Summary
The ACLU has filed a lawsuit against Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) demanding details on plans to implement President-elect Donald Trump’s proposed mass deportation program.
The lawsuit follows ICE’s failure to respond to a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request filed in August.
The ACLU seeks information on ICE’s chartered flights, transportation contracts, and facilities potentially used for deportations.
Trump has vowed to deport millions of undocumented immigrants and plans to declare a national emergency to activate military resources.
Advocates warn the program could devastate immigrant communities. Investigations are ongoing.
So best case scenario is we find out how he’s doing it. So what? What will they do to stop it?
What can you do to thwart it?
In isolation, no one can do anything. But if people organize in large numbers and share the risk, they can be a real force of resistance.
Don’t think of it as “putting a complete stop to it” vs “do nothing.”
Sabotage, malicious compliance, petty theft, these can all go towards slowing things down, making them take longer, cost more, demand more attention that could be put to different shit ideas.
Well what else do you want the ACLU to do? They’re doing what they can
It’s just stupid news. It adds nothing to the conversation and they talk it up as if it will change something. I get what they do, but nothing short of widespread resistance will change it. A week long nationwide work stoppage would do it
That’s actually true. The groups with voices should call for that
