At this point, ICE is just a group of people who harass Latinos based on racist criteria. It doesn't even have to do with immigration.
As a white person, I think of the German people who did nothing when Jewish people were gradually stripped of rights, before the eventual death camps, and I'm not actually sure of what to do. I also am not really convinced that there are no Latinos being sent to death camps right now. If there were, would I know somehow?
My political views are somewhat moderate. I just don't like racism.
Is there anything I can do that will have any meaningful impact on protecting Latinos from this racism? I do not consider protests to be meaningful and I am not asking for any suggestions that are illegal, especially since the government probably trolls these posts. I feel like I'm being a bad person by doing nothing.
You could warn your area if you see ICE around on this website.
Finding and getting involved in a local mutual aid group would be quite meaningful, as it would allow you to meet people who share your same concerns IRL, and be able to plan and organize for how to react in your area. It's very make a meaningful difference alone, finding a solid group is very important.
Attempting to unionize your workplace if it isn't already would be very helpful to further prepare for a General Strike (as they usually have strike funds to make a general strike financially bearable), which is pretty much our last non-violent option to prevent all of this from progressing. You can see how a general strike helped cripple Chile's government while civil unrest was occurring in this documentary.
I'd recommend contacting the IWW, who will gladly train you to become an organizer with proven techniques to unionize your workplace.
Lastly, I'd also recommend checking out the book Full Spectrum Resistance for a more complete guide on how to prepare and respond.
https://www.iceinmyarea.org/ wouldn't let me on the website because I'm using Tor Browser in safer mode and WebGL is blocked (Vercel Security Checkpoint Failed to verify your browser Code 11) and I'm not willing to go on a website like that without using Tor Browser. I really don't trust anything that doesn't trust Tor Browser.
They’ve been chipping away at Tor browser for a while now. It’s well known that it can be fingerprinted now. I think it was like last year or something where they made a change they lied about and got caught. Eventually enough people had it that someone finally tested the damn thing and demonstrated the flaw. The tor browser people said too bad we’re not changing it. It was something that was intentionally introduced to enable fingerprinting on tor. The network itself seems very good but tor browser itself, not so much
I’m not saying to stop using tor, but you really should diversify your shit. Look into i2p, set up a reticulum node, get multiple options ready. The great danger of tor is that damn near everybody involved in darknet stuff is using it, which means it’s an incredibly appealing target for the feds who have demonstrated they are not to be trusted
I just assume any and all communications are being monitored by the NSA, or somebody even more secretive. VPNs, browsers, etc. may fool the standard id confirmations and such, but they aren't evading the top spooks.
If they want you, they'll get you, no matter what precautions you take.
Agreed but if they are going to run around playing nazi games, I’m gonna make them work for it.
Of course, we are already at the point where they lie and just make shit up anyway so it’s mostly an intellectual exercise at this point.
It wouldn't let me there either. Not sure it's my VPN or my browser, but I figured most people aren't going to have as intense of a privacy set-up as we do. I also don't know of an alternative to that site now that the ICE Block app was removed from stores.
For all I know, the website could be a honeypot, although I have no reason to suspect that. But I don't know who the developer is, I don't know what Vercel is, I don't know why Anubis isn't sufficient.
