HOW TO RESIST ICE in Your Neighborhood and Town
Practical information on what you can do before or during an ICE incursion in your area, with nearly 100 links for more further information, statistics, and local and national groups.
There is no single organization that is coordinating, organizing, or supporting ICE resistance. This guide is compiled by Bad Penny in Greensboro, NC, and it is based on guidance from a number of sources that are acting independently. This guide does not speak for those organizations, and the press is not affiliated with them.
The Trump administration is attempting in various ways to provoke violence and endanger those who live in the United States. It alleges that ICE resistance is part of a national network of coordinated protestors, and that those connected to that network are domestic terrorists. It claims that it can break into private businesses to conduct arrests. It claims it can go door-to-door to conduct immigration round-ups. It claims monitoring ICE is an illegal obstruction of law enforcement. Agents of this administration pepper spray and push non-violent legal observers in order to escalate tension and provide a premise for further erosion of the civil rights of assembly and protest.
The techniques for resisting ICE that are described in this guide are currently considered legal. The Trump administration frequently alleges without evidence that those who monitor its activities or oppose its aims are operating outside of the law. Before engaging in any type of resistance to this administration, determine whether that resistance falls within your own acceptable level of risk.
