    And also, again and again — people need to know this! — I get these messages too:

    ICE started to gather, but dispersed when too many observers showed up.

    ICE vehicle headed back to base after being tailed in circles for an hour.

    ICE started abducting someone, but let them go as the gathered crowd got larger and larger.

    These people •really• do not want to be observed. Typical bullies: they cosplay tough guys, they waggle their gear around, but they •behave• like they’re afraid.

    Feeling helpless? Don’t. All of this resistance makes a real and concrete difference. Honestly, the fact that this huge chunk of local residents is giving a visible, sustained “HELL NO” all the time is basically the •only• thing holding them back at this point — but it •is• making a difference.

    If there were a sense of blanket permission, a sense that nobody is watching and nobody cares, a sense that there will never be consequences…we’d be in a whole different circle of hell right now.

    Local community groups? Busting their asses, but they live and die on volunteer support. Legal system? Too slow, too compromised. City, county, state elected officials? Grasping for something they can do. Local police? Useless or worse than useless, of course.

    BUT…all the above are formed by, shaped by, and constrained by popular sentiment. An active, defiant citizenry changes how all these institutions behave. Police know, politicians know, and yes, even judges know: they can only stray so far from what people will tolerate.

    This active resistance? Hell yeah, it matters. It’s the short-term •and• the long-term.

    Some of the little things that don’t make the news really get under my skin.

    ICE agents blow through stop signs, speed, drive recklessly.

    They take off their license plates (illegally), cover their license plates (illegally), •swap• license plates (illegally). We’ve seen the same vehicle show up with different plates on different days There are photos circulating of the •same• license plate number on multiple ICE vehicles side by side.

    Illegal. Completely illegal. But everyone agrees: nobody’s allowed to stop ICE from breaking state and local laws, only issue citations afterwards.

    To mismarked vehicles. With masked drivers who refuse to identify themselves. How do you cite •that•?!

    ICE eats at restaurants I know and love, nice comfy meal before going back out there and destroying more lives.

    It’s weird how much this enrages me. I hope the restaurant staff knows who they’re serving. I hope ICE knows they know. I hope ICE officers eat with nagging doubts about food safety.

    I heard a rumor — this one not well-substantiated — that they ate at a restaurant and then come back and raided it the next day.

    ICE assaulting a pregnant woman.

    Covering their license plates with fake spray-on snow to hide the numbers.

    Getting pelted with snowballs by the crowd and responding with pepper spray — which only increased the snowballs.

    Just this afternoon’s local news.

    Video of the snowballs (CW: person being assaulted, dragged)
    (UPDATE: video attached in case FB blocks; source URL is facebook.com/share/r/1ZaUBtkGC)

    ICE officer shove, drag person across between parked cars. Shrieking crowd throws snowballs. ICE responds with pepper spray.

    @inthehands While at the ICE bldg in Portland we noticed that the same cars were going to and from the bldg with different plates. I think they have been trading out random plates at another location and driving in and out to avoid detection in their vehicles with their plates in public. In June they had just started taping their plates up or taking them off entirely but people started reporting them as driving with no plates

    You’re valid in feeling enraged. Everyone should be enraged. I wish more people were because anger is a DOING emotion.

    It's also against state law to drive a vehicle using license plates registered to another vehicle.

    These are not "undercover" operations. They are and should be acting in plain sight.

    I should think something along the lines of spoiled dairy products. You can add an acid product like lemon juice or vinegar to milk or yogurt. But lemon juice and milk can also make buttermilk, and I don't know why that is safe. Anyway, takes 30-60 minutes for the reaction.

    @inthehands They're free to turn them away, refuse to serve them. Or kick them out (though usually without charging).

    I worked in food service for many years. Don't fuck with people who make stuff you're going to put in your body.

    ICE is playing a very dangerous game, and I wonder if they're aware of it. Most of them seem like dumb thugs to me. I would bet they're not savvy enough to recognize themselves as SA.

    @inthehands If #ICE personnel refuse to identify themselves to local or state police, the police should at least collect photos, as well as retinal scans and fingerprints if possible. AFIK, these are not considered protected private information requiring a warrant to collect. The devices are less expensive than the weapons police carry. I predict more than a few thugs with a history of trouble with the law will turn up. They will also be easier to find and prosecute after these troubles pass.

    @inthehands You don't cite them, you take them off the road. Cops should treat members of the ICE gang the same way they would treat members of any other gang showing fake or no license plates, running stop signs and red lights, refusing to identify themselves and masking their faces while armed.

    Problem is, the ICE gang and the cop gang are often but chapters of the same gang, so none of this happens

    Technically ICE does things that violate the rules that basically every business applies to people anyway. If one of us went in disrupting everything and grabbing people, you can bet they'd kick us out. So technically, by their own arbitrary rules they *have* to deny access to ICE... (There is no one set of rules beyond "don't disrupt our profit margins" but still...)

    @inthehands It is clear that #ICE doesn't have the stomach for battle. As we gain dominance over ICE, the worst problem may become police departments with "task force model" 287(g) agreements. Lots of these exist in places infested with MAGA meatheads, and operate essentially unopposed.

    In Florida last Spring the Florida State Police kidnapped over a thousand people in one operation lasting less than a week, and joint police/ICE attacks have been common. The only one I know off the top of my head to have been defeated was an attack on migrant workers in Immokalee, FL near the start of all this. A sheriff's dept car with hostages inside was surrounded and the cops were forced to release hostages taken by ICE to escape without having to fight their way out.

    Common pattern is for too many state police or sheriffs cars for a speed trap to sit on a highway off-ramp and pull over every work truck they can for "immigration checks." This may be with or without an ICE vehicle even being present. Lately ICE themselves has been in Miami an lot, possibly hunting Cubans. One day I saw a forest of incident pins in Miami on iceout.org. No whistles, no gathering crowds, just kidnappers operating freely. Remember all cops here are effectively ICE agents too, making things far more dangerous.

    Florida governor DeSantis is an even bigger Nazi than Trump, so we have two concentration camps here too: Camp Baker and the notorious Alligator Auschwitz torture camp.

    Florida is turning into Hell, under a roaring Cat 5 hurricane of official violence, racism, and hate.
