital intersections between workers rights, migrant rights and the prison industrial complex. Finally, Ana Tiffany Devez sits down to talk about the past, present and future of fighting and building in El Paso.
