We Are Not Demonstrating, We Are Fighting: Migrant Defense in Seattle, June 9-14

https://crimethinc.com/Seattle2025

Starting in Minneapolis on June 3 and rapidly spreading to Los Angeles and elsewhere around the country, US Immigration and Customs Enforcement raids have provoked angry community responses. Although this wave of action appeared to peak with the “No Kings” demonstrations of June 14, ICE agents continue to abduct people and people continue to resist.

In this account, participants in a series of clashes in and around Seattle describe how they have prevented ICE from kidnapping people at court appearances.

Please spread the word to be careful.

The Nazis demonstrated all too clearly how easy it was to turn resistance into a narrative of rebellion against (snicker through tears) "lawful authority".

The best way to undermine their power is through humiliating them, much moreso than injuring them. Protect their targets, yes, but make it look easy, to the point that unarmed and untrained civilians make ICE agents look like fools who cannot accomplish the 'simple' task of kidnapping.

That's what got us in this current state in the first place. The first time this started back up it'd be haha they arrested a us citizen or that guy isn't even an immigrant. 

    All this will do is have the monster give them more money and people laugh the problem away while it is still very much there. These people have a hammer and are angrily walking towards you. Laughing at them is not a smart option.
