If you have one coming, it's important to set up a local rapid response network. That means:

  • A hotline for locals to call (and distributing the number)
  • Town or neighborhood level signal chats to alert people about what is happening
  • Whistle distribution so that it's possible to rapidly alert immediate neighbors
  • Starting regular patrols to spot ICE before they kidnap anybody

    Don't forget, these processing centers are really meant for long-term use, not just the short-term excuse of cleaning up the illegals. Once they've tackled the immigration problem, which shouldn't take long with their massive numbers and budget, they'll have to use those facilities for something else.

    The future business model of the United States will be to incarcerate everybody who violates the law even a little bit, and then rent them out as prison slave labor, and these facilities will house that labor.

    And it won't just be "criminals." If AI, Robotics, and Slave Labor take your job away, you'll be able to get government assistance, perhaps even UBI, in exchange for living in the Labor Camps, and volunteering to be a slave.

    Every citizen of every nation that has been destroyed by their government denied that it could ever happen in their beautiful country. Sarajevo hosted an Olympics in front of the entire world, and in a few short years, they were the victims of one of the most brutal sieges in human history.

    A few centuries ago, some city state would be going along as they had every day since written records, only to have the Huns or the Mongols arrive the next day, and kill literally every living thing.

    German citizens of 1933 would have laughed at you if you told them that in less than a decade, they would be murdering their fellow citizens at a wholesale pace, and the rest of the world would literally bomb their beautiful nation to rubble.

    The South never would have started the Civil War if they had been truthful with themselves about the price they would pay.

    Every country is beautiful, until it isn't.

    Fucking evil. Know why? My wife got her Green Card in the USCIS in Santa Ana in the same building as ICE is setting up in. They're 100% going to use this as a way to target people seeking legal status, guaranteed.

    I believe the same is true of the federal building in LA, too. One could make the point that no one in the entire state will house ICE except that which is owned already by the feds, but to share buildings with people seeking legal status is absolutely abhorrent.

    Yep. Even perfectly normal visa renewals often include brief periods of technically undocumented status during various paperwork delays and such. Historically that wasn't a big deal because no one was getting disappeared over an immigration civil infraction, but here were are now. All those little gaps in the system are opportunities to randomly deport working people for no reason.

    I hope not, but I wouldn't be surprised. I'm aware there's been a few high profile ICE incidents in Santa Ana in particular, but most of the people there are still citizens; it might be the obvious racism that makes things tense. They've always had a hard time dealing with their conservative neighbors, though.

    There are dozens of well-documented examples. Plus some where they put somebody on life support for deportation.

    The question is the scale of killing, to what extent do poor food and sanitation in rhe concentration camps kill, and how often does deporting a healthy person result in their death in the following weeks to months.

    Edit: See Silence7's comment below, unlisted planned locations and expansions may undermine the conclusions.

    My observations:

    The list adds more evidence that Trump/Miller are actively planning to use ICE to interfere with polling in 2026 and (their hope is) 2028. The following states are states that are potentially contestable either as Biden '20-Trump'24 swing states or are close enough to swing that ICE's racial profiling against primarily Latinos may swing demographics. These are getting high amounts of ICE buildout (Edit: Per the limited, incomplete list of planned locations on Wired):

    • Arizona (2)
    • Florida (5) (*2026 senate seat)
    • Michigan (3) (*2026 senate seat)
    • North Carolina (2) (*2026 senate seat)
    • Pennsylvania (5)
    • Texas (6) (*2026 senate seat)
    • Virginia (3) (*2026 senate seat)

    California is also getting 5, and that may reflect the plan to use it as the next flashpoint state. Since California may be seen as more likely to be volatile, I could imagine the plan is to replicate Minnesota in California this summer. They may assume they will succeed in getting Fox News-ready violent response footage if they continue acting illegally, and use that propaganda to try to give cover to the Insurrection Act, leading to an antifa "anti-terrorist" push, which then is used nationwide to justify ICE at high-value House/Senate swing district polling stations in the fall.

    States that Trump were previously trialing ICE takeover but are safely democratic (Oregon, Illinois) are NOT getting significantly more offices, which again suggests they don't intend to try to swing those. Neither is Minnesota. That is likely because Trump (i.e., Miller) isn't going to risk more bad PR there. He knows murdering Nice White People™ is the red line for most of the low-information public who will shrug at "is it or isn't it" fascism otherwise. Minnesota served its purpose as proving ground for the tactics and violence they plan to use.

    I'd be a little bit hesitant about that kind of inference. Per the article:

    It does not include more than 100 planned ICE locations across many states—including California, New York, and New Jersey—where WIRED has not viewed every specific address.

    So there are a whole lot more locations that aren't public yet. It feels more like they're simply trying to take the Minnesota approach national, and levy war on the whole country at once, rather than specifically target elections.

  • source

    The plan is to send ICE agents to polling location and pull up everyone that "looks like an immigrant" WHICH IS PERFECTLY LEGAL TO DO (thanks supreme court) and detain them for "verification", oops, I guess you are a citizen, shame you couldn't vote.

    This is also why they are attacking mail-in-ballots because this doesn't work if brown people can vote from home.

    Yeah there are people keeping eyes out. Currently the level of ICE activity has been very low which unfortunately means there is also less activity in the watchers. I am worried about a big ramp up like mentioned in the article. I'm in Sacramento so I feel like we could get targeted for being the capital.

    What you can do during the lull before they ramp up is to get about 1 person in 500-1000 in the metro area to join with active response and start printing whistles.

    Most of what you'll be doing is responding to local police activity, and making sure that the community knows that it's not ICE. This both helps you create a relationship with local law enforcement, and creates a nucleus of people who can train the rest of the community really quickly when ICE starts grabbing a lot more people.
