Bad Bunny said it right — we won't let ICE's depravity strip us of our humanity.

Our communities, neighbors, and loved ones are worth fighting for.

M.H. never thought as a U.S. citizen he’d be detained by ICE simply for being Somali.

ICE’s racism and ruthless arrest tactics are traumatizing for anyone who has experienced it.

LOOK: "Is Colorado in America?"
This poster got the man who made it arrested for flag desecration.

S.O. kept telling immigration agents that he could show them his ID if they simply asked for it — they ignored him.

“My ID was in my left pocket the entire time, and they would not let me present it.”

We’ll see the Trump administration in court.

We are not the first people, or the first country, to suffer under a tyrannical government that does not respect our lives, or our rights.

There is a method for how to effectively resist, and eventually topple, such a regime. We can learn from others who came before us.

This is my favorite guide.

there were Honda Accords and Civics back then. Our semi-racist neighbors owned them for years and drove the s*** out of them. And their durability ate also-ran Fords for lunch at the time too. Even the original VW Beetle, in its last year of sales in the US, was far higher in quality.

ICE Agents Are Even Worse At Being Cops Than You Think
Videos of agents falling down and dropping their guns feel beyond parody. But under-trained law enforcement officers are a real danger to the public.
