People are very deliberately not doing that. The idea (for the moment) is to use civil resistance to limit what ICE can accomplish while not provoking a gun battle where the federal government can outgun any local group
Civil resistance isn’t working. The trump government is stomping all over you. Defend yourselves FFS. “Don’t tread on me”.
It’s working fine. ICE morale and recruitment are both in the toilet, and it seems like every day we get more incidents of ICE actually being driven off by increasingly savvy local resistance. Meanwhile, every documented incident of unjustified ICE thuggery is driving public opinion further against ICE.
Honestly, it’s working far better than I would have dared hope. But, as soon as protesters start shooting ICE, public opinion will swing back the other way, and Trump will finally have his justification to fill the streets with actual military.
Animal costumes and chants are not going to end this.
You and two buddies with rifles won’t either. It takes wining Congress. Right now animal costumes which causes pepper balls to fall to the ground instead of bursting are doing more for us than guns
Do you think the Democrats will stop any of this?
When they are now longer in the minority, yes
What do you hope they will do?
I’m expecting a cut to ICE funding do that they are not staffed to launch military occupations of cities
Don’t you want arrests? Investigations? Indictments? Arrests?
Those require executive power. It can’t come from congress
