@rss there have been many instances where community members in Los Angeles have been able to chase ICE agents away and prevent people from being detained.A "member of Unión del Barrio, a national organization that has led resistance efforts against [police violence and ICE] since its inception in 1981" said abductions happen less "when there’s large numbers of community members, when the agents are outnumbered in large quantities...."Unión del Barrio also encourages people not to walk on the street by themselves, to stay in large crowds, and to use their right to stay silent, so that it’s impossible to distinguish if there’s anyone in the group who’s undocumented.
