Summary
The ACLU has filed a lawsuit against Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) demanding details on plans to implement President-elect Donald Trump’s proposed mass deportation program.
The lawsuit follows ICE’s failure to respond to a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request filed in August.
The ACLU seeks information on ICE’s chartered flights, transportation contracts, and facilities potentially used for deportations.
Trump has vowed to deport millions of undocumented immigrants and plans to declare a national emergency to activate military resources.
Advocates warn the program could devastate immigrant communities. Investigations are ongoing.
What can you do to thwart it?
In isolation, no one can do anything. But if people organize in large numbers and share the risk, they can be a real force of resistance.
Don’t think of it as “putting a complete stop to it” vs “do nothing.”
Sabotage, malicious compliance, petty theft, these can all go towards slowing things down, making them take longer, cost more, demand more attention that could be put to different shit ideas.
