ICE arrested Juan’s uncle in late October, on a freeway on-ramp while he was on his way to work early in the morning, around 5 a.m. Juan said his uncle’s arrest — and that of several others — sent a chill through the neighborhood.

A day after his uncle’s arrest, Juan said he was stopped by law enforcement on the freeway in the middle of the road. He describes four cars surrounding him, and slowing down to a stop on the freeway. He believes it was ICE. He suspects they followed him from his uncle’s neighborhood and were waiting for him the next day.

    Speaking from a part of the country where ICE came and backed out (for now), we were organizing neighborhood watches hours before the boots hit the ground.

    Although ICE might be getting more efficient in every new city, the resistance is also getting more efficient. The people take the latest volunteer training materials from the last occupied city and then they trainthe new city. Moreover, the cities that know it’s coming have been hiring paid community organizers who can help onboard and organize when its go time.

    If masked men are allowed to kidnap people without warrants or accountability we were never “free” and the constitution was never real. Buy guns, buy ammo and protect your loved ones. Facists don’t leave peacefully.

    The KKK did the same shit. ICE is the re-re-birth of the KKK run by a New York liberal
