The grassroots organization in the Twin Cities that has stood up to ICE is an example of how anarchism works: it is horizontal and participatory, without centralization or authority.

How could we live without centralization or authority?

人々は、誘拐・暴行・恐怖支配しようとする連邦捜査官から自分達の地域を守るために迅速対応ネットワークを組織した。迅速対応ネットワークは、常に変化する移民・関税執行局（ICE）の戦術に対応すべく、目まぐるしい進化を遂げてきた。1カ月半に及ぶ占領の間、ツインシティーズ（ミネアポリスとセントポールから成る都市圏）のボランティア達は、自らの迅速対応モデルを絶えず更新し、ダイナミックで強靭なシステムを作り上げてきた。以下の報告では、間もなく同様の圧力に直面する可能性のある米国中の人々のために、このシステムの詳細を明らかにする。

Crossing the Line: It Really Is Safer in the Front

On Saturday, January 24, in response to the murder of Alex Pretti, demonstrators gathered outside the ICE facility in Portland, Oregon.

A participant describes the experience of collectively crossing the line into resistance and discovering that, when everyone does this together, our oppressors’ power evaporates.

In the middle of the chaos, someone yelled, “It’s safer in the front!” The crowd surged forward together, larger and more unified than before.

What happened that night was grief turning into action. It was rage turning into protection. It was the understanding that when the government murders someone for defending others, the only moral response is to stand up. Together.

As a consequence of that kind of solidarity, not one single person was snatched by the feds for crossing their blue line.

We've updated an old poster of ours to support the strikes against ICE.

"Our best protection from fascism is that they depend on us to keep their society running. WHEN THE SHOOTING STARTS, AMERICA STOPS."

Shut it all down!

The above poster is a revision of a poster we made in March 2003 to promote the walkouts and blockades with which people protested the senseless invasion of Iraq, which ultimately cost nearly a million lives.

That should drive home the stakes of this fight today.

Democrats are seeking "reforms" like bodycams for federal agents (so they have more footage to make commercials promoting mercenary violence), marked ICE vehicles (so we can't pressure car rental agencies), stricter codes of conduct (while thousands of bounty hunters go on terrorizing us).

Even if the regime is forced to slow down a bit, their goal is full totalitarianism. Trump is implementing fascism as fast as we let him. By treating this as something to be "reformed," Democrats are complicit in normalizing it.

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.

ICE is ethnic cleansing.
