First things first: the migrant community gets to set the rules of engagement for fighting this enemy. That said, they have a totally free hand against this kind of enemy and we should be prepared to back them up no matter how far migrants decide to take this. If they stand down, we stand down unless asked to the contrary. If asked for street heat, we must be ready.

One very effective tactic for this is to find ways of forcing local and city governments to refuse to provide police protection for ICE raids. Without help from supposed sanctuary city cops, they do NOT have the manpower to do these raids without taking serious risks ICE should not be able to enter an urban neighborhood without worrying about how they are going to fight their way back out. If an urban uprising gets going and they have no support from the other pigs in the town, they can only flee like the vermin they are and hope they don't get ringed in. If they do they are in a world of shit. Thus, denying them police help will either stop the raids entirely or force them to launch very few raids, using all of their assets on a very small number of raids to save their own asses.

For me as this has been for many Indigenous and mixed Indigenous folks on this part of the continent, this is a matter of pan-indigenous solidarity: an attack on one of us is an attack on ALL of us, and many of us refuse to recognize borders drawn by those who swarmed from their ships like plague rats, then stole everything that wasn't nailed down, everything that WAS nailed down, and everything to which it was nailed. To Europeans who describe migrants and immigration laws with a comparison to burglars, I say the white racists and ICE are not only not the homeowners, they are the burglars themselves-on stolen land.
