Now, disconnect the water, electricity, and network.

Objectively hilarious, but I can't believe they don't have a set of boltcutters in there somewhere.
We sure they didn't chain it to keep the protest out?
They probably just started filming as soon as the crooks noticed. With these vids its all about framing and timing, because 5 minutes later that gate was probably open and everyone arrested. Still a cool protest idea tho.
Are there portable arc welders?
How quick can you weld a few pieces of steel across the gates?
These questions a purely academic.
Yes there are and they are less than $200 for a full setup, these are the wire fed type you can get at a Harbor Freight.
The power supply is the trickiest part, but the low end welders only need a 20amp circuit, which is a typical power level that might serve a suburban bedroom. You would need a vehicle but even a couple of deep cycle lead-acid batteries and an converter/inverter would power several minutes of welding, more than enough as typical spot welds only require ~10 seconds of arc time.

That's a very informative comment and I'll save it to base some research on
But more interesting is the sculpture you mentioned. I'd love to see if you wouldn't mind sharing!
Sculpture deserves its own post. Preferably a video of the creation process if you have it.

That's cool, do you have any pictures to share?
There are portable power banks (generally known as power stations) that can put out that sort of power. 2.5-3kw is expensive, but not hideously.
You get batteries and inverter all in a portable package.
I'm with @rooty@lemmy.world that sounds sick and I wanna see that
Thermite doesn't require any electricity
You can make a stuck welder with nothing but a couple pairs of vice grips thick wire (good old jumper cables), some stick electrodes and a couple car batteries in series.
I think the elecroboom guy did it on stage at a ted talk once.
It takes 5 seconds to climb that fence.
You think those ice agents could climb? Especially in their tacticool cosplay gear?! The fence is also designed not to be easy to climb in case you didn't notice.
Great opportunity for some person in security to “misplace” the boltcutters
A federal facility without a bolt cutter? What a bunch if morons.
Don't worry, they'll have ICE use the ones they allegedly use to allegedly cut off the pinky toes of everyone they deport.
i think this was a good idea
This is UNLAWFUL DETAINMENT and the Perps need to be DEPORTED!
-People who SUPPORT ICE!
Well now yer fish are in the barrel. You know what to do.
There seems to be no reference to this that is not reddit, facebook, x, threads, or instagram. Not sure what that means. Just an observation. I cant access the video for some reason.
Why can’t these fucking potatoes climb the fence? What a bunch of bastards!
