    local outlet article

    FTA:

    Oceja is the co-founder of Vecendarios 901. She said a few people were released by ICE 
    at the scene after showing proof of legal status, but others with legal status were not 
    given that opportunity.  
    
    “They stopped reviewing those documents and they just started rounding everybody up 
    and putting them on the buses, and so once they arrived to their destination like Mason 
    or even Louisiana, and then those folks were able to produce those documents, then 
    that’s when ICE started to release them,” Oceja said. “We ended up having to have some 
    volunteers drive up to Mason to pick those families, or those people, up that were being 
    released, without any form of communication.”  
    

    So even if you have your papers on you, ICE will kidnap you, drag you across state lines, and then dump you with no way to communicate and no way to get home.

      They’re picking the right states to do it in. If they tried this in NYC, not one of those ICE Apes would make it out alive.

          Detention does not equal raids. They’re intentionally shipping detainees to different regions to inconvenience anyone who would help, like lawyers, family, and to add mental anguish to detainees. Do you have data on how many clubs have been raided in New York City or other blue cities in blue states?

            Click on the data in the link, hundreds of people were abducted in NYC alone, and nobody revolted. Nobody.

              Was the point total abductions or what culture would allow, like mass abductions from racist targeting like at minority based clubs?

      We’ve been conditioned to listen to authority without question. Even if that authority is out to kill us.

          The most important measures you can take immediately are to educate yourself and to get organized. The people are strong, but only if united. Knowing how to struggle and applying said knowledge are the only way to move forward.
