ICE is the regime’s private army — at least that’s what they signaled in the “Big Beautiful Budget” when they funded it at levels equivalent to Italy or Israel’s military budget. Resisting ICE is a moral imperative on humanitarian grounds, but it is also a practical necessity: what they get away with against non-citizens today, Trump threatens citizens with tomorrow.
From Whistle-Resistance to subtler defiance, we collect resources here. Learn how to video-tape a detention, or get inspiration for spreading the word and documenting ICE’s bad behavior. ICE are cowards: where people organize and resist, they leave quickly. They were in Charlotte N.C. for less than a week, after 600 people showed up for trainings, 30,000 students walked out in protest, and someone slashed their tires in the middle of the night. (We do not, of course, encourage illegal actions. This site “keeps it green” with legal resistance.)
Alt Natl Parks says there is a nationwide ICE surge in the first week of July. If your community uses whistles to warn vulnerable people to the presence of ICE activity, pull them out of storage. If you need a refresher on the rules (don’t whistle over rapid responders!) click through.

Tens of thousands of children face a dismal holiday season, all because our nation has decided nobody is innocent enough to evade detention. All too many of those detainees are children themselves. Buy a gift or donate cash to an immigration group buying gifts for children in detention, or left behind. Check with local immigration groups first. If you don’t find a program, we recommend Americans for Immigrant Justice, rated four stars by Charity Navigator.
