Just now, Rodney Scott, the commissioner of Customs and Border Protection, described anti-ICE protesters as "coordinated well-funded insurgencies" while testifying before the House of Representatives, calling for even more funding and legislation to enable them to violently repress US citizens.

Why haven't federal agents begun widespread crackdowns on US citizens?
Simple: they are still busy kidnapping and deporting immigrants.
But as soon as they can, they will use the same infrastructure and tactics against you.
Fighting for immigrants is fighting to protect ourselves and each other.

It was not the first public execution ICE carried out. But because rapid responders caught it on film and angry locals forced ICE to withdraw after, there can be no question about what happened.

Throughout the ICE raids, local and state police who answer to Democrat politicians have consistently done the dirty work to enable ICE to continue its campaign of ethnic cleansing.

If, under Adolf Hitler, the Nazis had been compelled to behave themselves more politely while they rounded up and disappeared people, if they had been discouraged from murdering German gentiles as they carried out the Holocaust, would that have addressed the problem? No.

But the Twin Cities have been able to resist ICE because of networks that developed then. Changing a broken system takes more than reform.

The classic non-profit / political party move is to find people willing to back a policy that is expedient for them, then claim to be representing the community, as if the community is a monolith.

Is it tossing a tear gas canister back to the mercenaries who shot it at you?
Is it blowing a whistle at bounty hunters who are trying to abduct someone?
Perhaps, rather than asking whether an action is "violent," we should ask—
Does it perpetrate oppression? Or interrupt it?

We understand why non-profit organizations cannot engage in the sort of effective tactics that autonomous grassroots networks can.
But it is deeply irresponsible for them to try to prevent others from taking action to protect their neighbors—and worse still to frame this as concern for community.
