I have been calling my representative & senators about this since Trump starting writing his evil executive orders. My rep is a Trumper - no response. Both my senators are Dems - some response, but not enough. I feel helpless.
We need to continue sharing all the pictures, videos & stories we can. The more these monsters are exposed the better! People need information & awareness.
Get the names and contact info of your local media reporters. Tv, print, etc. Local aclu. Contact local clergy. And others.
Do this before there is a crisis.
Then develop contact groups that can immediately activate a response.
Validate and work with others.
But much can be done individually.
There are an awful lot of 2A people out there who aren’t going to stand for having their doors knocked down. People on both sides of this are going to really get hurt or killed. When it comes to protecting their families some people won’t hesitate to do whatever they think needs to be done.
Literally fight back. This shit has gone too far. It's time to physically put ourselves between ICE and their intended victims. It's time to start throwing rocks.
VOTE!!! In EVERY single election, Learn FACTS, care for others, get engaged in real activism to protect and improve the wellbeing of our diverse communities and our environment.
The people should do whatever they would do in the case of a gang of violent criminals coming into their neighbourhoods and kidnapping people. Because that's what they are: ICE "agents" are commiting criminal kidnappings (having no warrant signed by a judge, these are kidnappings).
State holds to itself monopoly on violence, and so when State goes bad, situation is difficult. People form self-help groups, watch out for and warn against agents of State (police/ICE/etc). There is also protest, but this is difficult as State ends up using violence, and then in time, torture.
Because the Congress and SCOTUS are controlled by radical right ringers & fake Christians, the only recourse left is for informed voters to absolutely punish ALL Republicans in the mid-term elections. Sorry to say if that doesn’t happen, I fear our country is lost. Until then, join public protests!
This is absolutely dreadful and heart breaking. What's next step ? Taking away the 16 yo girl's baby after calling social services because she's an isolated minor ? How many lives will they destroy ? ICE is Trump's Gestapo. And the police is helping them.
Expose the thugs who are doing this. Their names need to be published. Are they employees of the U.S. government? Then FOIA. Are they Proud Boys? Then they have no protection whatsoever. Local
Police need to stop protecting them and start arresting them.
