This raid didn’t get much press at the time because it’s Idaho. But it’s truly shocking.
And it shows that these policies work like we’ve alleged in Alabama.
The scale just makes it so much harder to minimize the harm of a show-me-your papers regime. These people weren’t let go “promptly.”

More than 400 people, including hundreds of citizens, were “sorted” at gun point into racial and ethnic groups by 200 ICE agents who fired flash-bang grenades into cars with people inside, pointed guns at children & demanded their zip tied parents not comfort them. apple.news/Ausdx6kWtT0e...

ICE has now spent over half a BILLION dollars just on purchasing warehouses around the country to convert into detention camps.
If these mega-camps are utilized to the full capacity ICE intends, they'll be the largest prisons in the country, with little real oversight. www.ajc.com/politics/202...

I'll say that feminism is necessary with my whole chest. it's necessary in our organizing and in our scenes.

I genuinely think a lot of activists could benefit from learning the history of migration in the U.S. loving your neighbor is important but it's also about the racialized labor structures that enable capital
On this day in 1917, Congress passed an Immigration Act that banned racial groups deemed "undesirable" from entering the U.S., and primarily barred Asian people.

Some in South Minneapolis have created what they call “filter blockades” on Cedar Ave. A handout says the roundabout like blockade is meant to bring neighbors together to strategize against ICE while also identifying traffic coming into the area.

Not a judgment and IDK how you overcome it but...it's striking that every time a fresh national news story drops about ICE in the Twin Cities (ProPublica today), a lot of people respond with "Wow, I didn't realize it was that bad" and everyone in MN goes "Yes and it's a hundred times worse"

I think a lot of leftists are trying to historically analyze this moment in bite sized snippets for public consumption: imperial boomerang, slave catchers, gestapo.
but the truth is that the US empire is built on white supremacist violence at home and abroad. it's a synthesis of all three
